Test company Rohde & Schwarz and Qualcomm Technologies said that they have completed the first 5G New Radio location-based services session, with a Snapdragon X55 modem.
The 5G LBS testing consisted of successful verification of an assisted GPS (A-GPS) control plane LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP) test session over 5G New Radio. A device with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X55 5G modem and a Qualcomm radio frequency front-end “was able to successfully establish a 5G non-standalone connection and then perform GPS fixes according to 3GPP requirements,” according to R&S.
