Insights
Keysight's partnership with Mavenir represents a strategic positioning in the evolving 5G infrastructure market, particularly in the critical testing segment for massive MIMO technology. This collaboration validates Keysight's Beam MIMO Detect solution as an essential component in the complex validation chain for next-generation wireless infrastructure.
While the announcement lacks specific financial metrics or contract values, the partnership brings several indirect benefits to Keysight's market position. The company's testing solutions address a significant pain point in 5G deployment – the ability to accurately simulate multi-user, multi-cell environments that mimic real-world conditions. This capability becomes increasingly valuable as network complexity grows with advanced beamforming techniques and spatial multiplexing.
The wireless testing market is experiencing growth driven by 5G expansion, and Keysight appears well-positioned with specialized solutions that enable equipment manufacturers to validate performance before field deployment. This partnership strengthens Keysight's credentials in a high-margin segment of the test and measurement industry that requires sophisticated technology and expertise.
For investors, this development reinforces Keysight's technology leadership in wireless testing, though its immediate financial impact is likely modest without disclosed contract terms. The long-term value lies in cementing Keysight's position in the ecosystem supporting 5G and future wireless technology development – a segment with potential for sustained demand as networks continue to evolve and densify.
The Keysight-Mavenir collaboration addresses a critical technical challenge in 5G infrastructure development: efficiently testing massive MIMO systems with multiple spatial streams. The significance lies in the complexity being solved – simulating realistic multi-user environments with spatial separation that accurately model interference patterns.
Mavenir's 32TRX massive MIMO technology represents the cutting edge of radio access network equipment, supporting higher throughput and spectrum efficiency through advanced beamforming techniques. Testing such systems traditionally required extensive field trials, but Keysight's solution creates a compact benchtop setup with up to 64 bidirectional radio ports – essentially compressing what would be physically dispersed testing into a laboratory environment.
The technical breakthrough here is the ability to validate both inter-beam and inter-cell mobility scenarios, which are particularly challenging aspects of massive MIMO deployment. When users move between beams or cells, maintaining connection quality becomes complex as handovers occur between directional beams rather than omnidirectional cells.
This testing capability accelerates time-to-market for radio equipment manufacturers like Mavenir while reducing validation costs. For network operators, this translates to more thoroughly tested equipment with better real-world performance, particularly in dense urban deployments where massive MIMO provides significant capacity benefits.
The collaboration demonstrates how specialized test equipment evolves alongside the technologies it validates – Keysight's solution must itself implement sophisticated channel modeling and signal processing to accurately recreate the complex RF environments these systems will encounter in deployment.
- Collaboration enables Mavenir to replicate real-world scenarios with multiple spatially separated user equipment
- Test set-up ensures comprehensive testing and reduces validation time for complex multi-cell massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) next-generation Node B(gNBs)
- Validation leverages Keysight’s Beam MIMO Detect solution for efficient beamforming with massive antenna element gNBs
Testing mobility and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) for massive MIMO gNBs involves simulating real-world scenarios where multiple-user equipment (UE) is spatially distributed and in motion. This process helps ensure that the network can handle dynamic conditions and maintain high performance. One of the primary challenges in testing massive MIMO equipment is managing inter-beam interference, which can significantly impact performance if not accurately modeled. Additionally, the complexity of beamforming, channel modeling, and interference management in multi-cell environments requires sophisticated testing setups to replicate real-world conditions and validate the robustness of the network.
Keysight’s Beam MIMO Detect and E2E MU-MIMO solutions provide a compact benchtop setup with up to 64 bidirectional radio ports for complex multi-user interference scenarios. By simulating real-world conditions with multiple spatially separated user equipment in the lab, Mavenir successfully tested its 32TRX mMIMO technology. This included inter-beam and inter-cell mobility assessments, ensuring Mavenir’s mMIMO solutions are robust and optimized for superior user experience.
Santhosh Kumar, Senior Vice President - NPI Engineering at Mavenir, said: “The integration of Keysight’s comprehensive Beam MIMO Detect solution ushers-in a new level of efficiency and accuracy for mMIMO next generation radio and RAN testing. The tool makes it easier to evaluate the performance and ensures that systems are optimized for the real-world environments."
Kalyan Sundhar, Vice President, and General Manager for Keysight’s Wireless Test Group, said: “This collaboration underscores our unwavering commitment to innovation. Through our partnership with Mavenir, we are tackling the challenges of testing multi-user MIMO for MIMO gNBs head-on. Leveraging our advanced E2E MU-MIMO solutions, Mavenir is poised to deliver high-performing solutions that meet the demands of next-generation networks.”
