to four different test points. Users can therefore compare the power consumption of individual subcomponents, such as an application processor, the RF transmit unit and other components, against the total power consumption within a realistic signaling scenario controlled by the R&S CMW500. The power probe was designed

them in realtime. The power probe also automatically calculates the minimum, maximum, average and RMS values for the voltage, current and power. The probe is available with two or four power measurement channels. The individual current and voltage signals are sampled at five megasample per second (Msample/s), for a time resolution of

specifically for the R&S CMW family of radio communication testers. When used in combination with the R&S CMWrun automation software, long-term monitoring of automated signaling test scenarios is possible, as needed for performance tests, regression tests and acceptance tests. Even the test scenarios for the new 3GPP features for reducing power consumption in machine-to-machine applications, such as power save mode (PSM) and enhanced discontinuous reception (DRX), can now easily be measured and correlated. The solution supports all prevalent mobile communications technologies with connections in test, voice and data transfer mode. The R&S RT-ZVC has a multichannel design. It measures power by taking a voltage and a current reading and then multiplying

200 ns for each reading. As a result, even the smallest, most transient of signal changes can be acquired, as needed for example, to specify the start-up behavior of chip components. The R&S RT-ZVC is designed for input voltages of ±15 V, and the measurement range for input currents can be varied from 4.5 µA to 10 A. A vertical resolution of 18 bits for sampled signals makes it possible to cover the required dynamic range e.g. from nA to A. The power values calculated by multiplying the current and voltage pairs are averaged (method selectable by the user) and then output over the integrated USB interface. This keeps the data volume under control even for long-term acquisitions. As the sole vendor for Jio’s LTE radio access network, Samsung worked with Jio at each step of the process from network planning, network expansion, interference analytics to optimization. The LTE solutions provided by Samsung were fully compliant with the 3GPP LTE standards, with their performances already verified and proven in other global markets. “We are pleased to have won this prestigious award in joint effort with Samsung Electronics, who have been a reliable partner in our pursuit to creating a truly Digital India,” said Jyotindra Thacker, President of Jio. To fulfill the key intention of the project, of bringing India together and improving elements that impact the quality of human lives, the project plans to launch many more applications around the fields of education, health, rural, livelihood and agriculture and reach digital empowerment to the remotest corners of India.

Jio and Samsung Win “Best Mobile Innovation for Emerging Markets” at Global Mobile Awards 2017 base to a record 100 million within 170 days of launch.

eliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. (“Jio”) and Samsung Electronics, announced that they have won the “Best Mobile Innovation for Emerging Markets” from Global Mobile Awards 2017 at Mobile World Congress 2017 for the digital movement that Jio, with support from Samsung, is bringing to India.

India into a digitally empowered society by overcoming the country’s digital divide has been recognized on the global stage with this prestigious award. The two organizations have focused on reaching the power of communication and information with free voice and world’s lowest data rates across towns and rural areas through the deployment of the world’s largest greenfield LTE network in India. In addition, Jio has focused on enabling an easy access to digital life with customer-oriented applications and tariffs. Through its invitational offers, millions of Indians were able to embrace a digital lifestyle and helped Jio to rapidly expand its subscriber
