Sarokal launches a new tester for generating, capturing and troubleshooting 5G Fronthaul traffic called X-STEP™ V.
Sarokal´s X-STEP V has been designed to address the testing challenges that new 5G Fronthaul protocol variants and increasing line rates bring to base station manufacturers and equipment vendors.
X-STEP V operates on a patented customizable platform that can be adjusted to meet 5G vendor specific testing demands. “We have, for example, already shown 25Gb eCPRI demonstrations to some of our pilot customers. And as an outcome, first X-STEP V deliveries will be shipped out at the end of this month”, says Mr. Kari Vierimaa, the CTO of Sarokal Test Systems.
X-STEP V supports line data rates up to 25Gb with multiple lines. It is also compatible with the current DRTx platform.
