Joint Demonstration of Anritsu 5G Tester with TCL Communication 5G USB Device at MWC2019

ALLEN, Texas, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu today announced it will jointly demonstrate its MT8000A 5G tester with TCL Communication's first 5G USB device at Mobile World Congress 2019.

The TCL Communication 5G USB device is a high-speed internet access point supporting 3GPP Rel. 15 with 2-Gbps downlink and 1-Gbps uplink data rates, providing consumers with a convenient link for cloud office applications and games. It supports global access for both Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) modes in the 5G Sub-6 GHz bands. The 5G SA mode helps simplify device design and efficiency, substantially cutting costs while improving throughput performance at the cell edge. Moreover, a large 4000-mAh battery supports long operation.

TCL Communication works closely with global chipset makers and operators, stepping up the pace of 5G device development to help bring high-quality 5G devices to market faster and assure stable, new, intelligent 5G services.

The SA mode's advantages of simplification and improved efficiency help cut costs while raising throughput performance at the network edge. The global launch of SA-mode devices is expected in 2019.

Anritsu's MT8000A test platform for 5G supports the latest technologies, such as wideband signal processing and beamforming, required by ultrafast and large-capacity 5G communications. The all-in-one platform supports Sub-6 GHz and mmWave RF tests, as well as protocol tests and marks an industry first in supporting the 5G NR SA mode.

"Anritsu's 5G tester has helped us exhibit our latest 5G implementation sufficiently and has been an important partner to launch our 5G USB device," said Charles Zou, General Manager of Global R&D Center, TCL Communication. "TCL Communication will continue to explore 5G technology and accelerate the popularization of 5G terminals worldwide with cost-effective products."

"Anritsu is delighted that this joint collaboration with TCL Communication shows how Anritsu delivers leading technologies helping 5G mobile-device manufacturers," said Yoshiyuki Amano, Anritsu's Vice President.
