Keysight helps system designers achieve 5G goals
Iskratel recently announced it will demonstrate its virtual IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) solution at MobileWorld Congress, following the success of a pilot project with Russia’s major Tier-1 operator. As part of its project of core-network transformation Iskratel’s vIMS solution, with a geo-redundant setup of vIMS core in geographically separate locations. In addition to the ability to provide services to SIP-based customers, the solution also allowed the interconnection to vIMS, the operator successfully deployed Iskratel successful in virtual IMS pilot testing
of customers on legacy equipment, including analogue, time-division multiplexing (TDM) and next- generation network. Following completion of the first parts of the pilot phase at the end of 2016, the solution revenue streams through the provision of cloud services and infrastructure, as well as streamline its operations, reducing OPEX and CAPEX. Iskratel’s CSP is the only architecture of its kind which guarantees high availability and geo-redundancy of cloud services and apps on an open, ETSI NFV-compliant architecture. It features orchestrator-driven process automation and predictive auto-scalability, ensuring the lowest total cost of ownership as operators migrate their architectures to the cloud. Iskratel’s CSP uses mature, OPNFV-approved open source technology, enriched with Iskratel’s own extensions that provide high availability and low-latency operation. will enable the operator to generate additional
Keysight Technologies says its pre-5G modulation analysis option, available in the latest 89600 VSA software release, will include standards- compliant 5G new radio (NR) measurements upon the 3GPP 5G NR standard’s release. With this functionality, the 89600 VSA software is enabling component, module and system designers to be first-to-market with the upcoming 3GPP 5G NR standard. Pre-5G is a 5G radio specification published by Verizon Wireless, in cooperation with partner companies. The specification targets fixed wireless access at 28-GHz frequencies for initial trials and deployments. Keysight’s 89600 VSA provides comprehensive time, frequency, and modulation domain analysis for pre-5G signals based on
this specification. The software allows designers to configure result traces and pre-5G specific modulation quality metrics and traces for quick and easy identification of signal characteristics. The software also helps designers troubleshoot intermittent error peaks and repeated synchronization failures. 3GPP 5G NR is the emerging global 5G standard. The specification is expected to be included in Release 15 of the 3GPP standard. “With our latest software release, we have accomplished that goal, giving designers the functionality they need to work with the draft specification today to be first-to-market with 5G”said Charles Plott, marketing and planning manager of Keysight Technologies’ design engineer software organization.
