On October 25, the ZTE Fixed Network User Conference was convened in Berlin, Germany during Broadband World Forum (BBWF) 2017. More than 20 operators from Europe and across the world attended the conference, where they discussed fixed network construction modes and shared their experience...
5G is rapidly climbing the hype cycle. Qualcomm has even claimed it could be as “transformative as electricity.”
Wireless network operators in the U.S. are not only talking about 5G, but asserting that their trials are ongoing and deployments are coming soon — in many...
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...
Telecommunications networks are dynamic systems in a constant state of flux. Service providers are rapidly investing in wired and wireless systems to expand coverage and deliver better experience to consumer and enterprise end users. The current climate is marked by the evolution from LTE...
Learn about the challenges of C-RAN, and best practices for testing
Recent advancements in radio technology have allowed service providers to deploy LTE networks using a distributed baseband architecture. Radios are installed at the top of the tower, close to the antenna, and separated from...
The Florida Keys are a special place. My then-girlfriend, now wife Katherine and I moved there in 2008 after we finished college. As a graduation gift, my parents took us to Key West for a week-long vacation; a little less than a month later...
Over 120 million subscribers entrust competitive carriers as their network operator of choice –for a whole host of reasons. Many enjoy the superb quality of their networks, while others may prefer the community-based, local feel that only a smaller carrier can provide. No matter...
5G wireless technology has many hopes and promises associated with it, including delivering up to 10 Gbps of throughput per user with much denser networks and super-low latency speeds.
Although not expected to be standardized until 2018, 5G is clearly transitioning from an industry vision to a tangible,...
