Beijing, April 9, 2020 – Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) announced that its 5G test solution has been selected by China Teller Labs (CTTL) for use in 5G NR (New Radio) 3GPP specifications. 5G devices are certified in two frequency ranges, FR1 (450 to 6000 MHz) and FR2 (24250 to 52600 MHz). Keysight Technologies is a leading technology company dedicated to helping enterprises, service providers and government customers accelerate innovation and create a secure, connected world.
CTTL is one of the largest certification laboratories in China’s information and communication technology (ICT) industry, and is affiliated to the China Academy of Information and Communication Technology (CAICT), a scientific research institution directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China. The test lab selected Keysight’s 5G network and channel emulation solutions to build its first 5G conformance test platform for certifying 5G mmWave devices. With this move, CTTL can use Keysight’s 5G test solutions for the FR1 and FR2 frequency bands to meet the needs of the Chinese 5G market. According to GSMA forecasts, China’s 5G market will support more than 460 million 5G connections by 2025.
Compact Field Chamber (CATR) is an important feature of Keysight’s 5G OTA (Over the Air Test). The chamber seamlessly integrates with Keysight’s network and channel emulation solutions to form an end-to-end 5G solution that supports testing of any form factor in any frequency band specified by 3GPP. CTTL uses Keysight’s 5G test solutions to serve the connected mobile ecosystem, which requires performance verification before 5G devices go to market. These 5G devices will be used to meet consumer demand in China’s 5G market. According to Statista, this market is expected to grow from about 560 billion yuan in 2020 to about 4.35 trillion yuan in 2030.
By 2022, more than half of 5G subscribers are expected to come from China. Last year, China’s three major mobile operators launched commercial 5G services and deployed more than 130,000 5G base stations, making China the world’s largest 5G market. Major Chinese mobile device manufacturers, including Xiaomi, OnePlus and OPPO, have also selected Keysight’s comprehensive 5G solutions to drive research and development, validation and operator acceptance testing of their own devices.
Cao Peng, Senior Director of Keysight’s Commercial Communications Business Unit, said: “We are delighted to deepen our cooperation with CTTL; this not only confirms Keysight’s strong ability to respond to market demands, but also strengthens our commitment to creating a secure and connected information society. Broad vision.”
CTTL also used Keysight’s 5G test solutions to meet GCF and PTCRB certification requirements. Keysight has made a significant contribution to the global mobile communications standards organization 3GPP, providing a large number of GCF-validated 5GNR conformance test cases for protocol and radio frequency (RF) device validation.
In January 2020, Keysight announced a partnership with CAICT to accelerate the 5GNR base station performance test plan. The plan is led by the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group, which serves as an important platform to bring together many leading operators, manufacturers, universities and research institutions to promote 5G in China.
