The R&S®CMW500 broadband radio communications tester is a versatile test platform for RF integration and protocol development. The tester is available as the R&S®CMW500 Connectivity Platform and the R&S®CMW500 Protocol Tester. the R&S®CMW500 includes a fully integrated end-to-end data solution that supports comprehensive IP throughput and quality measurements. the tester has a built-in fading simulator that makes it easy to perform tests under real-world propagation conditions. With a built-in fading simulator, these testers make it easy to perform tests under real-world propagation conditions, and the R&S®CMW500 can be used at all stages of product development, production, and maintenance. The solution supports a wide range of technologies.
5G development
5G NR sub-6 GHz network simulation
Fifth-generation (5G) mobile communications will support hybrid operation with LTE in non-standalone (NSA) mode, which will dominate globally in the first few years. The proven R&S®CMW500 supports 5G NSA testing when combined with the R&S®CMX500 Radiocommunication Tester.
Wireless Connectivity
Comprehensive network simulation
Bluetooth and WLAN are indispensable for modern communications. Modern smartphones will continue to send most of their data using both technologies, and the R&S®CMW500 supports a wide range of Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy tests, including all the required Bluetooth SIG RF signalling tests. For WLAN, the R&S®CMW500 supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax signalling tests.
