Digital technology is just better
In-building cellular coverage is all about distributing cellular signals to where they need to be: users. Traditional analog technology would take the cellular signal source – whether from a BTS (Base Transceiver Station), small cell, or off air – amplify...
For those following the development of 5G, it might be easy to say 5G is already here. In reality, that is partially true.
3GPP Release 16, sometimes referred to as “Phase 2” of 5G on ITU timelines, is designed to be an 18-month project that...
Coexistence is key to ensuring stable and reliable functional performance of your IoT device and is the only way to accurately evaluate and maintain its performance.
To locate and identify interference that may adversely impact your device, review the four steps outlined in this guide.
With the promise of 5G—including higher data speeds and new services—come major challenges for operators in terms of network quality, reliability, and availability.
Mission critical applications will demand a network which cannot fail, and ensuring network quality will be at the core of deployment and...
High performance interconnectivity solutions are vital to the overall system performance of modern day mobile network. With 5G on the horizon and demands of higher data and higher performance on the rise, the radio and antennas are ever increasing in numbers, but at the...
5G has arrived. One consequence will be the largest volume of millimeter-wave (mmW) ICs ever produced! A radical use case evolution is happening to make ubiquitous 5G possible by harnessing mmW spectrum to increase data speeds by orders of magnitude.
Verizon launched its fixed wireless...
Anritsu’s patented PIM over CPRI option is a new, non-intrusive method of measuring passive intermodulation (PIM) using live traffic over the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) link. It is set to change the dynamics of PIM detection by enabling users to test at ground...
Networks are being significantly impacted by the commoditisation of hardware and the migration of functionality and value to software. This dramatically increases network complexity, but more importantly gives carriers an opportunity to gain a competitive advantage through disruptive new services.
One lucrative new market that...
Mobile network operators are densifying their network infrastructure to both meet ever-increasing data demands and to lay the groundwork for 5G.
While the importance of fiber, spectrum availability and ease of siting are often discussed in network equipment deployments, one overlooked factor is the impact...
In the new age of Internet of Medical Things, battery life plays an increasingly important role in medical device design. Gaining insights into your device’s power consumption can inform your design decisions and help you maximize its life.

The MNO’s RAN performance team noticed that the operations support system (OSS) flagged the presence of an RF noise issue in the network based on high uplink (UL) received signal strength indicator (RSSI) levels.
In order to take a closer look and attempt to diagnose...
In the last 30-years, tastes and preferences have shifted toward 24/7 connectivity. As older generations have adopted the new technology, younger generations have grown with it, and vast industries have embedded it into their operations, electronic companies have expanded their service offerings, thereby placing...
5G fixed wireless access use case brings new set of testing challenges
With the 5G non-standalone (NSA) specification set for completion later this year along with the 3GPP tracking to complete the standalone 5G New Radio (NR) specification mid-2018, operators are aggressively looking to leverage...
It’s now possible to solve interference and other issues without spending countless hours on the road.
Interference has always been a curse for the cellular industry. It degrades network performance, can render a base station or some portion of it unusable and impacts subscribers' quality...
IoT devices may not work as designed when exposed to real world conditions. Build confidence in your IoT device design by simulating real-world RF environmental conditions during test and ensure reliable and robust IoT device performance.
With 40% of emerging markets still anticipated to use 2G in 2020 (according to GSMA), the cost savings and simplification of Parallel Wireless solution allow global operators to bring connectivity to these markets while enabling an easy and cost-effective migration path to 3G/4G/5G.
This solution...
