01 April 2026 - Keysight Technologies and Samsung Electronics demonstrated an end-to-end Artificial Intelligence Radio Access Network (AI-RAN) testing and validation workflow with NVIDIA. The demonstration shows how Keysight’s AI-RAN solution streamlines the validation of AI-driven RAN modules using the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) channel estimation use case, bringing data generation, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) training, and performance benchmarking into a single automated workflow to accelerate innovation and reduce deployment risk for operators and vendors.
31 March 2026 — Rohde & Schwarz and LITEON collaborate to showcase a production-optimized test setup for high-throughput multi-device testing. The demonstration features the high-performance PVT360A vector performance tester from Rohde & Schwarz characterizing in parallel four new LITEON FlexFi 5G femtocells as devices under test (DUT). Rohde & Schwarz has designed the PVT360A performance vector tester with a minimal footprint for maximum performance. It is a comprehensive solution for non-signaling 5G NR FR1 and LTE small cell testing in the design verification stage and in production. LITEON has selected the test platform for the manufacturing lines of their new FlexFi 5G femtocell, boosting the overall testing speed by 50%.
27 March 2026 – Vector Informatik has released VectorCAST 2026, the latest version of its embedded software test automation platform, introducing an AI-powered Requirements Based Test Creator. The new functionality enables organizations to generate unit tests directly from software requirements, improving traceability, streamlining certification and quality assurance in safety-critical systems.
