By supporting tests of this function, Anritsu's 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' network 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, and Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) is scheduled to enforce a ministerial ordinance governing its use from 1 October 2025.
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.
