Anritsu Unveils New Software-Based Solution For 5G IoT Chipset And Device Development Tests

Anritsu to Showcase 5G Network Simulator in Virtual Environment Without Dedicated Tester at MWC Barcelona 2025

Anritsu Corporation is proud to introduce the Virtual Signalling Tester NR Software MX844030PC, a software-based test simulator for developing 5G IoT chipsets and devices. The solution supports 5G IoT test by using a new simulator that operates in a virtual environment on a PC using advanced architecture, as well as a Software Defined Radio (SDR) that implements most conventional radio functions in software.

The solution will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2025 Anritsu booth (Stand D41, Hall 5), March 3-March 6, 2025, in Barcelona, Spain.

5G network simulation in a virtual environment streamlines various tests, including device under test (DUT) fault detection, performance evaluation, current consumption, device interoperability, and shipping inspection/security tests. Anritsu will assist quality assurance and development efficiency in various fields by utilizing its virtualization simulator technology and will continue to extend this solution towards Beyond 5G and 6G.

Development Background
The software-based virtualization testing market has grown rapidly in recent years. There is demand for solutions leveraging the advantages of virtualization simulators, including reduced costs, efficient testing, and risk reduction, with a focus on creating flexible scenarios. Testing on a PC environment without conventional dedicated development testers reduces hardware and operating costs, shortens test cycles, and provides quick feedback. Moreover, various test environments simulating actual operation environments can be constructed flexibly, because it is easy to customize matching development requirements.

Virtual Signalling Tester NR Software MX844030PC
The MX844030PC software platform supports 5G testing. It features 5G virtual network functionality and supports RedCap tests in the 5G sub-6 GHz band. The user-friendly RTD Lite graphical user interface (GUI) facilitates intuitive changes to parameters and test procedures from sample scenarios, as well as efficient device verification and analysis using report/log functions.
