OEMs providing RUs for Open RAN infrastructure adopting the Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform can now use the SMW200A and SMM100A vector signal generators and FSW and FPS signal and spectrum analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz for testing.
Deploying 5G networks with infrastructure that meets modern demands comes with major challenges, as achieving the right balance between high capacity, low latency and cost efficiency becomes increasingly difficult. The Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform is a comprehensive modem-RF solution that aims to address these challenges, helping operators and OEMs enable flexible network deployments by delivering O-RAN-compliant 5G solutions. The platform features support ranging from mmWave to sub-6 GHz Massive MIMO with 64T64R capabilities to 4T4R Remote Radio Heads (RRH) to enhance coverage, improve cell-edge data speeds, as well as increase the overall network capacity. It is designed to enhance speed in the rollout of 5G networks with highperformance O-RAN compliant infrastructure products.
