Case Study: Lekha Wireless Solutions halves development time and cuts RF testing 80% with MathWorks (MATLAB & 5G Toolbox)

Lekha Wireless Accelerates Development and Interoperability Testing of 5G NR Technology

Lekha Wireless Solutions, a provider of 5G NR physical-layer (PHY) reference solutions and IP, faced long development cycles and costly rework because verification was often postponed until hardware implementation. To enable earlier unit-level functional verification and interoperable 3GPP-compliant designs, Lekha adopted MathWorks tools — notably MATLAB, 5G Toolbox, and MATLAB Compiler — to validate signal-chain modules before RF testing.

MathWorks helped Lekha implement a MATLAB-based golden-reference testbench using 5G Toolbox and a web application built with MATLAB Compiler to run module and end-to-end tests, generate IQ files, and visualize metrics like constellation plots, BER/BLER, and EVM. The MathWorks-based workflow halved development time, reduced UE test framework setup from 8 months to under a month, and cut RF testing time by 80%, enabling same-day final verification and faster time-to-market.
