The path to 5G adoption is complex, with new opportunities and challenges abounding for mobile network operators, infrastructure providers, device manufacturers and end-users. Experts agree that 2019 will be the first year in which 5G technology sees material deployment.
According to IHS Markit’s Evolution from 4G to 5G: Service Provider Survey, 82 percent of mobile operators are busy with trials and testing of 5G technology.
The MLT2000 line enables R&D, interoperability, conformance, validation and production test teams to prepare 5G NR deployments in lockstep with 3GPP 5G standardisation releases.
Product demonstrations at MWC will showcase multi-wireless testing with partner Octoscope, a provider of wireless personal testbeds for over-the- air (OTA) testing.
Dinesh Doshi, president of W2BI, said, “Our network simulation software gives operators as well as device vendors the ability to verify device readiness, performance and functions in a fully automated mode within a lab environment. To meet demanding 5Grequirements, service operators require the most advanced test products to validate and certify devices, and W2BI is a proven leader in thisfield.”
