The Mobile Test Summit 2025, entering its fifth year, will be a virtual event taking place in sessions from November to early December. Hosted by Rohde & Schwarz, this global forum on the future of wireless communications brings together industry leaders, technology experts and testing professionals to explore the latest trends and test challenges shaping the landscape of mobile and wireless communications.

Rohde & Schwarz has announced that this year’s Mobile Test Summit will be an online, multi-session event catering to two major time zones. Wireless communications professionals are invited to register for individual sessions on the Rohde & Schwarz website. The sessions will cover a wide range of critical industry topics: AI and machine learning in mobile networks, non-terrestrial networks (NTN) for mobile devices, the transition from 5G to 6G and the next generation of Wi-Fi.

• The first topic, AI and machine learning, will cover how AI and ML are changing mobile networks. Participants will learn firsthand how these technologies enhance a network’s efficiency, optimize its performance and improve the user experience. The focus is AI-RAN, which Rohde & Schwarz and industry experts will explore from diverse perspectives.
• The second topic is NTN, and its sessions will cover how the evolving NTN landscape enhances the mobile user experience and provides true global coverage for IoT devices. Participants can learn about the CMX500 OBT, a unique solution from Rohde & Schwarz for testing various NTN technologies, including NR-NTN, NB-NTN and Direct-To-Cell (D2C, DTC).
• The third topic addresses the transition from 5G to 6G, with a focus being on XR applications in the 6G age, new device types and the rise of private 5G NR networks. Special focus will be on the impact on test and measurement as the industry evolves from 5G to 6G.
• The fourth topic covers the latest advancements in Wi-Fi 8 technology and how they elevate the mobile user experience. Industry insiders will share insights about Wi-Fi 8 based on IEEE802.11bn, upcoming integrated mmWave support, AI-driven Wi-Fi performance enhancements, Wi-Fi mobile convergence and multi-link operation (MLO) in Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 8.

Across all topics, participants can expect engaging presentations from network operators, infrastructure vendors, technology enablers and industry organisations.

Alexander Pabst, Vice President of Wireless Communications at Rohde & Schwarz, says: “As we mark the fifth anniversary of hosting our popular Mobile Test Summit, we’re excited to continue this open forum for the global wireless community to exchange ideas, share experiences and debate the technical and operational questions that will shape the future of connectivity. The virtual, multi session format makes it easy for professionals in the wireless ecosystem around the globe to participate in focused conversations and obtain actionable insights that help shape the industry’s future.”
