Keysight Technologies announced that vivo has expanded the use of Keysight's 5G device test solutions to accelerate verification of designs that support 5G new radio (NR) 3GPP Release 16 (Rel-16) features. Keysight's Protocol R&D Toolset, based on the company's UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform, offers vivo an environment to develop and execute tests essential in verifying 5G NR and Long Term Evolution (LTE) signaling protocols.

Keysight's 5G platforms provide users with end-to-end repeatable performance test capabilities in a laboratory environment. In early 2021, vivo selected Keysight's PROPSIM channel emulation solutions to perform multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) over-the-air (OTA) testing under a diverse range of real-world mobility scenarios, including rural, city and indoor.
