The voice and audio analysis player Head Acoustics has partnered with Rohde & Schwarz for verification of voice and audio services of 5G mobile devices.

The upgraded R&S CMX500 5G one-box signaling tester features a reduced footprint and easier handling combined with debugging and analysis capabilities, which support the end users’ testing of voice services.

The R&S CMX500 offers a comprehensive toolset for audio testing. In addition, it allows audio acoustics testing of voice services in both 5G (VoNR) and 4G (VoLTE) networks when combined with the labCORE hardware platform from Head Acoustics and their ACQUA measurement and analysis software. This enables early-stage testing of 5G-capable devices for voice quality.

The R&S CMX500 supports a 5G FR1 frequency range of up to 8 GHz and an FR2 mmWave frequency range of up to 50 GHz in one instrument.

Another important feature is the Bearer and Flow Monitor which enables you to see various Quality of Service (QoS) flows such as video or audio live via the connection.
