Brief description

The R&S®CMW500 wideband radio communication tester is the universal test platform for RF integration and protocol development. It is available as the R&S®CMW500 callbox and the R&S®CMW500 protocol tester. The R&S®CMW500 includes a fully integrated end-to-end data solution that permits comprehensive IP throughput and quality measurements. Thanks to the internal fading simulator, it is easy to perform tests under realistic propagation conditions. The R&S®CMW500 can be used in all phases – from product development to production to service. It is the solution with the widest range of supported technologies.

Network emulation

RF Tests under realistic conditions

When developing wireless devices, it is essential to test the communications interface under realistic network conditions. The R&S®CMW emulates the base station for all major cellular technologies from LTE to GSM and in addition wireless connectivity like WLAN and Bluetooth.

5G development

5G NR sub 6 GHz network emulation

Fifth generation (5G) mobile communications will support mixed operation with LTE in so-called non-standalone (NSA) mode, which will be predominant worldwide in the first years. Together with R&S CMX500 radio communication tester the tried and tested R&S CMW500 provide support for 5G NSA test scenarios.

All in one

One tester for all layers and all phases of product lifecycle

From RF to protocol to IP application – all layers are covered in a single instrument. The modular R&S®CMW platform covers all test requirements from development to certification and network optimization to production and service.
