This week on HetNet Happenings, RCR Wireless News Managing Editor Sean Kinney discusses backhaul planning and design tools (with an emphasis on small cell deployments) with Joe Marzin, technical director of Cosmsearch.

Small cells hold a lot of promise in regards to network densification, but field deployments have failed to keep pace with industry projections.

When a metro small cell deployment could potentially include hundreds, if not thousands, of locations and commissionings, scalability and planning are key.

Marzin discusses the updated iqlinkXG product, which uses Oracle asset database integration to help network engineers find the optimal locations for a small cell.
