DEKRA picks Keysight to verify 5G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices
Keysight Technologies has announced that DEKRA, a global test organization, has selected 5G and internet of things (IoT) test systems from Keysight to expand 5G new radio (NR), Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 device regulatory compliance services.
RF regulatory testing, mandated by country-specific organizations, ensure that cellular devices do not exceed certain RF power levels, maintaining end-user safety. These organizations also set standards for transmission levels of non-cellular unlicensed wireless equipment such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios. DEKRA decided to expand its use of Keysight’s test systems to address rapidly growing global 5G and IoT regulatory compliance markets.
“Keysight’s 5G RF device regulatory compliance test systems enable DEKRA to deliver commercially successful 5G devices in nearly twenty different form factors, including wireless devices for the automotive sector,” said Muthu Kumaran, senior director of Keysight’s wireless test business.
DEKRA selected the RF/RRM DVT and Conformance Toolset, RF Automation Toolset and Wireless IoT Regulatory Test Solution from Keysight to address requirements mandated by regulatory bodies including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S., ETSI for Radio Equipment Directive (RED) CE marking in Europe and the Telecom Engineering Center (TELEC) in Japan. The majority of DEKRA’s compliance testing focuses on sub-7-GHz (frequency range 1) spectrum, supported by nearly ninety percent of commercial 5G devices.
“DEKRA’s extended use of Keysight’s 5G and IoT device test systems helps us cost-effectively offer a wide range of 5G device conformance validation and regulatory compliance services,” said Derek Feng, general manager at DEKRA Suzhou Lab Hub. “We benefit from the 5G, IoT and C-V2X test provided by Keysight to certify products and systems that will improve safety in human interaction with technology, including vehicles.”
Keysight’s 5G device test systems use common hardware and software platforms to deliver a comprehensive set of test cases in both FR1 and FR2 (mmWave) spectrum. DEKRA can address test requirements specific to 5G NR, in both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) mode, as well as 4G LTE within a single solution. Test houses and IoT vendors also benefit from Keysight’s wider range of IoT solutions, which spans across connectivity, continuity, compliance, coexistence and cybersecurity.
