lifetimes the reduction of CO 2 emissions by some 56 million tonnes of CO 2 equivalents. This roughly corresponds to the yearly electricity consumption of around 86 million Europeans. Thus, with its products and solutions in combination with efficient production, Infineon achieved a substantial environmental net benefit of

more than 54 million tons of CO 2 equivalents. The CO 2-emissions caused by global product manufacturing are considered in this figure. Infineon creates a substantial ecological net benefit.

Infineon puts a lot of effort into resource-efficient manufacturing globally. Over and above this, the company’s sustainable products and solutions enable throughout their

Ericsson performs novel 5G coverage and performance verification using drone-powered solution from Rohde & Schwarz

Ericsson performs novel 5G coverage and performance verification using drone-powered solution from Rohde & Schwarz Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz has supplied mobile network testing tools used in drone-based network coverage, performance and operation tests managed by Ericsson, a global leader

has developed together with Centria University of Applied Sciences a novel system for testing cellular mobile network coverage. The new system uses mobile network testing scanners and smartphones from Rohde & Schwarz mounted on a drone that can be programmed to execute automatic tests with considerable flexibility, for

in network infrastructure. The unique procedure enables unprecedented 3D accessibility, positional accuracy and repeatability of the testing. It also opens up new possibilities to ensure end user Quality of Service (QoS) for demanding 5G use cases such as industry 4.0, automotive and public safety. Munich and Kista, September 16, 2019 — The deployment of 5G New Radio (NR) brings new applications of cellular networks for subscribers, government and industry. It also makes the verification of the correct coverage, performance and operation of networks more critical, increasing the demand for accuracy and accessibility in traditional field network tests. A project team based in Jorvas, Finland and led by Ericsson’s 5G Readiness Program RAN Technical Lead Richard Wirén,

example for precise route selection and drone speed control. This solution is especially valuable for industrial use cases. It also has the advantages over traditional walk and drive tests by providing unprecedented repeatability and positional accuracy with the ability to verify beamforming and map coverage in 3D. The R&S TSMA6 network scanner is mounted on a drone and is able to simultaneously verify important LTE and 5G NR coverage metrics such as reference signal received power (RSRP) and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in accordance with 3GPP standards. When combined with the R&S QualiPoc Android smartphone-based optimizer, IP trace,
