RanLOS and Anritsu Introduces Innovative 5G Vehicle OTA Test Solution
RanLOS, TOYO Corporation (TOYO), AeroGT Labs, and Anritsu have announced the availability of the first 5G antenna over-the-air (OTA) measurement system engineered with RanLOS’ OTA test solution and Anritsu’s 5G Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A. The new system represents a significant step forward in enabling advancements in 5G connected vehicles.
RanLOS and Anritsu collaborated to meet this need by integrating a portable antenna test system with a wide dynamic range base station simulation. The combined solution supports the measurement of throughput and antenna radiation patterns under static conditions and the evaluation of throughput degradation in vehicles operating on a dynamometer. It is well-suited for assessing the performance of antennas on transportation vehicles such as automobiles, vans, minibuses, and autonomous transport systems. What sets the solution apart is its distinctive capability to be seamlessly integrated into pre-existing EMC chambers, providing manufacturers with an opportunity to establish an essential testing environment while keeping the initial investment to a minimum.
Yoshimichi Imaizumi, Director, Senior VP at TOYO said, In this context, the solution created by integrating Anritsu and RanLOS products offers a simple and intelligent way to evaluate the 5G on-vehicle wireless communications and minimize initial investment. By promoting this sophisticated yet cost-effective solution to the mobility industry, we contribute to the building of a safer and more trusted traffic network.”
Steve Wong, Chief Marketing Officer at AeroGT Labs said, “As transportation vehicles advance further toward an all-interconnected future, holistically evaluating and gauging 5G antenna performance in connected vehicles becomes more than a benchmarking and testing effort. This critical process lays the foundation for a transportation future characterized by elevated safety and enhanced efficiency.”
Takeshi Shima, Director, Senior Vice President, Test & Measurement Company President at Anritsu said, “By integrating the Anritsu MT8000A 5G network simulator with the RanLOS system, we offer the automobile test marketplace an advanced solution with technologically and cost-effective benefits. With the constant and rapid progress in autonomous services, in-vehicle antenna performance significantly matters. The solution ultimately equates to an improved user experience, which benefits the evolution of widely spreading smart society. We are thrilled to promote it globally, collaborating with TOYO and AeroGT Labs.”
