A 5G test solution that enables both the network and the device ecosystems to emulate end-to-end use cases to meet interoperability requirements and gain insights into overall system behaviour will be showcased by W2BI, an Advantest Group company at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (February 26 - March 1).

W2BI will highlight hands-on demonstrations of its test automation systems, including the first public debut of its 5G mmWave test system, which emulates both the 5G network and the device under test, helping to accelerate the R&D and time-to-market of 5G devices and modems.

W2BI’s new software-centric, end-to-end test system that has both the scalability and flexibility to rapidly adapt in the fast-evolving 5G environment.

The system integrates radio software layers, including packet core network and test automation management, with a physical layer mmWave transceiver system software-defined radio (SDR) to perform end-to-end, over-the-air 5G tests.

The 5G mmWave test system gives operators as well as network and device vendors the ability to perform lab-environment verification of system interoperability, performance and functions, in a fully automated mode. W2BI recently delivered the initial phase of its 5G test system to a major mobile operator.
