Keysight joins alliance to advance 5G technology

Electronic measurement company Keysight Technologies has joined the Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) Alliance. The alliance will drive and guide the development of all future mobile broadband technology enhancements with a focus on 5G.

Design, simulation and test and measurement tools are crucial for the successful development and deployment of 5G mobile systems in order to economically meet end-user expectations. Mobile operators and equipment manufacturers will face new challenges to support a complex ecosystem of connected devices and mobile broadband services. As a member of the alliance, Keysight will work with other companies and institutions to ensure they have the tools they need to deliver the next generation of 5G products and services.

“We are extremely happy that an industry leader like Keysight has joined the group of NGMN partners,” said Peter Meissner, CEO of the NGMN Alliance. “We are looking forward to having Keysight’s experts contributing to our newly launched 5G activities, in particular in the area of 5G trial and testing and end-to-end architecture.”

“We are privileged to be part of the NGMN Alliance,” said Roger Nichols, Keysight Technologies 5G program manager. “We believe that combining our expertise as the world’s largest electronic test and measurement company with NGMN’s unique influential role and perspective will further clarify the definition and standardisation of 5G end-to-end testing requirements.”
