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.

This three-part webinar series to learn more about connector inspection and cleaning techniques, fiber-link validation and troubleshooting, CPRI transport link validation, and more. This series aims to help you:

Get your tower crews up-to-speed with fiber testing
Ensure SFPs and RRH equipment are fully functional before activating services
Speed up your deployment while preventing costly repeated tower climbs

Watch Part 1 and Part 3

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?
