Keysight supports verification of open RAN radio units
Summary
By separating software from hardware through open interfaces and virtualisation, Open RAN network architectures offer mobile operators increased flexibility and agility while reducing costs and enhancing security. The platform supports 5G massive MIMO deployments in the sub-6GHz and millimetre wave frequency ranges. With this validation, Keysight provides vendors designing devices powered by the Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform with a virtual instrument systems architecture (VISA) software library for efficient communication between the device under test (DUT) and the test instrument across any input/output (I/O) software layer. Keysight solutions used by Qualcomm Technologies to validate the performance of new chipset designs based on the Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform include: Keysights comprehensive portfolio of Qualcomm Development Acceleration Resource Toolkit-validated instruments and software improves product debugging efficiency and accelerates the time-to-market of new devices. Chih Kai Wu, Wireless Solution Director, Keysight Wireless Test Group, said: "We are proud to offer Qualcomm Development Acceleration Resource Toolkit-validated solutions for Open RAN Radio Units based on the Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform.
