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)...
Quickly locate RF interference sources with advanced interference hunting techniques.
With RF spectrum proliferation, interference issues are inevitable. Interference can reduce coverage, capacity, and throughput by desensitizing receivers, increasing noise floors, and lowering signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). All of this has a major impact on user...
How do you make a small cell financially viable? The technology has been slower to ramp than expected, after meeting substantial cost, logistics and RF challenges in the real world. RCR looks at the status of the small cell market from home femtocells to...
No matter what industry sector you operate in—health, insurance, safety, government, or consumer discretionary, etc.—it’s unlikely that the Internet of Things (IoT) hasn’t become your market’s latest must-have. A key part of IoT is how the things connect to the Internet. Since the answer...

Despite the fact that voice does not boast the same traffic growth as data and accounts for less than 10% of mobile, it still plays a crucial role in mobile operators’ networks. In this webinar we review trends in the adoption and technology developments...
5g, 4g, SDN, NFV, Small Cells – what is a common requirement for the success of each of these? Reliable, scalable, performance driven backhaul. Tier1 Cell carriers have recently added new technical and service level mandates for backhaul. These specifications highlight the structural shift...
Each outdoor deployment, whether it is small cells or outdoor DAS is a learning lab for operators and vendors, and this webinar digs into the specifics of site acquisition, network design, equipment selection, installation and testing. Metro deployments that are in both the planning...
With the advent of LTE-U and LAA, Wi-Fi may face radical change -- or will it? RCR looks at the status of the ecosystem and its near-term future, from the latest standards work and increasing speeds to the use of Hotspot 2.0/Passpoint for automatic...
A mobile network should draw lessons from cloud providers to adapt to new traffic, application and service demands that threaten to destabilize quality of experience, and limit opportunities for growth.
Although trends are emerging, MNOs are still unsure how applications (video, IoT, wearables, etc.) will impact...
The Internet of Things is bringing new players into the wireless ecosystem and creating new opportunities for carriers. While mobile operators see opportunities in asset tracking, mobile health monitoring and industrial IoT, vendors are focusing on the low power, short range connectivity solutions that...
Goldman Sachs views IoT as the third “internet” wave while predicting that IoT will exceed preceding internet waves by connecting 28 billion “things”. By extending mobile and wireless “pipes”, IoT will unlock product innovation, create new business models and expose networks to unprecedented level...
The connected car poses a number of market, behavioral and technical challenges. RCR explores those challenges and some of the key players working to solve them. In this webinar, we look at market drivers and consumer desires for the connected car as well as...
This webinar will look at the current global state of the union on LTE as a baseline for discussion of VoLTE deployments. The topics that are helping and hindering VoLTE from becoming more widespread will be covered, along with interim generations of LTE on...
