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 this solution creates some challenges for the base station deployment teams. […]
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 challenge for service providers. This challenge is further exacerbated by the […]
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, the neighbor list, or other RF parameters over the weekend. I […]
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 amplifier efficiency, better design and longer MTBF) have allowed service […]
The American football championship is one of the largest sporting events in the U.S. with more than 100,000 attendees. Most fans have mobile devices, and the bandwidth demand for uploading and downloading multimedia poses a huge challenge for network service providers. In a sign of just how much investment it requires to be ready for […]
