Joseph thereafter expanded his experience to cover the range of Transport, Datacom, RF and DWDM technologies

Joseph graduated from Coventry University with a First Class Honour Degree in Computer Networking and Communication Technology.

Access networks: FTTx, xDLS, triple-play

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?

  1. Recap of previous session
  2. Overview of a FTTA fiber network and the components to test
  3. Challenges in deploying optical fibers within the FTTA/RRH environment
  4. Fiber characterization test methods
    › OTDR vs PM/LS – the pros and cons
    › Impact of different fiber types (G652 vs G567)
    › Bidirectional requirement, gainer vs excess loss, etc.
    › Loopback measurement technique: results and benefits
    › Test results documentation
  5. Q&A
