Assessment of LAA-LTE market prospects, role of LAA-LTE in mobile networks, coexistence/competition with Wi-Fi, impact on small cells, traffic management across licensed/unlicensed channels (data and control plane; coordination of macro- and small-cell traffic), and backhaul implications.
What you will learn: This webinar will assess the...
Now more than ever, RF propagation in highly densified environments requires an approach that is both creative and scientific. The antenna at the edge can determine the success, or failure, of the overall system. What are the pitfalls? What are the choices? How do...
As mobile operators begin to rollout NFV, SDN and cloud platforms, there is a growing need for centralized orchestration in order to help automate information flow between the platforms and for on-boarding of services. This is also known as management and orchestration (MANO). This...
Carriers are planning their investments in HetNets carefully as they balance the need for more coverage and capacity with pressure on the top line created by incessant data price wars. Investments must be made to satisfy current network demands while anticipating future developments, including...
Creating your own IoT solutions – from connection, to management and integration – has become plug-and-play easy. At the core, delivering this simplification sits an enterprise-grade, do-it-yourself Application Enablement Platform that addresses all the necessary complex ‘plumbing’ – reducing cost, time and risk. This...
There's a lot of talk in the industry as to how the telecom players - operators and equipment vendors will or won't more closely align with automotive OEMs and Tier 1s. Are operators simply connectivity providers? Do OEMs become MVNOs? These topics and more...
In this webinar, participants will learn about how to choose tools for each step of the interference hunting process, from identifying that there is a problem to touching the offending device.
Topics include:
• Remote Spectrum Monitoring
• Approximate emitter location estimation
• Driving to...
Carrier Aggregation is now widely deployed as a key LTE-Advanced technique for exploiting fragmented spectrum, increasing peak data rates and improving network capacity. In this webinar we will examine the evolution from two to three carriers and beyond.
You will gain insights into:
• The...
An update on the small cell market as it is shaping up in 2015, and what technical issues in testing are emerging as deployments take shape, with a particular focus on interference testing, indoor and outdoor optimization and management considerations. RCR also explores what...
Spectrum monitoring is commonly used to diagnose RF communications issues, determine spectrum availability, analyze transmission patterns, spot illicit transmissions, clear frequencies, or as part of a regulatory enforcement system. Proper setup and use of spectrum analyzers, though seemingly simple, becomes complex in practice, once...
The migration of operators to all-IP mobile networks is underway, driven by the need for Long-Term Evolution (LTE). The rise in LTE is fueling the transition from SS7 signaling to Diameter signaling as more subscribers drive data and voice traffic over mobile IP-based networks....
NFV has become a hot topic in the wireless telecom space, and this webinar will provide an update on how the NFV ecosystem is developing; how the NFV standards process is progressing with a focus on standards bodies; and look ahead to 2015 NFV deployment...
As mobile data usage skyrockets and data ARPU continues to decline, mobile operators are looking to increase their network capacity and coverage while minimizing their deployment and operational costs. Small Cells and HetNets offer a cost-effective way to expand mobile networks, at a fraction...
Join Monica Paolini, President of Senza Fili Consulting as she discusses the market trends, operator requirements, and technology opportunities driving the transition to a virtualized RAN, through the deployment of C-RAN and fronthaul, and running in parallel to the densification enabled by small cells,...
As mobile networks evolve from present architectures and business models to NFV/virtualized, software-based architectures and customer-centric business models, network planners and architects have come to recognize Analytics as a foundational cornerstone that is central to the business transformation that is underway. In Parallel the...
Mobile operators and service providers are deploying thousands of small cells and Wi-Fi access points in an effort to improve network capacity, close coverage gaps and enhance the customer experience. If small cells are poised to solve many of the issues facing the industry...
Car-2-Car, Car-2-Infrastructure - How does it all come together?
"Connected car" has become a catch-all term to include aspects related to telematics, vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, infotainment, ADAS, autonomous driving and on and on. This webinar will look to map the different categories that fall under this umbrella,...
Consumers expect to be able to access their content from any device, at any time. This webinar explores consumer trends and expectations and how they are driving the content cloud and content delivery/distribution, as well as the underlying network interchanges and architectures that are enabling...
Network traffic is increasing dramatically and signaling is set to grow even faster as a result of VoLTE and legacy interworking. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) communications will further burden the signaling network infrastructure.
As the signaling landscape evolves to...
Predicting Subscriber Health with CRM
Evolving network and software technologies are providing customer relationship management (CRM) platforms with greater insight into what consumers expect from mobile services, which is coming at a time when the telecom space is seeing increased competition from rival operators, OTT...
Organizations of all sizes have been migrating to the cloud for increased flexibility, accessibility, and cost efficiency. While the benefits of shortened deployment times, lower CAPEX, pay-as-you-go convenience, and technology independence are well documented, the cloud subscribers face challenges in the area of data...
The introduction of Carrier Aggregation in LTE Release 10 (LTE Advanced) allows network operators to dramatically improve throughput performance by combining multiple LTE downlink carriers from different frequency bands.
