Unmanned aerial vehicles and ultraportable spectrum analyzers target interference
As 5G continues to take shape and LTE increasingly complements Wi-Fi to provide connectivity for the enterprise, industrial and residential in-building wireless space, the way technicians deploy, test and optimize networks is changing. Telecommunications networks are...
Anritsu discusses the importance of spectrum analysis as microwave and millimeter wave applications, including 5G, take shape
As the entire telecommunications ecosystem, ranging from standards bodies and academia to network infrastructure vendors and test equipment suppliers, works to standardize and, ultimately, commercialize 5G, it’s clear...
The benefits for enterprises in deploying successful Internet of Things solutions are potentially huge: cost savings, new income streams, efficient business processes and happier customers.
However, when it comes to developing enterprise IoT solutions such as predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, fleet management or building management,...
Current IoT communication solutions on cellular systems require too much power and cost for many of IoT’s applications. Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) offers lower cost and lower power consumption for a more efficient network, and operates in licensed spectrum.

Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) is a technique for geo-locating RF sources. It requires three or more remote receivers (probes) capable of detecting the signal of interest. Each probe is synchronized in time to capture corresponding I/Q data blocks....
The Internet of Things is expected to be the next revolution in mobile communication, connecting billions of devices. Current cellular technology is not optimized for this massive machine-type communication (MTC). 3GPP has released requirements for new cellular-based narrowband technology specifically for IoT.
Wireless service providers...
Transport performance assurance is a fundamental aspect of network and service quality, where KPIs like delay, delay variation and loss are managed and tracked because of their impact on subscriber quality of experience. Delay is proving to be one of the most challenging metrics...
With the recent confluence of new spectrum sharing innovations and the genesis of “Industry 4.0”—the digital transformation of industrial processes and the fourth industrial revolution—the potential for private IoT networks is substantial. New technologies, such as MulteFire and LTE-based CBRS, makes it possible to...
The tools and techniques used in interference hunting have remained largely the same across previous generations of cellular technologies. Differences in modulation, bandwidth, and frequency bands for 5G networks will however require substantial changes in how interference is detected, located, and resolved in 5G...
We’ve heard all about the consumer benefits, the cool-factor, and the potential of the Internet of Things (IoT), but did you know the benefits for enterprises are just as huge? By deploying successful Internet of Things solutions – like on-demand connectivity, reliable security and...

One of the hottest topics in the Land Mobile Radio (LMR) industry today is the use of private Long Term Evolution (LTE). Although there is a plethora of information available regarding LTE and how it will affect the LMR...
3GPP recently began a new study of 5G New Radio (NR) operating in unlicensed spectrum. Access to shared and unlicensed spectrum will extend 5G into a wider range of deployments and create opportunity for innovation; it will enhance mobile broadband deployments anchored in licensed...
5G wireless networks are going to usher in a new age of higher data rates, Industry 4.0, IoT devices, and driverless cars. To support the millions of devices invading our lives we must first take all of our supporting infrastructure to the next level....
The First Responders Network Authority recently made its long-awaited contract award, and AT&T will build the new, nationwide Band 14 LTE network for public safety. FirstNet has laid out an ambitious timeframe for rollout in order to get devices and coverage for first responders...
To answer the need for more throughput at lower cost, wireless network providers have moved to using a remote radio head (RRH) where the radio equipment is connected to the baseband unit (BBU) by a fiber optic cable. This provides a new level of...
To address our rapidly approaching, hyper-connected future and the unprecedented demand on current 4G wireless networks, researchers at the University of Bristol and Lund University set out to test the feasibility of massive MIMO as a viable technology for 5G networks.
Field testing for fiber-optic network installations represents an area ripe for leveraging the benefits of process automation and insightful analytics. EXFO’s TestFlow solution enables test process automation in the field while providing analytics tools customized to the needs of complicated network builds.
