The Mobile Test Summit 2024 took place in late November at the Rohde & Schwarz headquarters in Munich, Germany. This annual event is a platform where industry professionals can share insights on the latest trends in mobile device and infrastructure testing. The three main topics for this year’s summit were the next generation of 5G Advanced; mission- and business-critical networks; and energy efficiency and sustainability by design. For those who could not join the live event, Rohde & Schwarz is offering on-demand recordings of all the presentations online.

The Rohde & Schwarz Mobile Test Summit was held over two days, November 19 to 20, 2024, at the company’s headquarters in Munich. Wireless communications professionals were invited to engage in two days of discussions on the latest developments in mobile device and infrastructure testing.
