Product Information

SP9500 Communication Test Set (CTS) is the world first testing platform that fully meets the requirements of 100MHz channel bandwidth (for Sub-6GHz band), carrier aggregation, SUL, downlink 8-stream / uplink 4-stream MIMO and other characteristics defined in 3GPP R15 version. It can be used as a full functional 5G base station emulation with all wireless test set  such a functional, performance and RF characteristic platform. By cascading multiple test instrument, 9500-CTS can fulfill larger scale MIMO and carrier aggregation for future technology evolution.

The SP9500-CTS encompasses a comprehensive 5G protocol stack, enabling the simulation of end-to-end communication between 5G base stations and terminals. This functionality is instrumental in validating the corresponding signaling functions. Additionally, the SP9500-CTS offers comprehensive testing and measurement capabilities for terminal radio frequency characteristics defined by the 3GPP TS38.508-1, TS38.521-1, TS38.521-3, and TS38.521-4 protocols. These characteristics encompass transmission power, spectrum characteristics, modulation performance, receiving power, Demoulation performance, and more.

The SP9500-CTS fully aligns with the characteristic requirements of 100M channel bandwidth, carrier aggregation, downstream 8 stream/upstream 4 stream MIMO as defined in the 5G R15 and R16 versions. Furthermore, its multi-table cascade functionality supports larger-scale MIMO and carrier aggregation, ensuring its adaptability to future technological advancements.

The SP9500-CTS serves as a core test instrument and vector signal source, enabling the construction of a terminal radio frequency consistency test system. It also functions as a system simulator, facilitating the development of protocol consistency and wireless resource management consistency test systems. This versatility ensures its comprehensive support for 5G modem chipset providers, 5G module manufacturers, antenna manufacturers, and network equipment systems.

Redcap

Test Redcap Devices with SP9500-CTS 

RedCap, an acronym for Reduced Capability 5G NR devices, was approved by 3GPP in Release 17 to facilitate the integration of 5G technology with Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This reduced 5G NR capability enables lower development and manufacturing costs. IoT applications often involve low-cost devices, including wearables, industrial sensors, smart homes and cities, as well as security and surveillance systems. Discover how our Wireless Network Emulation Solutions can help minimize costs while conducting functional and RF tests on RedCap devices.
