This solution also provides a framework for benchmarking performance and gaining insights into energy consumption across various O-RAN traffic models and AI / ML service usage profiles.

This demo features the Atlas Test Management Center, a new automation platform for all device acceptance testing. The platform leverages AI to optimize execution time through smart reordering, delegate preparation tasks to the tool, and predict and manage trade-offs under time constraints. Additionally, we highlight Keysight’s industry collaboration to develop and test AI / ML (machine learning) algorithms on the modem “in the device.”

This demo presents a novel receiver with an ML-based channel estimator for the uplink data channel. This approach significantly enhances throughput performance, increases system capacity, and reduces RU power consumption. By leveraging AI, it processes wireless channel data across the joint frequency-temporal-spatial domain, applying AI in real-world scenarios.

Connected device security is critical for product go-to-market and regional access, which require certified products. In this demo, we demonstrate how to use Keysight’s embedded security testbench to analyze device cybersecurity defense mechanisms and test hardware attacks that hackers might use to break into products. The demo also illustrates how users can test security vulnerabilities in devices with mixed-signal chips on a PCB development board.

This demo showcases Open RAN Simulator Cloud Edition solutions for Cloud-Native ORAN and Mobile Core. It highlights three key use cases: ​

This demo shows how mobile network operators (MNOs) can prototype dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) scenarios with high fidelity in hardware and software. By using custom channel models from real deployment scenarios, users can accurately predict network throughput. We also show how to use Keysight’s WaveJudge solution to simplify DSS visualization and analytics in both prototype and live networks. This capability is increasingly important as users explore the upper mid-band for FR3.

This demo features Keysight’s portfolio of multi-channel vector signal generator (VSG) offering exceptional phase coherence, precise time base synchronization, and adjustable channel phase and delay. Witness how users can generate MIMO signal streams, capture these signals with a real-time oscilloscope and analyze them using Keysight’s comprehensive signal analysis software.

This demo highlights the new PNA-X Pro as a comprehensive FR3 RF Front End (RFFE) characterization system. The system features up to four internal direct digital synthesis (DDS) sources, facilitating measurements of complex devices such as I / Q modulators, differential amplifiers, and T / R modules. With its two internal combiners and noise receivers, the PNA-X Pro simplifies test setups and DUT re-connections, significantly reducing test time.

In this demo, we show how to use Keysight’s NTN design and modeling tools to create and visualize 3D satellite constellations from a given location on Earth, preview simulated KPIs, and seamlessly load the modeled scenario into Keysight’s UXM 5G network emulator. Our solution offers internal orbit emulation capabilities to test the performance of real NTN-enabled devices.

We show how you can automatically analyze and convert device field logs into lab test cases to recreate the detailed protocol signaling sequences or enable functional and performance testing under the same network conditions. This innovative approach facilitates rapid root cause analysis and re-testing, ensuring the swift resolution of issues in record time.
