Enhanced Testing Solutions: Anritsu’s New One-Box Tester Revolutionizes 5G Conformance
Testing Solutions: Anritsu Corporation has unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in 5G testing technology. Their latest innovation, the enhanced New Radio RF Conformance Test System ME7873NR Lite Model, now supports both RF and protocol conformance testing within a single, integrated system. This advancement signifies a major leap in optimizing the testing process for 5G communication devices.
Seamless Integration: RF and Protocol Conformance Testing
Previously, testing 5G communication devices for RF and protocol conformance required separate one-box testers, each with distinct hardware setups. Anritsu’s newly enhanced Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A, when paired with the ME7873NR Lite Model, allows for both RF and protocol conformance testing from a single unit. This streamlined approach eliminates the need for multiple testers, making the transition between different types of testing more efficient and cost-effective.
Product Overview: ME7873NR Lite Model
The ME7873NR Lite Model is designed to operate with just one MT8000A unit, offering a compact yet powerful solution for RF conformance testing of 5G communication devices. This model supports a variety of 5G FR1 TRx tests and includes some Performance (Perf) and Radio Resource Management (RRM) tests, albeit with a limited selection of test items.
Cost-Effective Capital Investment
By utilizing a one-box tester with a streamlined set of testing functions, companies can significantly reduce the cost of conformance testing. Existing MT8000A owners can now perform both RF and protocol conformance testing with minimal additional investment. Moreover, the Lite Model is designed to be upgraded to the full ME7873NR model, offering a pathway to comprehensive conformance testing without needing a completely new setup.
Efficiency Boost: Reduced Testing Times
The simplified configuration of the ME7873NR Lite Model results in a reduction of testing times by approximately 20% compared to the full model, which relies on multiple measuring instruments. This efficiency gain not only speeds up the testing process but also enhances overall productivity.
Support for Comprehensive Testing and Device Verification
The automation capabilities of the ME7873NR Lite Model extend beyond conformance testing. It supports repetitive testing processes, such as regression testing, which are crucial for thorough device verification. By automating these processes, the system contributes to more reliable and consistent testing outcomes.
Anritsu’s latest advancements in testing technology reflect a commitment to improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of 5G device testing. With the ME7873NR Lite Model, the future of 5G conformance testing is not only more streamlined but also more accessible for a broader range of applications and budgets.
