Bureau Veritas Cooperation Agreement with Anritsu for 5G NR GCF/PTCRB RF Conformance Tests

Jul. 16 2019

16 July, 2019 – 5G is heading towards a new generation of cellular network. Bureau Veritas is now synergizing with Anritsu to assist the Taiwanese communications network industry to master the new development of 5G system verification and testing technology! Bureau Veritas has partnered with Anritsu for 5G NR GCF and PTCRB conformance testing using Anritsu’s New Radio RF Conformance Test System ME7873NR.

Bureau Veritas’ Electrical & Electronics/Wireless laboratory in Taiwan operates professionally proved by mobile terminal certification organizations such as GCF and PTCRB. By adopting the new ME7873NR 5G NR RF/RRM test system, Bureau Veritas is cooperating with Anritsu in obtaining GCF and PTCRB conformance test certifications (test platform validation).

The ME7873NR is a RF/RRM test platform for 5G NR currently under development and supports RF/RRM conformance and carrier acceptance inspection tests. It is registered with GCF and PTCRB as the 5G NR test platform TP250 and is designed for certification of mobile terminals using 3GPP-compliant 5G RF/RRM tests and will also be used for PTCRB certifications.

Product Outline

The New Radio RF Conformance Test System ME7873NR is an automated system for 3GPP TS38.521/TS38.533-defined 5G NR RF/RRM tests. It supports both planned 5G NR SA and NSA modes, while combination with Anritsu’s CATR Anechoic Chamber MA8172A covers all 5G frequency bands, including sub-6 GHz and mmWave. A flexible system configuration allows customers to customize the ME7873NR for specific measurement conditions. An easy 5G upgrade path from the LTE-Advanced RF Conformance Test System ME7873LA is available to create a cost-effective RF test system that meets emerging required test conditions.
