Locating an interference source is nothing short of finding a needle in a haystack. From a service provider perspective, RF interference is much more than a nuisance. If it is not eliminated, it can negatively impact service providers’ CAPEX, and OPEX, and can cause...
As service providers continue to grow their RF network footprints, they are under tremendous pressure to reduce deployment time to meet constant network demands and reduce OpEx. Fiber to the antenna (FTTA) sites offer significant coverage and capacity benefits, but at the same time...
Suddenly, on a Monday morning around 9:30 am, we started to get calls at the NOC of high dropped calls near a strip mall; this continued till 6 pm. Everything was working fine last week; we did not make any changes to the network,...
In this blog we will discuss in brief the benefits of distributed RAN, some of the challenges faced by this new architecture, and how the RFoCPRI solution on Viavi’s CellAdvisor platform is helping service providers to overcome those challenges.
Advancements in radio technology (improved power...
Interference in cellular networks is one of the most common problems in the radio access network (RAN). As demand for cellular data continues to grow, causing proliferation of RF spectrum and amplifying RAN interference issues, managing user QoE will continue to be a big...
