In order to realize industry 4.0 use cases such as mobile robots or automated guided vehicles, industrial network deployments must guarantee very high availability, reliability, and in many cases low latency communications. 5G NR technology including its latest enhancements specified in 3GPP Release 16 enables ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC), ideal for private campus network deployments. However, as with any wireless system, the communication link is subject to potential interference on the deployed spectrum bands.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced that the company's M8040A 64 Gbaud High-performance bit error ratio tester (BERT) was approved by the PCI-SIG as a compliance test measuring instrument for PCI Express 4.0 (PCIe Gen4) testing at 16 gigatransfers per second (GT/s) and 8GT/s. Keysight is the only test vendor with two BERT systems approved by the PCI-SIG for testing PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0 technologies.

Anritsu Corporation is pleased to announce the simultaneous launch of its TRX Test Module MU887002A, designed to improve the efficiency of production-line inspection of wireless communications devices, including 5G, and its space-saving Universal Wireless Test Set MT8872A.

Rohde & Schwarz has announced details of an upcoming Oscilloscope Days seminar event for 2021, a valuable opportunity for electrical engineers to learn the essentials of oscilloscopes by joining virtual hands-on sessions that relate to real world design challenges. The free to attend live training webcast will take place on May 18 and 19, 2021.

Keysight's new FieldFox microwave analyzer supports an extended frequency range with measurement integrity comparable to lab-based tools.

Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation announces that it has developed the IS8000 integrated measurement software platform for the control of and the collection of data and generation of reports from multiple measuring instruments.

Anritsu Company introduces the RF Regulatory Test System ME7803NR solution for regulatory compliance testing of 5G systems. Integrating the Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A with other hardware and dedicated software, the ME7803NR is a cost-efficient, easy-to-use single solution to conduct ARIB/ETSI/FCC-compliant frequency range (FR) 1 RF tests on 5G New Radio (NR) UE.

Rohde & Schwarz, a global leader in broadcast media technologies has announced the introduction of a new member of its SpycerNode media storage family. Completely Ethernet based, the R&S®SpycerNode SC targets the storage requirements of both broadcast and post production workflows. SpycerNode SC is designed to fulfil the requirements of modern post production teams, where performance is a higher priority than redundancy, but reliability, compact design and affordability are key requirements.

RIGOL Technologies announces an expansion of its UltraVision II technology platform with the introduction of the DS8000-R Rack-Mount Digital Oscilloscope. This new oscilloscope provides up to 2 GHz Bandwidth and the same jitter and real-time eye analysis, power analysis, and serial decode as RIGOL’s proven MSO8000 Series oscilloscope. The space saving DS8000-R oscilloscope is designed for instrument synchronization for small to large system configurations.

Tektronix, Inc. launched a new global survey designed to provide greater insight into the technologies, challenges and opportunities faced by professional test and measurement engineers. The survey will investigate what engineers want and need from test and measurement manufacturers, how engineers interact with test and measurement software and the pain points facing test engineers across a range of industries.
