Keysight Technologies is a leader manufacturer of electronic test and measurement equipment and software. In Europe, Keysight plays an active role in advancing 6G, AI, and Metrology research by collaborating with top-tier service providers, vendors, research institutes, and universities. Through partnerships, Keysight contributes to crucial EU and government-funded research, as well as innovation and trial projects. These collaborative efforts are specifically geared toward facilitating the development and deployment of next-generation network technologies and interconnected devices.
Keysight will be validating and benchmarking the integration of both multi-RAT and distributed AI components in next-generation cellular networks. Keysight brings an array of state-of-the-art testing and measurement solutions, complemented by its pioneering expertise in test automation, and KPI/KVI definition and validation. Furthermore, Keysight will play a key role in exploitation activities thanks to its deep engagement with prominent standardization bodies such as ETSI, 3GPP, ITU-T, and the O-RAN Alliance.
UNITY-6G is a strategic project for Keysight. Keysight is committed to developing novel techniques for measurement, data collection, processing, and analytics for highly
distributed, AI-native, micro service architectures, leading to new monitoring, validation, and testing methodologies targeting extreme 6G use cases. Keysight will thus leverage the project to strengthen the company’s knowledge and position in the 6G market of Test and Measurement (T&M). It is envisioned that the 6G test market will rapidly evolve toward a billion-euro market by 2028. For Keysight, it is critical to stay at the forefront of developing the technologies and approaches that will be used in the years to come to test and benchmark any technology related to 6G – an opportunity enabled by the UNITY-6G project.
Matteo Pagin and Filip Ivanovic, R&D Researchers with Keysight Denmark, will oversee the project execution in collaboration with Carles Navarro Manchón, previously an Associate Professor at the Department of Electronic Systems at Aalborg University, and now Senior Researcher at Keysight Spain.
