France’s Presto Engineering and the vendor are pushing the boundaries in the DIMIT 5G project
France’s Presto Engineering and Nokia are working together in the DIMIT 5G project for RF testing beyond 80GHz, which is supported by the French Public Investment Bank (BPI). The plan is to develop a new generation of microwave that are more integrated with 5G and, in future, with 6G.
The project is to study and develop new microwave transmission equipment for industrial applications. The goal is to densify and improve 5G RAN networks with a new generation of RF test equipment using the ASIC design services for which Presto is famous.
Push back performance
Pierre-Gaël Chantereau, President of Nokia France, commented, “Nokia is continually investing in the research and development of cutting-edge technologies to push back the performance limits of telecoms infrastructures.
“Thanks to the DIMIT project, supported by the French Public Bank of Investment (BPI), and our collaboration with Presto, we can accelerate our roadmap and accompany the evolution of 5G networks towards 5G+ and 6G.
“This project will enable greater integration, higher performance and lower energy consumption of new microwave equipment.”
Cédric Mayor, CEO of Presto Engineering in France, said, “We are extremely proud to pursue our collaboration with Nokia as a test technology enabler, designer and manufacturer of ASIC chips for the telecommunications market. We are continually striving to push the barriers of testing beyond the limits of standard automatic test equipment.”
