Rohde & Schwarz and LITEON are teaming up to demo a slick, production-ready test setup for high-volume 5G femtocell testing at MWC Barcelona 2026. They’ll showcase the powerful R&S PVT360A vector performance tester handling four LITEON FlexFi 5G femtocells at once, proving how this compact platform adapts seamlessly to real-world production lines.
The PVT360A packs a ton of punch into a small footprint, making it ideal for non-signaling 5G NR FR1 and LTE small cell tests during design verification and manufacturing.
LITEON chose it for their new FlexFi femtocell lines, and it’s already sped up testing by 50%. At MWC, expect a live look at a single PVT360A characterizing four devices simultaneously.
This all-in-one vector signal generator and analyzer works hand-in-glove with R&S VSE software for spot-on timing checks and full 5G NR signal analysis, up/downlink alike. Its clever 2×8 port setup and Smart Channel tech dynamically allocate resources to crank up throughput, you can test more devices faster without breaking a sweat.
It goes further too, tackling advanced stuff like multi-carrier scenarios and precise MIMO measurements with optional dual generators and analyzers. That’s why it’s a game-changer for scaling 5G production while keeping performance top-notch.
For LITEON, integrating the PVT360A has been a win, fully automated calibration and verification for their femtocells, with one unit testing four at a time thanks to that Smart Channel magic.
The result showcased a straight 50% testing speed boost, higher throughput, and rock-solid product quality.
Leadership Comments
Richard Chiang, General Manager of LITEON Smart Life Application SBU, said: “To enhance our manufacturing excellence, we are embarking on a long-term partnership with Rohde & Schwarz. By adopting their PVT360A platform, we aim to achieve higher levels of automation and precision in our testing processes, ensuring that our products consistently meet the highest market standards.”
Goce Talaganov, Vice President Mobile Radio Testers at Rohde & Schwarz, said: “We are proud to support LITEON in advancing its smart manufacturing strategy with our PVT360A platform. Their ability to achieve higher throughput and consistent quality demonstrates how our scalable multiport architecture and smart channel technology can transform production efficiency. We look forward to deepening our collaboration and enabling even greater innovation in 5G small cell manufacturing.”
Visitors to MWC Barcelona 2026 can experience the joint demo of high?throughput 5G femtocell testing at the Rohde & Schwarz booth 5A80 in hall 5 from March 2 to 5, 2026.
