KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES BELGIUM

Their core work

Keysight Technologies Belgium is the Belgian arm of Keysight Technologies, a global leader in electronic test and measurement equipment. In H2020 projects, they contribute industry-grade expertise in wireless communications testing — from 5G application benchmarking to millimeter-wave and terahertz measurement systems. Their role bridges the gap between academic research in next-generation wireless technologies and the practical instrumentation needed to validate and characterize these systems. They bring real-world testing infrastructure and RF/microwave engineering know-how to research consortia working on future communication standards.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Keysight Belgium entered H2020 in 2016 with a focus on 5G application benchmarking (TRIANGLE), where they served as coordinator. By 2018-2019, their participation shifted toward more fundamental and forward-looking wireless research — terahertz systems and millimeter-wave antenna technologies through MSCA training networks. This trajectory shows a clear move from testing current-generation 5G toward preparing measurement capabilities for next-generation 6G-relevant frequency bands.

Keysight Belgium is positioning itself at the frontier of beyond-5G and 6G measurement, building research partnerships in terahertz and millimeter-wave domains that will define the next decade of wireless infrastructure.

How they like to work

Keysight Belgium has taken both leadership and partner roles — coordinating TRIANGLE while participating in two MSCA training networks. With 42 unique partners across 13 countries from just 3 projects, they operate in large, diverse consortia typical of Marie Curie networks. This makes them an accessible and experienced consortium partner, comfortable contributing industry perspective and infrastructure to academically-led research initiatives.

Despite only 3 projects, Keysight Belgium has built a broad European network of 42 partners across 13 countries, a reach driven by participation in large MSCA training networks that bring together universities and companies from across Europe.

What sets them apart

Keysight is one of the few global-scale test and measurement companies actively engaged in EU-funded wireless research. Unlike academic partners, they bring commercial-grade instrumentation and real-world testing methodology to consortia. For any project needing to validate wireless performance at mmWave or THz frequencies, Keysight offers a rare combination of industrial measurement capability and willingness to participate in collaborative research.

Highlights from their portfolio

• MyWave
  Largest funding (EUR 256K) and most applied focus — millimeter-wave base-station technologies for real wireless infrastructure.
• TeraApps
  Doctoral training in terahertz technologies signals Keysight's investment in building the next generation of expertise for post-5G measurement.
• TRIANGLE
  Their only coordinator role — a 5G benchmarking project that directly reflects Keysight's core business in test and measurement.
