Cell-Site Testing for Greater Connectivity and Speed

Optical testing and monitoring
  • February 3, 2014

Jamie Humphreys

Senior Technical Sales Specialist, EXFO

Mr. Humphreys has worked for EXFO as a Senior Applications Engineer for more than eight years. With over 20 years of experience, he has held various Systems/Application Engineering roles, supporting both lab and field with communications test technologies, specializing in TDM, optical transport and Ethernet.  He holds an AAS-EE degree from DTI, Durham, NC.

The wireless landscape continues to evolve at breakneck speed, and is growing in both size and density. But to meet the goals needed to achieve greater connectivity and speeds everywhere—both indoors and out—specific steps are required prior to and after activation. 

This webinar covers the following three aspects of HetNet installation, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting best practices:

  • Fiber optics: Connectors, loss, and physical medium characterization
  • RF best practices in heterogeneous networks
  • Verification of Ethernet service key performance metrics
