Most 5G applications are in-building
LOS ANGELES--Right now carriers are focused on building out 5G outside; serving up next-generation cellular inside buildings hasn't emerged as a major priority just yet. And that's a missed opportunity, according to Luigi Tarlazzi of CommScope.
"You look at the details...
Commscope also highlighted the firm is well-positioned to capture business opportunities in the 5G field
Commscope expects to see future benefits from partnerships with large North American customers despite some impacts in the firm’s margins, the firm’s CFO Alexander Pease said on a conference call...
New ebook hits on multiplexing, PON, business cases and other key aspects of fiber deployment
Whether its used for metro capacity, backhaul or inside a building, fiber is a cornerstone of global communications networks. CommScope is a major player in fiber, as well as many...
Wireless consumers are demanding more bandwidth, and wireless network operators must increase the density of their networks in order to deliver it. Where one macro cell might serve everyone in a half-mile radius, networks for 4G LTE Advanced and 5G services will require small...
Spectral and wireless/wireline convergence mark move to 5G
During a recent discussion with RCR Wireless News, a group of subject matter experts from CommScope discussed a number of key trends shaping the telecoms industry, including the evolution from LTE to 5G, sharing the 3.5 GHz...
Densifying the networks with small cells is a key part to making 5G a reality, but the most dense small cell networks are still in 4G.
Network densification has been used in 4G LTE for a while. As the 3GPP standards committee meets in Busan,...
CommScope deployed a DAS solution as well as an intelligent lighting solution in its Madrid office
Last year, CommScope decided to consolidate several offices in Madrid, Spain, to a single facility that opened in June 2017. As it made that change, the company faced the...
In a promising sign for an equipment ecosystem for Citizens Broadband Radio Service spectrum, CommScope and Ericsson said this week that they successfully completed interoperability testing of Ericsson's equipment with CommScope's Spectrum Access System. This is the third SAS compatibility testing under Ericsson's belt;...
CommScope's Morgan Kurk, EVP and COO, and Ben Cardwell, SVP of Mobility Solutions, sat down with RCR Wireless News during Mobile World Congress 2018 to share the company's perspective on the development of fixed wireless solutions that tap high capacity millimeter waves, as well...
vRAN architecture improves flexibility and lowers total cost of ownership
Virtualization of network functions is helping operators decrease network-related capex and opex by replacing expensive, proprietary solutions with software that can run on off-the-shelf hardware. As it relates to the radio access network, a vRAN...
When I was 13, I wanted a phone in my room, so I could talk to friends in my own space instead of sitting on the basement stairs or pacing back and forth in the kitchen and ultimately knotting the curly cord like a...
CommScope has launched a new antenna with a particularly broad range of frequency support, that pushes multiple-input-multiple-output technology on the tower to 4x4 at 1400-2700 MHz, with low-band support at 694-960 MHz as well.
Upendra Pingle, VP of CommScope's base station antenna and Heliax product...
Multi-layer convergence and new approach to network architecture in support of 5G
5G is all about more--more capacity provided in a more efficient manner that creates more value for consumers and more attractive business cases for communications service providers. Next-generation connectivity will be realized through...
Carriers and other network operators should be able to offer some services using the Citizens Broadband Radio Service spectrum as soon as next year. Vendors have developed software to manage and assign CBRS spectrum dynamically, and are now preparing for a certification process with...
Network topologies are changing as consumer and enterprise demands for bandwidth increase at a staggering rate. The advancements we’re seeing in wireless connectivity are not possible without corresponding advancements in the wired physical plant. Much of this innovation is dependent on the availability of...
Pre-standard 5G fixed wireless deployments can be leveraged to add mobility
Ongoing fiber deployments can be leveraged to build increasingly dense wireless networks at the macro level as well as in support of massive small cell roll outs. Operators have shown an early interest in...
