Rohde & Schwarz demonstrates FR1–FR3 carrier aggregation, advancing 6G readiness

What happened

Rohde & Schwarz and Qualcomm demonstrated carrier aggregation across FR1 (2.5 GHz) and FR3 (7 GHz) bands using a CMX500 tester upgraded with an RFU18 board, a step in 6G R&D. The demonstration validates RF and protocol behavior for future network applications like XR and autonomous vehicles. Neutral: This is a long-term R&D milestone with no immediate impact on component supply, demand, or pricing.
