Pod 3: 5G Industry Verticals Test Bed
Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A
Network Master Pro (Ethernet/CPRI/OTDR Test Equipment) MT1000A
New industry verticals will be a key part of 5G future growth, with many new markets and applications being addressed by Release 16 features. Anritsu’s MT8000A network simulator test bed provides a platform to evaluate device and application performance (e.g. throughput, latency, signaling) using MEC, URLLC, 5G RAN with Network Slicing emulation and flexible user configurations. The Anritsu Network Master™ Pro MT1000A is another measurement solution for 5G field testing of timing/latency and PTP which is critical in some URLLC use cases.
