Cable and Antenna Test: Introduces measurement and calibration techniques for cable and antenna testing (CAT). Measurement examples are provided for cable insertion loss, return loss, VSWR and distance-to-fault (DTF) testing. Antenna measurements are also discussed and several examples of return loss and antenna-to-antenna isolation are provided. This white paper is presented by Agilent Technologies.

For years, the wireless industry has danced around the mobile broadcast space, which seemed to be the final mountain to climb in the notion of a “three-screen” world. People love television, and if the wireless industry could somehow transform that experience from the big screen down to the handset – and charge accordingly – a [...]

Decisions on the architecture of the supply chain directly affect profitability. Optimized supply chains adhering to supply chain network best practices can lead to reduced logistic costs, improved time to market, and a reduction in required working capital – all key components of the bottom line. While each supply chain is unique, you should be [...]

In 2012, LTE finally went main stream. Sure, there had been plenty of talk around this popular “4G” network type before, but this past year was all about deployment, deployment, deployment.

The webinar will address the operational and financial benefits of sharing wireless infrastructure. Specifically, participants will learn how operators can monetize non-core assets, save on future capital expenditures and realize reduced operational costs in deploying their networks; how communities will experience environmental benefits from shared infrastructure and see a reduction in the proliferation of towers; [...]

Despite record low interest rates, raising capital has been a challenge throughout the wireless ecosystem. But some small companies are getting funded, some mid-sized firms are preparing to go public, and the biggest names in the industry are looking at creative ways to finance network upgrades and expansion. Now that the election is over, many [...]

The sluggish recovery and the threat of the fiscal cliff make the capital markets uncertain territory, but the wireless industry has fared better than most in 2012. Venture capitalists have been ready to fund infrastructure plays as well as mobile apps, and the carriers and tower companies have been able to take advantage of lower [...]

Policy Decision and Policy Enforcement in mobile data networks is evolving beyond basic blocking and throttling of traffic to enabling advanced use cases and capabilities. A key area of interest is Policy Engagement – how new policy-enabled data plans, offers and promotions are being meaningfully offered to end users, and how policy engagement and enhanced [...]

As cloud computing become more mature and ubiquitous, the mobile cloud emerges as the next hype once it allows you to  access data wherever you are and whenever you want them. However, it effects a vast stakeholders range and key questions emerge such as if enterprises are prepaid for mobile cloud and its impact to [...]

The mobile is set to become a huge influence on cloud computing, with the so-called “mobile cloud” emerging as the next trend expected to impact not only enterprise IT management, but also the wireless world. As several observers have note, just like electricity and water, the Internet – for the most part – will be [...]
