Anritsu and Bluetest to Support OTA Measurement for 5G Redcap Devices Optimized for IoT Applications
Munich / Gothenburg, Sweden, January 13, 2025
Bluetest and Rohde & Schwarz extend their long-established collaboration and have integrated the Wi-Fi 7 test functionality of the R&S CMX500 one-box signaling tester into the Bluetest Flow control software. Now, developers and manufacturers of next-generation WLAN technology can use the Bluetest reverberation test systems (RTS) to perform MIMO stress testing of IEEE 802.11be stations as well as access points under realistic conditions.
Gothenburg, Sweden, October 22, 2024
Anritsu and Bluetest have combined their recent product upgrades to create an Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement solution in a MIMO environment for verifying RF performance in the tri-frequency bands of the latest WLAN standard (IEEE 802.11be).
This collaboration enables transmit power (Total Radiated Power, TRP) and receiver sensitivity (Total Isotropic Sensitivity, TIS) measurements in a 2x2 MIMO environment on devices supporting IEEE 802.11be.
Gothenburg, Sweden, October 27th, 2023
Anritsu and Bluetest combine their recent product upgrades to create an Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement1 solution for verifying RF performance in tri-frequency bands of the latest WLAN standard (IEEE 802.11be). This collaboration provides customers with a WLAN test solution capable of transmit power (TRP) and receive sensitivity (TIS) measurements on IEEE 802.11be supported devices. Measuring the OTA performance in life-like, but repeatable conditions, enables manufacturers of high-speed data transmission devices, including high-end smartphones, AR/VR devices and cloud gaming consoles, to optimize the radio performance and end-user satisfaction.
Gothenburg, Sweden, May 25th, 2023
The popularity of WLAN connectivity continues to increase, with integration into more and more domestic and industry products. The latest WLAN standards (802.11ax, Wi-Fi 6/6e) bring improved robustness, as well as increased capacity and transmission speed.

China Academy for Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) enhance their testing capacity, and international certificate scope, by installing the Bluetest RTS85HP base station OTA reverberation chamber. The chamber is in full operation and CAICT has already implemented the testing of integrated antenna base station (type 1-O) and passed the OTA RF certification in Brazil.
Gothenburg, Sweden, May 5th, 2022
Bluetest is pleased to announce its enhanced partnership with Anritsu Corporation, offering a new unified test solution for Over-The-Air (OTA) measurement of 5G mobile terminals.
Anritsu and Bluetest have long been working closely for LTE/5G FR1 (Sub-6 GHz band) and FR2 (mmWave) CATR OTA measurements with Bluetest's RTS65 OTA Reverberation Test System, but this enhanced partnership provides further advantages by supporting the new MT8000A Single Instrument NSA solution with Anritsu's MT8000A RF measurement test platform for 5G mobile terminals to implement new LTE & 5G (FR1, FR2) OTA measurements.
Generally, a separate call box MT8821C was required for LTE OTA measurements, but this unified solution facilitates LTE, 5G FR1 and 5G FR2 measurements using just one OTA chamber and one single instrument, Anritsu MT8000A, resulting in lower costs for LTE/5G terminal developers as well as for operator specific Carrier Acceptance Tests (CAT) in an LTE/5G OTA test environment. In addition, the unified smaller system also saves valuable laboratory space.
Gothenburg, Sweden, April 4th, 2022
The Bluetest base station OTA measurement chamber, RTS85HP, is now available in a taller version, to accommodate longer antennas. The RTS85HP Tall version adds 0.6 m on the height, compared with the standard version, thereby allowing for antennas up to 2 m long. Chamber foot print, as well as the frequency range (450 MHz – 67 GHz) are maintained. Overall dimensions of the RTS85HP Tall version are (W x D x H): 3.52 m x 2.69 m x 2.9 m
Gothenburg, Sweden, September 15th 2021
Users of Bluetest reverberation test systems (RTS) can now enjoy the benefits of the
R&S CMX500 5G NR radio communication tester from Rohde & Schwarz for 5G FR1
MIMO over-the-air (OTA) measurements. With the R&S CMX500 integrated in the
Bluetest Flow control software, the solution provides a stable and reliable
environment for measuring throughput as well as receiver sensitivity and output
power on multicarrier devices with up to 4x4 MIMO.
Gothenburg, Sweden, August 17th 2021
Anritsu and Bluetest combine their recent product upgrades to create a strong and
up-to-date OTA measurement solution for verifying the WLAN RF-performance in this new
6 GHz band, as well as of existing WLAN standards (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) in the 2.4
and 5 GHz bands. The collaboration provides customers with a complete WLAN
Over-the-Air (OTA) test solution capable of transmit power (TRP) and receiver
sensitivity (TIS) measurements on devices and access points. Measuring the OTA
performance in life-like, but repeatable conditions, enable manufacturers of small and
large WLAN equipped devices, including IoT and smart home appliances, to optimize the
radio performance and end-user satisfaction.
Gothenburg, Sweden, August 17th 2021
For a long time 6 GHz has been the upper frequency limit of most public
communication systems. This is starting to change with the WLAN standard 802.11ax
expanding into the 6.0–7.125 GHz range ("Wi-Fi 6E"). 5G is another
application showing growing interest in using the frequency bands right above
6 GHz.
