Toolset paves way for connected mobile ecosystem

Quectel selected Keysight's 5G RF DVT Toolset over the incumbent supplier to support its strategic goal of providing a connected mobile ecosystem with commercial 5G modules. Keysight's RF DVT Toolset enables Quectel to validate protocol and radio frequency (RF) performance of new designs in both sub-6GHz (FR1) and mmWave (FR2) frequency bands.

"Mobile ecosystems around the world rely on Keysight's connected 5G workflow solutions to accelerate device development and commercialisation from early design to mobile operator acceptance and manufacturing," said Peng Cao, senior director of Keysight's Commercial Communications Group. "Our collaboration with Quectel underscores the value leading industry players recognise in working with a proven supplier of 5G test solutions that support global deployments in all major 3GPP frequency bands."

Quectel's latest 5G modules (RG500Q, RM500Q, RG510Q and RM510Q) are compliant with 3GPP Release 15 specifications and capable of both 5G standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) modes.  These modules feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G modem.

"Our collaboration with Keysight enables us to leverage the same tools that leading chipset manufacturers and mobile operators use to validate new 5G NR products," said Leo Yao, 5G Product Director at Quectel. "As a result, we can achieve our 5G go-to-market goals and help build a smarter world."
