Private LTE for critical communications

This webinar describes an approach to overcome 5G benchmarking challenges and uses real measurements from benchmarking first commercial deployments of 5G to analyze a network’s true performance and measure its ability to support current and future use cases.

Operators deploying 5G networks increasingly find that flexibility and efficiency are needed to meet present needs while laying a foundation for future requirements that may include applications beyond mobile broadband in public 5G. With additional wireless spectrum in the next 14 months and even satellite broadband-like service, the future has no boundaries. This webinar will feature a review of current mobile network trends and a look at technology options and strategies including in-building/venue applications, private 5G and low-latency public 5G. These technology options will position mobile network operators, city/local government, and MSOs for success, from fronthaul through edge networking in midhaul to backhaul.

5G is the buzz. Everyone involved in the large telecommunications ecosystem is developing, trialing, promising and dreaming about 5G networks. While this technology comes with great promises and applications, we seldom hear about the underlying physical network that will have to transport the data to the 5G radios. That’s right, the optical fiber network that has been installed and optimized for other applications (e.g., FTTx, Remote PHY) will now need to reach deeper with possibly more stringent requirements.

Vladan is looking at a real case study to compare the predicted RF coverage and field data collected from a 5G NR network deployed by QMC Telecom at the Bossa Nova Mall in Brazil earlier this year. Using this data, he is discussing how iBwave Design prediction accuracy enabled optimal coverage in the 44,000 m2 (484,000-square feet) facility.
