Keysight Delivers New Solution for Benchmarking 5G End-user Quality of Experience in Indoor Environments

Keysight Delivers New Solution for Benchmarking 5G End-user Quality of Experience in Indoor Environments

Nemo Backpack Pro supports quick, consistent and accurate measurements of key performance indicators across multiple 5G networks

SANTA ROSA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced Nemo Backpack Pro, an in-building measurement solution for benchmarking 5G new radio (NR) end-user quality of experience (QoE) in enterprise facilities, airports, arenas and other indoor environments.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210204005814/en/

Advanced 5G enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC) and ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) use cases are expected to be delivered inside a building. Mobile operators need in-building wireless test solutions that quickly, consistently and accurately establish QoE across multiple 5G networks. Keysight’s Nemo Backpack Pro allows users to measure in-building key performance indicators (KPIs) across multiple mobile operators’ 5G networks simultaneously using up to eighteen measurement devices.

“5G deployments in indoor environments require test solutions that efficiently assess end-user QoE across any 3GPP-specified frequency band, benchmark networks and devices, while optimizing new technology functionality,” said Petri Toljamo, vice president and general manager for Nemo wireless solutions at Keysight. “Nemo Backpack Pro makes it easy for mobile operators and system integrators to efficiently capture data in the field. Keysight’s Nemo Outdoor software enables users to analyze the results in real time.”

Nemo Backpack Pro offers:

  • An innovative structural design that does not add over-the-air OTA path loss to measurements, improving the accuracy of captured data, enabling users to compare KPIs such as data throughput rates, download speeds, quality of voice, streaming services and over the top (OTT) applications between different devices and networks.
  • The industry’s lightest backpack for field-based in-building network testing that supports more measurement devices (18) than comparable in-building backpack solutions do.
  • An expandable, ergonomic design that enables a user to capture relevant measurements for a comprehensive range of test requirements while walking the route only once.

Mobile operators rely on test solutions that verify end-users’ QoE in indoor environments, where most of the data and voice traffic is generated. Keysight’s portfolio supports accelerated rollouts of 5G services across a complex landscape in terms of radio propagation, open radio access network architectures and proliferation in device models.

Nemo Backpack Pro is part of Keysight’s portfolio of Nemo wireless network solutions, which uses common software such as Nemo Outdoor, Nemo Handy and Nemo Analyze, as well as common interfaces such as Nemo diagnostic module and the Nemo intelligent device interface to address a wide range of test requirements necessary to analyze the performance of a 5G network or device in the field.

MoneyRates Announces the Best States for Retirement in 2021; Iowa and West Virginia Tie for First Place

Nine of top 10 states may surprise Baby Boomers

PR Newswire

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Those nearing or entering retirement are looking for an enjoyable, affordable place to retire. But they may find the process a bit more challenging now due to the economic fallout from the pandemic.

To make matters worse, this is the first generation to be responsible for their own retirement contributions as opposed to depending on a pension plan. As a result, many are reaching retirement age with inadequate savings to fund their dreams.

To help clarify the options, today MoneyRates releases its list of the Best States to Retire 2021.

The rate-comparison site has been ranking all 50 states since 2011. Analysts consider several factors including cost of living, taxes, safety, lifestyle and health care. While many Americans dream of warm, sunny beaches for where to hang their hat, the two top states are far from either coast. Iowa and West Virginia tied for the title of best state to retire to in 2021.

10 Best States for Retirement

1. Iowa (tie)
1. West Virginia (tie)
3. Arkansas (tie)
3. Mississippi (tie)
5. Florida (tie)
5. Kentucky (tie)
7. Connecticut
8. Missouri     
9. Alabama (tie)
9. Rhode Island (tie)

The study bases its ranking on ten sets of data grouped into four categories: (1) economic factors, (2) crime safety, (3) lifestyle factors and (4) health care conditions.

“While climate was one of the factors we looked at, from day to day there is a lot more to a safe and happy retirement than whether or not it’s warm outside,” says Richard Barrington, the Senior Financial Analyst for MoneyRates.com and author of the study.

“Economic factors are a big concern to people trying to stretch their retirement dollars. Safety from crime is essential to peace of mind. And health care, of course, only grows in importance as people get older. Iowa has a high level of nursing care capacity relative to population size. That, coupled with its strong economy, helped the state tie for the best place to retire.”

West Virginia, on the other hand, scored well on a variety of cost-related factors. The Mountain State appeals to retirees by having the third-lowest health care costs in the nation, the fifth-lowest average property tax burden and an overall cost of living 9.1% below the national average.

Glaring Differences Among States

  • Hawaii is beautiful, but there are 21 states that offer a cost of living that is less than half as expensive
  • Alaska has more than 7 times as much violent crime as Maine, while Louisiana has more than 2.5 times as much property crime as Massachusetts
  • Be sure to check how much property taxes are before buying a retirement condo: The average property tax burden in New Jersey is more than 7 times what it is in Hawaii
  • The proportion of Maine’s population aged 65 and over is almost twice as high as Utah’s
  • The average temperature in Florida is a comfortable 70.7 degrees while, in Alaska, it’s a frosty 26.6

The five states landing at the bottom of the list are all located in the West:

46. Colorado
47. California
48. Washington
49. Nevada
50. Alaska

“Everyone has individual priorities, plus there are personal factors that can’t be measured,” notes Barrington. “The aim of this study isn’t to tell retirees where they should live; rather, it’s to point out the range of different factors you might want to think through when deciding where to settle in retirement.”

Methodology
MoneyRates based its rankings on a total of ten data series which it grouped into four categories:

  1. Economic factors, including cost of living data from the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER), property tax burdens from the Tax Foundation and unemployment rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
  2. Crime safety, based on violent and property crime rates from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
  3. Lifestyle factors, including proportion of older residents calculated from U.S. Census Bureau data and average temperatures from the World Population Review.
  4. Health care conditions, using nursing facility capacity figures calculated from U.S. Census Bureau data, cost of health care figures from the C2ER, and life expectancy at age 65 from the Centers for Disease Control.
