Optical testing and monitoring

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
