Anritsu Corporation is pleased to announce that the PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board) Validation group (PVG) has agreed the highest number of 5G New Radio (NR) Protocol Conformance tests on the 5G NR Mobile Device Test Platform ME7834NR at their PVG#89 meeting in May, and these were subsequently approved in the PTCRB#104 meeting in June.

Anritsu validations included tests for Non-Standalone (NSA) mode, Standalone (SA) mode, and frequency bands covering Time Division Duplex (TDD), and Frequency Division Duplex (FDD). As a result, the Anritsu ME7834NR continues to maintain its position as the leading Protocol Conformance Test Platform, providing the best test coverage in the industry enabling chipset suppliers, device manufacturers, and test houses to accelerate the certification, and introduction of new 5G devices and services.

The conformance tests are defined by 3GPP in TS 38.523, and have been validated on multiple Sub-6 GHz Frequency Range 1 (FR1), and millimeter wave (mmWave) Frequency Range 2 (FR2) frequency bands.
