Video is the dominant service that consumes the majority of bandwidth in today's mobile networks. Performance of video, from a Quality of Experience perspective, is a fundamental concern for Network Operators. The key challenge is how the user's perceived video quality can be measured...

C-RAN and 5G create much stricter latency and capacity requirements for backhaul and fronthaul, and expand the role of fronthaul in transport. In this webinar, we talk about the evolution of backhaul and fronthaul, the emergence of xhaul/midhaul models, and the use of mmW...

Services beyond connectivity are expected to play a large role in how operators derive value from adding millions of connected vehicles to their networks, from billing and analytics to software updates and more. RCR will examine the services side of the connected car ecosystem, including...

After voters have their say on November 8, a new Administration, new Members of Congress, and new policymakers will be appointed and will take office. Priorities in both the legislative and regulatory arenas will shift, and the telecom industry and wireless carriers should be...

Cell site deployment is complex, costly and multi-staged. For RRH (Remote Radio Head) installation, there is typically an installation phase, and a completely separate turn-up phase when the BBUs (Baseband Units) are finally activated. However, a new process is emerging called BBU Emulation whereby...

Consumer demand for mobile connectivity and cloud-based platforms has resulted in mobile networks transmitting more data than ever, which puts carriers in a prime spot to use analytics in order to glean insight into what is actually moving across their networks. However, growing demand...

Many promises are being made for real-time communication (RTC) services in the Cloud. Unfortunately, service providers are realizing that transitioning RTC services to Cloud architectures is not as simple as slideware suggests. In order to be successful, service providers must understand the myths and...

Asset Lifecycle Management, when done properly, is a critical component of an overall Supply Chain Management practice. Management Data Systems International (MDSI) and Fulcrum Technologies - developers of the CATS ALM Software solution - present best practices to allow you to manage complex supply...

Networked devices are at the heart of building smarter cities. Connecting a smartphone to the Internet is one thing, but connecting an industrial asset—like a transformer or a stop light—is another. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the connection among industrial devices are...

Small cell and DAS deployments require careful planning and coordination of a number of different processes. Zoning, permitting, lease agreements, backhaul, power, and "negative assets" all need to be evaluated when a site is chosen. A new site's planned performance needs to be projected...

As more "things" from watches to sensors to vehicles are given connectivity to the Internet of Things, there are two fundamental goals: make sure the technology works as expected, and make sure it is secure. In different devices, the testing to ensure those two...

5G is one of the biggest buzzwords in the mobile telecom space, but what exactly is it? With true 4G networks now just coming to market, and plenty of runway left in terms of LTE-based 4G development, what is 5G at this point beyond...

Modern cell sites have a distributed architecture, where the base-station transceiver subsystem is divided into two main elements: 1. A baseband unit (BBU) performing base band functions in the digital domain, which resides at the base of the tower; 2. and, a remote radio head (RRH)...

Successful organizations today are leveraging technology for strategic advantage to improve business outcomes. New opportunities are being created through digitization and the establishment of smart buildings which are not only intelligent but fully connected. Enterprises find themselves connecting more devices, people, and processes. In-building...

Manual testing of the passive RF components of an In-Building wireless (DAS) antenna system can be a lengthy and expensive process, particularly if retesting becomes necessary. The manual testing process used for tower work does not scale well for the much more complex DAS...

Densified networks are necessary to support increasing traffic loads with the current spectrum allowances. The webinar will assess multiple densification strategies: indoor vs. outdoor; public spaces vs. enterprise; small cells vs. DAS; contribution of carrier Wi-Fi of LTE unlicensed and LWA; neutral-host and infrastructure-sharing...

Are you able to easily manage your multi-vendor SIP network and quickly monetize new services? Over the past decade, a majority of the Service Providers have migrated away from TDM towards SIP based networks – starting at the core and moving towards the edge. This...

Network and service assurance remain a top priority for telecom operators, though views on what those assurance levels need to be in environments for virtualized networks remains in flux. This webinar will look at some of the challenges telecom operators and vendors are facing in terms...

Delivering a Gigabit service to the front door only frustrates the consumer even more when all they get inside the home is a couple megabits over Wi-Fi or no service in the room where they need it. Today over half of all customer service...

This webinar presents an overview of tower technology and tower investment trends, followed by a discussion of drone usage on cell towers and fiber testing. Three of the four major carriers now have processes in place to enable drones to inspect their tower top...

The journey to virtualized networks and cloud services that are chained together in real time will further increase the demand for new tools that can provide highly accurate and automated proactive analytics. Customer experience and network analytics go hand-in-hand for communications service providers (CSPs)...
