Keysight offers a software-focused portfolio of private 5G network lifecycle management solutions
Keysight Technologies and system integrator Future Technologies Venture are collaborating to boost the adoption of private 5G network across the U.S.
The companies aim to offer solutions encompassing the design, deployment, delivery, and operations of dedicated private 5G networks.
Under the partnership, Future Technologies will use Keysight solutions to capture opportunities associated with a growing need for scalable solutions for network design, deployment, monitoring, quality of experience (QoE) assessment, optimization and QoE assurance.
“We believe that this will accelerate 5G adoption and create value for our Fortune 5000 clients, DoD clients, carrier, GSI, and prime contracting go-to-market partners across all the vertical markets we service,” said Peter Cappiello, CEO of Future Technologies.
Keysight noted it offers a software-focused portfolio of private 5G network lifecycle management solutions for the delivery of advanced network visibility, end-to-end network performance optimization, capacity assessment, and security assurance across the protocol and application stack.
“Both companies support a wide range of cellular technologies deployed for use case specific requirements, covering network capacity, interoperability, and performance,” said Jagadeesh Dantuluri, general manager of private networks at Keysight. “We are pleased to partner with Future Technologies by providing solution expertise across wireless and wireline communications in support of private 5G networks deployed to extend wireless coverage, enhance broadband speeds and capacity, ensure increased reliability, and lower latencies.”
Keysight also said its solutions in the collaboration include:
-Data capture and analytics tools (its Nemo Outdoor 5G NR drive test solution)
-Physical and protocol layer wireless analyzers/Keysight’s WaveJudge wireless analyzer toolset
-User equipment (UE) emulation solutions
-Cloud-native network security validation software
-Advanced 5G network active remote monitoring solution (Keysight’s Nemo Industry Probe)
Future Technologies said it will incorporate and demonstrate Keysight solutions into its “living lab” in Atlanta to capture opportunities associated with the growing need for scalable network solutions.
Future Technologies Venture recently said it is collaborating with Intel to open the private 5G “living lab” in Atlanta, Georgia.
Future Technologies said that the lab will provide a real-world environment to showcase use case solutions for large enterprises and government clients.
The company said that the lab will include use cases being adopted in current private 5G network deployments including computer vision, connected worker, remote worker, asset health and management, Autonomous Mobile Robotics (AMR), RFID, IoT sensors, and Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality (AR/MR) solutions, among others. These solutions will span several markets to provide a “diverse demonstration capability to the military, industrial, logistics, large venue and retail markets,” the company said.
The live demonstrations will include several experience areas to include a retail storefront, special event demonstrations, logistics solutions with robotics as well as industrial and military use case demonstrations, according to Future Technologies.
