"OPPO is fully aware that reliability testing is mandatory before launching competitive commercial products into the market," said Cao Peng, vice president and general manager for Keysight's wireless test group. "Keysight 5G test solutions enable OPPO's engineers to efficiently conduct power consumption testing, regression testing and new feature interoperability testing, as well as emulate crowded streets and high speed train scenarios which helps OPPO implement their 5G strategy." 

Chipset manufacturers and their mobile device ecosystem use Keysight's 5G NR platform, which complies with the latest 3GPP 5G NR standards, to accelerate development, verification and operator acceptance. Keysight 5G solutions cover both sub 6 GHz and mmWave frequencies for conducting and over-the-air testing. Common development tools allow customers to share design insights at all stages of the product life cycle to speed the introduction of 5G NR products.

"The upgraded OPPO Communication Lab is a new milestone in our 5G strategy, and represents a new level of close cooperation with leading global technology companies," said Shu Can, vice president and general manager of Product Strategic Planning and Cooperation Center at OPPO. "To support the rapid evolution of global 5G technology, we are pleased to join hands with Ericsson and Keysight to leverage our experience in 5G standards, products and applications and enhance the 5G ecosystem worldwide."
