6G Test Platform for Early 6G Standardization and Validation
Anritsu’s Virtual Signalling Tester is a software-based signalling tester for advanced 6G validation. Its Virtual ST-based solution supports L1/Physical layer test, and protocol test/Application test, capable of testing at the MAC layer, DIQ and RF Interface (with SDR). It’s equipped with an arbitrary waveform output function which is being considered for 6G, making it highly useful for early validation during the 6G standardization phase.
Pioneering 6G Measurement and AI-Driven Test Solution
Anritsu demonstrates a groundbreaking 6G measurement solution, designed to redefine wireless testing with AI at the core of the workflow. This next-generation solution harnesses advanced data management and AI-powered analytics to simplify complex test processes, reduce engineering workload, and accelerate development cycles. AI-assisted test sequence generation improves accuracy, optimizes resource usage, and accelerates development cycles by learning from historical test patterns and real-world performance data. This intelligent approach ensures customers can meet the rapidly evolving demands of 6G technology, digital automation, and scalable network intelligence.
Unified 6G Multiband and NTN Validation Platform
The MT8000A Radio Communication Test Station now integrates support for the Upper Mid-Band (up to 16 GHz), enabling comprehensive RF front-end testing across FR1, FR2, and FR3 bands within a single modular platform. This unified architecture streamlines validation workflows for 6G devices, allowing simultaneous multi-band characterization, inter-band handover testing, and advanced signal integrity analysis. In addition, the platform introduces next-generation NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) measurement capabilities including Direct-to-Cell and NR-NTN protocols delivered as a software upgrade. Engineers can leverage real-time emulation of satellite and aerial link conditions, protocol stack verification, and seamless integration with existing test automation environments. These enhancements empower engineers to efficiently validate NTN features, optimize RF performance, and maintain a competitive edge as wireless technologies evolve toward 6G.
Reproducing Real Networks: FST for Digital Twin Development
Anritsu demonstrates its unique Field Simulation Test (FST) solution, designed to capture real-world radio environments and accurately reproduce complex network propagation conditions in the laboratory. This innovative approach allows engineers to replicate issues observed in live networks and verify propagation scenarios. Moreover, the collection of propagation data supports the development of Digital Twin environments for research into next-generation wireless technologies, such as ISAC and CSI compression.
Future-Ready Automotive Testing: Cloud-Based Validation for Connected SDV use cases
Anritsu, in collaboration with Valeo, is demonstrating a Virtualized Automotive Testing Solution designed to accelerate Software development and reduce testing costs for connected and autonomous vehicles. By integrating Anritsu’s virtual connectivity solution for 5G and C-V2X connectivity with Valeo’s virtualized hardware and ECU simulation platform, this joint solution enables comprehensive validation of Connected SDV functions, eliminating the need for physical vehicles or test tracks. The approach delivers faster time-to-market, improved safety, and global scalability through cloud integration, transforming automotive testing into a cost-effective, future-ready process.
Power Consumption Testing for Smarter, Sustainable IoT Devices
As industries accelerate toward smarter, more connected solutions, the demand for low-power, sustainable devices is reshaping the landscape of IoT technology. Anritsu introduces a cutting-edge power consumption test environment, empowering engineers to evaluate sensors, wearables, and smart home systems under real-world operating conditions. This real world approach provides actionable insights into energy usage, battery life, and optimization potential, enabling precise measurement and analysis that drive smarter design choices and longer-lasting products. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of the Anritsu MT8000A platform, Qoitech’s Otii power measurement suite, and SmartViser’s expertise in intelligent test automation and orchestration, this solution sets a new benchmark for energy efficiency in IoT device development.
