Anritsu Company has announced that its 5G-NR Mobile Device Test Platform ME7834NR supports Technical Standard Certification tests of the Intercarrier Roaming in Emergency function, facilitating emergency communications in Japan during disasters causing disrupted communications. By supporting tests of this function, the ME7834NR enables device manufacturers and carriers to efficiently implement and certify Intercarrier Roaming in Emergency.
The Intercarrier Roaming in Emergency function allows mobile devices to connect automatically to other carriers’ networks when the contract carrier’s network is unavailable due to a disaster, enabling calls and communications without requiring manual re-settings.
This function is a key technology for ensuring emergency communications, directly impacting people’s lives. Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) is scheduled to enforce a ministerial ordinance governing its use beginning October 1, 2025.
Anritsu will contribute to a stable and safe society by providing reliable measurement solutions that ensure secure communications, such as Intercarrier Roaming in Emergency functionality.
The ME7834NR is registered as 5G-NR Test Platform TP251 at the Global Certification Forum (GCF) and the PCS Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB) in North America. This platform supports 3GPP-compliant Protocol Conformance Tests (PCT) and Carrier Acceptance Tests (CAT) of mobile devices incorporating Multiple Radio Access Technologies.
