Phase 2:Solution verification

(1) Develop specifications to guide the R&D of 5G (pre-)commercial products. (2) Perform equipment/Device/networking/IoDT tests

(3) Carry out the convergence test of

typical 5G applications.(4) Conduct Verification of the international standards of R16.

Summary: 5G technology R&D test phase 3

9

Formulate all specification based on 3GPP, coordinate and unify main physical layer parameters, to

lead the R&D for 5G pre-commercial product

Construct a 5G indoor and outdoor integrated test network environment, and develop a 5G RF

performance test system

Comprehensively organized R&D and test verification for 5G system, chipsets and test instrument

Accomplish 100% NSA test and 50%+ SA test, effectively promote 5G to maturity

Next Step plan: will continue to accelerate the R&D and optimization of network equipment,

chipset, device and test instrument and to conduct IoDT test between system and chipset/device
