RanLOS antenna and connectivity test system for vehicles makes a breakthrough on the Japanese market

RanLOS AB recently secured a major deal with its distributor TOYO Corporation. The deal covers the RanLOS Sub-6 GHz test system which will be demonstrated to an international conglomerate as well as leading automotive manufacturers seeking for innovative connectivity test solutions in Asia.

Successful system demonstration in Gothenburg  

Impressive results were seen during a demonstration of the system in Gothenburg in late 2022. This led to the purchase of the RanLOS Sub-6 GHz test system, which is a turnkey solution that includes both hardware and software. The RanLOS solution can be used to measure antenna radiation patterns as well as connectivity/throughput, both for full vehicle and stand-alone antennas and communication systems.

 

Jan Carlsson, CTO at RanLOS, comment on the days of testing:  

 

“We had a very successful demonstration of our test system where we measured both antenna radiation patterns and connectivity/throughput for both stand-alone antennas and a full vehicle communication system. The customer was very impressed with the ease-of-use of our test system and the many possibilities to plot and analyze the results in our proprietary software.”  

 

Great distributor collaboration

RanLOS has contracts with three different distributors covering Europe, Japan, China, Korea, and the USA and is primarily targeting global vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. The company’s strategy is to work with leading international distributors to make its mark in the industry. This is the first deal for the RanLOS Sub-6 GHz test system in collaboration with TOYO Corporation.

 

Louice Rosdahl, CEO at RanLOS, after finalizing the deal:

“We are really looking forward to what the future will bring. For a small Gothenburg-based company to successfully enter the Japanese market is great proof of both the quality of our products but also our strategy to work with leading international distributors. This is a big step in making our mark in Asia and the Japanese market. The need for Over-the-Air (OTA) measurements is increasing worldwide, and we are in a great position to enable automotive manufacturers to do OTA testing easier, faster and smarter.

Ericsson Mobility Report – Key Insights

2022-12-01

Ericsson Mobility Report
- Key insights

As we look to the future, we know that 5G will play a significant role in shaping our daily lives and connected lifestyle. We see on-going changes in how our connected society shapes with new technologies and solutions, like smart devices used in our homes and offices as well as the development of new cars which rely on high-speed and reliable connectivity.

RanLOS - Ericsson Mobility Report

In the latest Ericsson Mobility Report we get a summarized view and forecasts about the world-wide 5G evolvement and the future of the telecom industry over the years to come. We’ve gathered some short notes and thoughts about the Ericsson Mobility Report (2022-11) here. 

Key insights:

  • 19 GB = That’s the average data consumption per smartphone expected to exceed per month in 2023.  
  • 300 million = That’s the number of FWA connections that are projected in 2028 
  • 5 billion = That’s the forecast of 5G mobile subscriptions in 2028.  
  • 80 % = That’s the percentage of global mobile network traffic that video is expected to account for in 2028.  
  • 38 % = That’s the increase of mobile traffic from Q3 2021 to Q3 2022 

The global mobile network data traffic is almost doubling every two years and has since Q3 2021 increased by around 38% compared to Q1 2022. By the end of 2022, 5G subscriptions are expected to reach 1 billion, and more smart 5G devices with additional capabilities are expected in the market during 2023. Looking ahead to 2028 the assumption is that 5G subscriptions will pass 5 billion and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) connections will reach 300 million, where 5G will account for almost 80 % of the FWA connections. 

With a global view in mind – 5G is live in all regions and 228 service providers have launched 5G services today, with over 700 units of 5G smartphone models announced or launched commercially. But how service providers are choosing to roll out varies depending on many local factors. For example, 5G mid-band population coverage — which is essential for an optimal 5G service offering and user experience — is deployed at different paces in different markets. It has reached 25 % population coverage globally, but markets like the US have already reached 80 %. 

There are tons of more valuable information in the report, but we can conclude that 5G is evolving and are expected to enable a whole new era of services, applications and experiences in a more rapid pace than the transformation from 3G to 4G.
