Site acceptance is by no means trivial, so well-defined test procedures and proper test tools should be used to create reliable and efficient results. After a 5G site is installed, fundamental cell site performance must be secured, all parameters must be inside a specified range and additional 5G capacity needs to be advertised in the related LTE anchor cells. Enter the R&S 5G Site Testing Solution (5G STS).

As soon as the operating bands are selected, it instantly detects the 5G and LTE signals on air and delivers detailed information about each of them: signal quality, power level, beam analysis, MIB and SIB content, spectrum and waterfall displays. 5G NR sites can thus be thoroughly tested.

The 5G STS is an important tool for verifying NSA 5G sites by simultaneously measuring 5G and LTE. In combination with the QualiPoc Android, functional tests such as voice, data and video streaming make it possible to verify the service availability of the site.
