Texas Wireless Summit attendees hear massive MIMO essentials and benefits
AUSTIN, Texas – Service providers last year spent $41.3 billion on U.S. spectrum. Full realization of massive multiple-input/multiple-output antenna technology could hugely increase the utility of those costly spectral assets by a factor of 50.

As testing labs prepare for the new SISO and MIMO OTA testing standards from CTIA, PCTest Engineering Laboratory said it is expandings its capabilities in those areas with a MIMO OTA testing solution from Spirent Communications. Spirent's solution is also going to be used by...
LTE networks are like thoroughbred race horses compared to their workhorse 3G predecessors. LTE is much faster and more powerful, but easily spooked by noise and interference.
“LTE is very sensitive to interference because of higher orders of modulation,” explained CommScope’s Ray Butler, vice president...
AUSTIN, Texas – This week on HetNet Happenings, RCR Wireless News Managing Editor Sean Kinney takes viewers inside National Instrument's annual NI Week conference and exhibition.
Kinney talks with James Kimery, National Instrument's director of marketing for RF, communications and software defined radio, about the...
CTIA has a well-respected device testing and certification program, with 110 certified labs around the world – of which 75 are authorized to perform its over-the-air testing for device performance. The industry group has been developing OTA test plans since 2001 for devices with...
Operator demos LTE-A at 600 Mbps using 4X4 MIMO technology
Singapore's second-largest mobile operator, StarHub, expects its 4G-Advanced network coverage to reach 100% of the country's territory in the third quarter of 2015, the company's CTO Mock Pak Lum told RCR Wireless News.
The executive said that...
JMA Wireless upgrades distributed antenna system product line
JMA Wireless upgraded its distributed antenna system portfolio to include multi-input, multi-output functionality, which serves to increase data throughput.
The upgraded Omni-MIMO ceiling-mounted unit is equipped with two 698-2700 MHz X-Pol antennas, which are PIM certified for up to...
Brooklyn 5G Summit set for April 8-10
ATLANTA – A major question floated by industry insiders at the recent Competitive Carrier Association Global Expo: What is 5G, and when will it begin to appear? NYU Wireless, a research center within New York University, is attempting to...
CommScope's ION-U simplifies DAS troubleshooting in Europe
Today CommScope announced the ION-U for European markets. By supporting the five frequency bands common to Europe in a single solution, the deployment of indoor and outdoor distributed antenna systems in Europe should be less complicated and costly.
One...
The use of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) severely complicates the process of measuring eNodeB power and modulation quality in LTE systems. The difficulties include the fact that spectrum analyzers have just one receiver, while two or more receivers are needed for complete demodulation...
DALLAS – Antennas and network signaling in LTE were the highlighted topics as the LTE North America conference got underway this week, underscoring the complexity of the LTE network and its continuing evolution.
Michael Thelander, CEO of Signals Research Group, presented some of his company's data...
