Rohde & Schwarz supports the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G

For network operators, the introduction of each new device into their network represents a new challenge to ensure subscriber Quality of Experience (QoE) and to avoid disruption to network performance. Flagship devices like the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G that introduce new chipsets and advanced services are particularly challenging. With the support of the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, Rohde & Schwarz enables operators and service providers to get a comprehensive view of the RF environment and measure QoE of services including video, voice, and apps from a true end-user perspective.

Rohde & Schwarz supports the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G with its complete portfolio of mobile network testing solutions, including the smartphone-based optimizer QualiPoc Android , the universal network measurement software R&S®ROMES4 and the network benchmarking software SmartBenchmarker .

Gregor Tomic, Product Manager says, “R&S®ROMES4 is again the first product in the industry showing live measurements with Samsung’s new flagship S20 5G for 5G network testing. In the R&S®ROMES4 print screen below we see the EN-DC connection details, band and channel information as well as the Layer 3 information including specific events. In addition, we are currently very active in the integration and testing of the latest 5G modules on the market, and we support the Simcomm SIM 8200EA already now.

Simon Allemann, Product Manager says, "We are very excited that our smartphone-based RF and QoE testing solution QualiPoc runs on the latest Samsung flagship device Galaxy S20 5G. At a nearby 5G site in Switzerland, we just conducted real 5G network measurements and created a screen recording of it, which is shown in the video below. Because QualiPoc also supports commercial off the shelf (COTS) devices and allows access to the full trace information via the open diagnostic port, it is a powerful solution to test brand-new smartphones and its features, even before a fully integrated device is available.”
