Webinar Series on Fronthaul Testing

The path towards complete FTTA/RRH site turn-up - in just one field trip.
This webinar series covers everything you need to know to efficiently qualify fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) networks and confirm that remote radio heads (RRH) and CPRI links are fully functional before leaving the cell site – in just one field trip.

Part 2: Deploying Fiber at 200 Feet - How to keep your foot on the ground

Understanding the challenges in deploying optical fibers within the FTTA/RRH environment. What are the different methods to test and characterize fiber?
