ANRITSU "BEYOND TESTING, BEYOND LIMITS, FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE TOGETHER" AT MWC 2023

Anritsu Corporation, a global provider of innovative test and measurement analytics solutions for advanced and converged networks, will be showing advanced solutions supporting the latest 5G standards and network deployments at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 at Barcelona (Hall 5 Stand D41). As a long-term partner in the Telecom Industry for test and analytics solutions, Anritsu is developing innovative new solutions to help accelerate the transformation of new products and services for 5G Industry Verticals.

Technologies and Measurements for Beyond 5G
3GPP has started work on ‘5G-Advanced’ from Release 18, and industry and academia are already evaluating technologies for 6G. Anritsu is participating in multiple projects and consortia to help define and shape future telecoms technologies and related measurement requirements.

Metaverse user experience over 5G with real-world mobility in partnership with InterDigital
Anritsu will showcase the simulation of real network conditions in an ultra-flexible test lab environment, demonstrating smarter 5G UE and network behaviors and a use case that embodies the metaverse’s challenges of uplink bandwidth, latency, and synchronization.

Test Solution for 5G Enabled Automated Valet Parking in partnership with dSPACE
Anritsu and dSPACE GmbH have developed a test and simulation environment for Automated Valet Parking (AVP). This solution features Anritsu MT8000A Radio Communication Test Station and dSPACE VEOS (a PC-based simulation platform), with dSPACE AURELION sensor-realistic simulation providing a 5G network slicing testing environment for Automotive V2X Use Cases.

RIS Measurements with PhaseLync Technology in partnership with Greenerwave
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) is an electronic device, composed of many layers with a surface inlaid with a set of patch antennas, called pixels whose electromagnetic (EM) response could be controlled via a control board. It is proposed in the framework of 5G and Beyond connectivity to steer radio signals between a transmitter and receiver, giving better reception or link quality.

Greenerwave, a French SME founded in 2016, has built the first RIS worldwide using off-the-shelf electronics and PIN diodes. However, measuring the magnitude and phase characteristics of high frequency RISs at various distances and conditions is challenging, as no Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) can separate the two ports of the VNA over longer distances.

Anritsu’s PhaseLyncTM technology distributed VNA system ME7868A can make these measurements over 100 meters, characterizing a RIS surface performance in a real environment.

O-RAN Test Solution for O-RU
Open RAN is driving flexibility and intelligence in mobile network using multi-vendor disaggregated products. Anritsu contributes to build secure mobile network by providing a unique solution for O-RU (O-RAN Radio Unit) testing. The solution improves the test efficiency via test automation and the quality of O-RU by offering test scenarios closer to real network situation.

Field Test – Network Latency Measurements for UR/LLC
High value services on 5G and future 6G mobile networks will require very low latency. Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) is key for applications such as autonomous vehicles, medical, Multiple Access Edge Computing (MEC), and Metaverse technology.

Anritsu MT1000A Network Master Pro, a portable easy to use test solution with 10GE, 25GE and 100GE interfaces, helps simulate mobile car connectivity. This allows accurate analysis and mapping of the distribution of latency values, throughput, and jitter values and ensures required network performance for URLLC and end-to-end quality of service.

Complete toolbox for 5G base station field engineers
Anritsu’s Field Master Spectrum Analyzer family offers best-in-class performance for current and future testing needs in a wide range of commercial, private, and government use cases.

Field Master MS2080A, the latest addition to the Field Master Family, integrates all the tools required to install and maintain the radio performance of standalone and non-standalone 5G networks.

Anritsu Service Assurance - Beyond Automated Assurance
Anritsu Service Assurance gives operators real-time insight into subscribers' experiences, allowing them to fix network issues without delay. As a result, operations teams run more efficiently and with complete visibility across all technologies and services. For 5G Private Networks for large enterprises, assurance systems allow in-depth insights into device experience or mobility.
