This year’s Mobile Test Summit occurred from November 28 to November 29, 2023. Wireless communications professionals came to the Rohde & Schwarz headquarters in Munich for two days of insights into the latest developments in mobile device and infrastructure testing. The event explored a wide range of topics, with a focus on the next wave of 5G and early 6G: non-terrestrial networks (NTN), reduced capability (RedCap), mission-critical communications (MCx), terahertz (THz), spectrum for 6G, metaverse and XR. Other important topics were the latest advancements in broadband technologies (such as Wi-Fi 7), Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN), advanced multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and beamforming.
For those interested in these topics but unable to join in person, Rohde & Schwarz offers on-demand recordings of all the presentations. The international speaker line-up includes leading IoT companies, O-RAN suppliers, chip manufacturers and satellite communications service providers:
