Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) and ASELSAN Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., Turkey, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a strategic partnership on research and development of 5G communication technologies. Both parties are committed to working together on 5G enabling technologies—especially on active antenna systems and remote radio heads, as well as prototype verification platform integration and characterization capabilities, with a goal of enhancing future 5G wireless communication innovations.

The collaboration between Keysight and ASELSAN started with ASELSAN mmWave RRH integration within Keysight's 5G Waveform Generation and Analysis Testbed, Reference Solution, including MIMO real-time beamforming and beam steering over-the-air characterization capabilities. The W1906BEL 5G Baseband Exploration Library provides ready-to-use reference signal processing IPs for 5G technology research. ASELSAN will provide the following products and solutions:

• 10 Ghz microwave transmitter with antennae
• 10 GHz microwave receiver with antennae
• Control unit and local oscillator for massive MIMO beam steering
• Antennae for user equipment

The collaboration will lead to the launch of the next generation of RRH high-speed broadband mmWave wireless communications exploration and new characterization technics.
