Companies extend cooperation to support 5G VoNR voice quality evaluation

Anritsu Corporation has announced a new efficient solution combined with a hardware platform from HEAD acoustics GmbH for evaluating the voice and audio quality of 5G VoNR devices. With this new development, the companies can now offer the complete solution for Voice/Audio quality evaluation for all cellular technologies, including 5G SA VoNR, 5G NSA VoLTE, 4G VoLTE, 3G and 2G.

Anritsu’s 5G Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A and SmartStudio NR software, with its easy-to-use GUI to simulate a 5G communications environment, can now support HEAD acoustics’ labCORE hardware platform and ACQUA measurement analysis software. This provides users with an effective and complete test environment for evaluating 5G VoNR quality of user devices.

"It’s important for Anritsu to contribute to the performance measurement of the wireless devices as required to ensure confidence of the industry in the new technologies, like 5G VoNR.” Hiroyuki Kato, director, Mobile Solutions Div, Anritsu Corporation, adds, “We’ve a long experience in Network Simulators and have the confidence of the leading chipsets and devices manufacturers; today, our 5G simulator MT8000A and SmartStudio NR software, because of its performance, stability and ease of use is also able to contribute in the key area of VoNR audio quality testing with the help of the key collaboration with HEAD acoustics."

"We are very proud that with the compatibility to the Anritsu solution, we can offer our customers another way to test and optimise the communication quality of 5G-enabled devices," said Christian Schüring, sales manager Telecom at HEAD acoustics GmbH.
