InterDigital, a mobile and video technology R&D company, announced an agreement with Anritsu to collaborate on execution of joint demonstrations.
InterDigital and Anritsu’s first joint demonstration, titled “5G Industry Verticals Test Bed”, provides a platform to evaluate device and application performance like throughput, latency, and signaling using an end-to-end 5G test bed operating in standalone (SA) mode and integrated with mobile edge computing (MEC).
InterDigital contributed an immersive 360-degree media streaming service that leverages InterDigital’s 5G-CORAL mobile edge computing platform, which has been integrated with the Anritsu MT8000A 5G Network Simulator platform. The demonstration also includes MT10000A measurement equipment to test 5G timing and latency, which is critical in many Industry 4.0 use cases. The demonstration, initially scheduled for the now-cancelled Mobile World Congress, has been virtually presented on the Anritsu website, here.
InterDigital and Anritsu have outlined several additional areas of engagement for their collaboration. The companies have agreed to work together to integrate InterDigital’s demonstration of Hybrid Network Slicing with Anritsu’s 5G Network Simulator platform, and are preparing a joint showcase of their integrated vertical applied to a tele-operated driving (TOD) use case.
Dr Alain Mourad, Director Engineering R&D, InterDigital
Over the next 12 months, we will be extending our collaboration with Anritsu to showcase InterDigital’s beyond 5G hybrid network slicing technology for Industry 4.0 use cases.
Jonathan Borrill, Head of Global Market Technology, Anritsu
We are excited to extend this work, and bring to the industry further testing expertise and knowledge for the more advanced use cases of 5G in network slicing and Industry 4.0.
