The Keysight E7515R UXM 5G Wireless Test Platform is a network emulator designed for testing Reduced Capability (RedCap) 5G NR devices, Cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) devices, and Narrowband Non-Terrestrial Networks (NB-NTN). Built on the proven architecture and software of the E7515B UXM 5G platform, it delivers RF, protocol, and functional testing across the complete device development lifecycle—from early design through certification, manufacturing, and repair.
The platform supports 5G NR RedCap in FDD, HD-FDD, and TDD modes, alongside CIoT, NB-IoT, Cat-M1, and LTE Cat-1 through Cat-4 technologies. Full 3GPP Release 17 compliance ensures devices meet current standards for RF performance, protocol behavior, and functional operation including IP data, voice, and battery characterization.
