Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced a joint demonstration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, achieving download speeds upwards of 4Gbps with Keysight’s 5G Protocol R&D Toolset and a 5G mobile test device powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X50 5G modem chipset.

Keysight achieved these multi-gigabit speeds by aggregating eight 100MHz carriers in the 28GHz mmWave radio spectrum.

The 5G Protocol R&D Toolset forms part of Keysight’s Network Emulation Solutions portfolio, and together with the 5G RF DVT Toolset is enabling the development and test of 5G while keeping up with the evolving standards. Keysight provides the only solutions that address the entire device development workflow while scaling from sub-6 GHz to mmWave, enabling users to verify advanced 5G features such as beamforming across the global spectrum requirements.
