Keysight to Showcase AI-Driven Wireless Innovations and 6G Readiness at Mobile World Congress 2026

Key Terms

agentic ai technical

Agentic AI refers to computer systems that can make their own decisions and take actions without needing someone to tell them what to do each time. It's like giving a robot a degree of independence to solve problems or achieve goals on its own, which matters because it could change how we work and interact with technology in everyday life.

radio access network (ran) technical

A radio access network (RAN) is the collection of antennas, base stations and related equipment that connects mobile devices to the broader phone and internet network, acting like a bridge and traffic controller for wireless signals. It matters to investors because RAN design and upgrades determine how fast and reliably networks deliver services, influence a carrier’s costs and rollout speed for new technologies (like 5G), and shape which vendors or operators gain revenue and competitive advantage.

non-terrestrial network (ntn) technical

A non-terrestrial network (NTN) is a communications system that uses satellites, high-altitude platforms, or other airborne stations instead of—or in addition to—ground-based towers to deliver voice, data and internet services. Think of it as adding balloons or satellites to a city’s cell towers so coverage reaches remote, maritime or disaster-hit areas; for investors, NTNs create new markets, change hardware and spectrum needs, and can shift competitive dynamics in telecom and IoT sectors.

integrated sensing and communications (isac) technical

Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is a technology approach that combines radio-based sensing (like detecting position, motion, or environment) with data transmission over the same hardware and signals. For investors, ISAC matters because it can cut costs, shrink device complexity and power use, and enable new services — similar to merging a camera and a walkie-talkie into one device — which can change demand for chips, network equipment, and applications across industries like automotive, telecom and IoT.

multiple-input, multiple-output (mimo) technical

A multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) system uses multiple transmitters and receivers to send and receive data at the same time, boosting wireless capacity and reliability. Think of it like adding more lanes and traffic lights to a road so more cars can travel faster and with fewer jams; for investors, MIMO technology can raise the value of network equipment, chips, and devices by enabling faster speeds, better coverage, and new services that drive demand and revenue.

digital twins technical

Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical objects, systems, or processes that simulate their real-world counterparts in real time. They allow users to monitor, analyze, and predict how the actual entity will behave under different conditions. For investors, digital twins can provide valuable insights into performance and potential risks, helping to make better-informed decisions.

quality of service (qos) technical

Quality of service (QoS) describes how reliably and quickly a network or service delivers data and functions—think of it as a restaurant's consistency in serving dishes on time and correctly. For investors, QoS indicates whether a company can meet customer expectations, retain users, and avoid costly outages or penalties; strong QoS supports steady revenue and growth, while poor QoS risks lost customers, reputational harm, and added expenses.

positioning, navigation, and timing (pnt) technical

Positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) is the set of services that tell devices where they are, how to get where they’re going, and what the exact time is—most commonly delivered by satellite systems like GPS. Investors care because many industries (transportation, finance, telecom, defense, and autonomous vehicles) depend on accurate location and time the way businesses depend on electricity; disruptions or upgrades to PNT can create risks, costs, or new market opportunities.

SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keysight (NYSE: KEYS):

What: At Mobile World Congress 2026, Keysight Technologies will demonstrate how it is accelerating the future of connected intelligence with agentic AI and high-fidelity emulation. From advancing 6G research and enabling AI-driven radio access network (RAN) innovation to validating non-terrestrial network (NTN) devices, Keysight helps optimize performance, reduce risk, and accelerate the deployment of resilient, future-ready networks.

When: March 2-5, 2026

Where: Hall 5, Keysight booth #5F41

Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, Barcelona, Spain

Info: Keysight at Mobile World Congress 2026

Keysight will present the following demonstrations that are accelerating the future of connected intelligence:

Pioneer 5G-Advanced to 6G

Keysight will showcase 5G-Advanced and early 6G readiness through a demo on high-precision radio frequency (RF) digital twins. Keysight will also demonstrate machine learning (ML) based channel state information (CSI) compression. The focus will be on realistic channel emulation and closed-loop testing that support AI-native air-interface development, reproducible lab workflows, and accelerated progress toward 6G.

Software demonstrations will also include several validation use cases including pre-6G FR3 air-based performance, Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) simulation-to-emulation workflows, and end-to-end 5G-Advanced eRedCap device testing. In addition, Keysight will highlight quantum photonics testing, and low-noise multichannel RF signal generation.

Unlock AI Performance

Keysight will highlight the validation of AI and ML across networks, wireless systems, devices, and infrastructure under realistic network conditions. Use cases include agentic AI for autonomous wireless testing, high-order Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) evaluation, GPU inference benchmarking, and AI-driven security and network threat defense.

Scale AI-RAN

Keysight will showcase the validation of AI-driven RAN modules, including testing, data collection, AI/ML training, and benchmarking in one streamlined workflow. In addition, Keysight will demonstrate how agentic AI, telecom-specific large telecom models (LTMs), and digital twins enable operators to automate 5G and 6G network operations.

Software demonstrations will also include end-to-end AI and RAN validation, AI workload scheduling for AI-RAN and real-time coordination across terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. These capabilities support dynamic coverage deployment and improved network resilience.

Launch Next-Gen Space

This demo features end-to-end NR-NTN device and modem validation. Keysight’s network emulation solution empowers device and modem makers to reduce deployment risk, shorten validation timelines, and ensure device performance aligns with real-world commercial NTN service requirements at launch. In addition, Keysight will showcase how its integrated positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities improve performance and reduce development risk.

Several software demonstrations will also be available highlighting NTN quality of service (QoS) evaluation, live-to-lab PNT testing, multi-orbit handover, and NTN scenario emulation. Together, these capabilities enable repeatable, operationally relevant validation of next-generation satellites and NTNs.
