Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS) announced it has joined the Ericsson Industry 4.0 partner program, the better to provide test and measurement platforms for the planning, deployment and operations of industrial 5G networks.
The Ericsson Industry 4.0 partner program is billed as "a vehicle for solution providers who offer technologies as part of the Industry 4.0 ecosystem. This program sets the standard for recognizing a partner’s investment in the tools and processes necessary to provide high return on investment for industrial customers using cellular connectivity as the foundation for their Industry 4.0 initiatives," adds Ericsson.
“Keysight’s broad portfolio of 5G solutions enable a wide ecosystem to effectively test and validate infrastructures and sub-assemblies, and deliver on the promise of the fourth industrial revolution,” comments Giampaolo Tardioli, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s network access group. “Our advanced hardware and software tools help connect digital platforms with the physical world, enabling enterprises to easily make informed, accurate, and real-time decisions.”
Purpose-built for industrial environments, Ericsson notes that its dedicated private wireless cellular networks enable secure reliable coverage with high device density and predictable latency. Leveraging these connectivity solutions, enterprises can gain full visibility of machines, processes and data, using 4G/LTE initially, but now with a clear path to 5G upgrades.
Participation in the Ericsson Industry 4.0 partner program indicates that Keysight Technologies has undergone training and testing for the Ericsson Industry Connect initiative, offering services such as radio frequency (RF) planning and installation, as well as consulting for Industry 4.0 digitalization. Keysight notes that its test and validation platforms optimize networks and bring electronic products to market faster and at a lower cost, with offerings from design simulation, to prototype validation, to manufacturing test, to those for cloud environments.
