Third-generation and “4G” wireless networks are facing a severe capacity crunch caused by massive data demand created by smart phones and tablet devices. Deployment of macrocells will not solve the problem since most of the demand is generated indoors. Service providers are moving towards heterogeneous solutions (3G/4G/Wi-Fi) consisting of a dense network of femtocells, picocells and metrocells [...]

RCR Wireless News Editor-in-Chief Dan Meyer was joined by esteemed guests, including long-time industry analysts Roger Entner, former FCC Commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth, former Senior Attorney with the Competition Division in the FCC’s Office of General Counsel Lawrence Spiwak and former FCC Wireless Bureau Chief Fred Campbell in taking a look at the regulatory challenges facing [...]

Service providers have been buffeted by the explosive growth in data traffic. Meanwhile many networks remain highly siloed and are becoming more complex even as service providers move to converge infrastructure and adopt more flexible cloud-based approaches. In this webinar, we’ll share some of the challenges that service providers have been facing, cover the key [...]

It’s no secret that the future of the enterprise network lies with wireless, especially as computing technology aggressively and constantly expands on a mobile level. But, to support the mobile device boom (which Cisco pegs at 50 billion by 2020), network engineers will need to find new ways to address the enterprise bottleneck beyond just “adding [...]

Maintenance windows were originally designed to allow for downtime when the majority of users were asleep and not using the services. In today’s mobile “always on” world, maintenance windows are no longer viable. Businesses and consumers alike expect “always on”, 24x7x365 services. Users assume and demand that services are always available, whether from Alaska at 2 a.m. [...]

From wireless chipsets to core networks to devices, software is a key differentiator for OEMs today, and for carriers as well. The right software solutions require the right skill sets. RCR Wireless looks at specific software development, design and engineering skill sets that companies are in demand now. This webinar is presented by AT&T.

Modern tracking generators deliver a convenient way to test the performance of two port components. In this webinar you will discover when you need to normalize a measurement and when you don’t. The need for wide dynamic range will be shown and advanced topics will be discussed. This webinar is presented by Anritsu.

How will increasingly detailed service intelligence and network data change the game for wireless service providers? Of late, it seems like everyone from traditional equipment manufacturers to testing companies to BSS/OSS software vendors are making service and network assurance claims to help carriers defend subscribers from OTT providers, reduce churn and drive value-added service revenue. [...]

Wireless operators around the globe are rolling out LTE networks in order to meet growing demand from consumers for mobile data services. In meeting that demand, many operators are looking at using small cell technologies to further expand coverage in densely populated markets where demand is set to outstrip the spectrum resources controlled by operators. [...]
