The fifth generation (5G) mobile networks have adapted new features compared to the previous generation that resulted in increased overall throughput and decreased latency. At the same time the complexity of 5G-based standards and deployment scenarios has increased. The new features of the physical layer gather interest not only in the development of software, but also in the field of measurements and performance evaluation, among the research community. This paper proposes a flexible End-to-End (E2E) standalone 5G system platform that can be fully reprogrammable and customizable to serve as a basis for research that can be expanded to all aspects of a 5G system design. The main capabilities and use cases of the platform are presented and conclusions are made based on the conducted tests and measurements.
