Samsung owned Harman has started a 5G testing lab in India. The company aims to provide 5G testing services to organizations test their devices for operating them on 5G.
“Advances in technologies like 5G yield significant opportunity to accelerate innovation across nearly every industry – from healthcare and manufacturing, transportation to consumer device support. But, to turn innovation into impact, testing the reliability and effectiveness of new technologies is crucial,” said David Owens, Senior Vice President of HARMAN Digital Transformation Services.
He added, “Now, with the new comprehensive HARMAN 5G Testing Lab, technology providers have a one-stop shop to not only test and verify their solutions cohesively from device-to-cloud – but collect additional detailed insight about device performance across multiple variables and truly raise the bar for consumer 5G experiences.”
Harman’s Testing Lab will simulate a 5G radio and core network to measure multiple levels of end-to-end application performance. The Lab will first assess radio output, testing frequency, signal quality and modulations – followed by measuring data throughout application layers to assess the output of specific use cases like VR, video and more.
In addition, the Lab can also simulate different network conditions, such as weather or unexpected network interference, and introduce partner applications to deliver a completely holistic assessment of how new 5G devices will operate in the field – and in the hands of consumers.
The testing lab has been set up in Gurugram, Haryana. It will equip technology providers including device manufacturers, silicon providers, device OEMs, telecom companies and more with the ability to execute a variety of protocol and functional tests.
The Department of Telecom, India, last week had approved applications to start field trials of 5G services in the country.
