Service assurance has been an ongoing struggle for wireless carriers as they look to balance their spectrum and network assets with growing consumer demand. Advances in software have become the latest tools use by mobile operators, including the move towards virtualization in order to...
Ever increasing network and device complexity has increased the impact of device-network interaction on the subscriber’s experience. Unfortunately, testing has not yet caught up and instead remains focused on device-specific or network-specific KPIs. Operators, infrastructure and device vendors may all profit from a new...
As mobile operators focus on the need for network densification, the companies that supply and service the carriers are exploring the business models and technologies that can enable successful DAS and small cell deployments. The DAS model is proven in large venues, but the...
Explosive mobile traffic growth, largely driven by the proliferation of LTE mobile devices, new broadband technologies and Internet video content, have caused a tremendous increase in network messaging volume that can overwhelm critical LTE network elements and degrade services for a large number of...
RCR Wireless News explores recent developments and advances in the collection and analysis of data across the telecom operator's broad horizontal view: from business systems, the network and devices. Distilling data from those sources into actionable intelligence remains a challenge, with automation an area...
Wireless carriers cannot roll out 4G networks without the contractors and subcontractors who bring next generation networks from vision to reality. Infrastructure service providers work hand-in--hand with mobile network operators, but some of these relationships are shifting as AT&T and Verizon shift their focus...
Finding connected cars on the road today are not common, but GSMA Connected Car Forum reports 20% of global vehicle sales will have "embedded connectivity solutions" and over 50% will be connected by tethering or integrating a smart phone by the end of 2015....
Wireless infrastructure will generate an estimated 30,000 net new jobs between now and 2017, and related industries will generate an additional 1.2 million jobs in the United States. While construction and tower climbing remain male-dominated industries, many of the industries enabled by wireless technology...

Neutral host Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) operate over a wide frequency range in order to accommodate as many users as possible. The antennas and RF power distribution network are typically designed to pass signals between 698 to 2700 MHz, and sometimes wider. A question...
Until now, cell site turn-up and maintenance have been relatively straightforward procedures-performed on one macro cell with one technology. Today, much has changed-in addition to macro cells, small cells and DAS are proliferating, both indoor and outdoor, covering 2G, 3G, 4G and WiFi.
RF and...
As carriers rip-and-replace legacy equipment in favor of new technologies, they are faced with what to do with the old equipment. RCR Wireless News will take a look at the different choices carriers have in what to do with old equipment, including recycling options....
RCR Wireless News takes stock of the latest in tower and antenna technologies. We will look at fiber to the antenna (FTTA) and remote radio head (RRH) use, as well as backhaul trends, including millimeter, microwave, LOS/NLOS, fiber and the small cell backhaul dilemma.This...
Understanding Common Sources of Interference in LTE Networks
Although many types of interference are common to all radio access technologies, the combination of new frequency allocations and new modulation types have created unique interference challenges for LTE deployments in the United States.
This webinar uses real-world...
Antenna Evolution - Meeting the Demand for LTE, Small Cell, & DAS Networks
Implementations of Small Cell and DAS systems have many challenges; not the least of which is the selection and placement of the antenna elements.  Since these systems deploy antennas close to the users,...
Even as carriers rush to add more LTE coverage and capacity to their networks, the download speeds experienced by the end users are declining. Video is one of the main reasons that LTE cannot keep pace with the data demand, and optimizing video delivery...
