RF module can be installed in new or existing units to facilitate extended all-in-one 5G NR test coverage for highly efficient verification of device and chipsets. Module supports extension of FR1 band to 7.126GHz providing a broad spectrum of coverage from 0.4GHz. Product features a built-in RF transceiver that provides up to 16 Tx and 8 Rx. It supports 5G carrier aggregation over four different bands for 5G 4×4 MIMO Standalone (SA) and New Radio Dual Connectivity (NR-DC), which combines Frequency Range 1 (FR1) and Frequency Range 2 (FR2) component carriers to achieve higher bandwidth.
