The Virtual Signalling Tester NR Software MX844030PC, a software-based test simulator for creating 5G IoT chipsets and devices, will be released by Anritsu Corporation. Using a Software Defined Radio (SDR) that performs the majority of traditional radio capabilities in software and a novel simulator that runs in a virtual environment on a PC with an advanced architecture, the solution facilitates 5G IoT testing.
Several tests, such as DUT (Device Under Test) fault detection, performance evaluation, current consumption, device interoperability, and shipment inspection/security testing, are streamlined by 5G network simulation in a virtual environment.
Through the use of its virtualization simulator technology, Anritsu will contribute to quality assurance and development efficiency across a range of domains. The company plans to further expand this service beyond 5G and 6G.
From March 3 to March 6, 2025, in Barcelona, Spain, the solution will be on display at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2025 Anritsu exhibit (exhibit location: Stand D41, Hall 5).
Development Background
The market for software-based virtualization testing has expanded quickly in recent years, and there is a need for solutions that make use of virtualization simulators’ benefits, such as lower costs, more effective testing, and lower risk, with an emphasis on developing adaptable scenarios.
Without the need for traditional dedicated development testers, testing on a PC environment allows for faster feedback, shorter test cycles, and lower hardware and operational expenses.
Furthermore, because it is simple to adapt to development requirements, different test environments with circumstances close to real operation settings can be built easily.
Product Outline
Virtual Signalling Tester NR Software MX844030PC
5G testing is supported by the MX844030PC software platform. In the 5G sub-6 GHz band*2, it supports RedCap*1 tests and has 5G virtual network functionality. Effective device verification and analysis using Report/Log features, as well as simple parameter and test method modifications from sample scenarios, are made possible by the user-friendly RTD Lite*3 GUI (Graphical User Interface).
Technical Terms
*1 RedCap Test 5G radio specification for IoT devices that aims to cut costs and power consumption by limiting 5G SA performance and supported functions. It is used for IoT devices, such as industrial sensors, surveillance cameras, and wearables.
*2 Sub-6 GHz band Frequency bands below 6 GHz among frequency bands being considered for use by fifth-generation mobile communication systems (5G NR).
*3 RTD Lite Test platform providing proprietary script-based test environment for quick and easy creation of test scenarios for latest DUTs.
