As existing TDM mobile networks give way to next generation LTEⁱ networks, carriers are pushing IP, MPLS, CDN and traffic grooming functionality to the edges of the network. The RCR Wireless News team will review mobile operators and their partners, including cable companies and alternative service providers, as they aim to reduce network costs and improve quality of service.

Over-the-air (OTA) measurements are commonly used to determine the wireless system performance of wireless-enabled devices aside from field testing. LTE has introduced MIMO in order to improve network performance. This webinar presents a straightforward and cost-effective solution for LTE MIMO OTA testing to rank radiated MIMO performance.

The complexity of MIMOⁱ designs, driven by the new LTEⁱ standards, is further increased as MIMO systems scale up to 8x8 configurations. Moreover, other requirements such as beamforming and carrier aggregation drive the need for test solutions that provide deep insight within these multiple domains.

This webinar entitled "Small Cells and Backhaul Deployment Strategies" was presented by Maravedis-Rethink and Andy Sutton, Principal Network Architect at EE.

Mobilityⁱ is an essential part of LTEⁱ technology due to LTE's initial hotspot deployment. This webinar will provide insight into mobility procedures in LTE and relevant measurement events. It will also explain aspects of handovers from LTE to 3G or 2G with an active IP multimedia subsystem (IMS)-based voice call (voice over LTE, VoLTE) known as single radio voice call continuity (SRVCCⁱ).

With LTE infrastructure upgrades in full swing, mobile network operators around the globe are getting ready to migrate their voice infrastructures away from circuit-switched networks to all-packet VoLTE GSMA standards with rich communications services such as presence and IM.

This webcast starts by covering the basics of MIMOⁱ then discusses the fundamentals of LTEⁱ-Advanced including the main features of Release 10, carrier aggregation, clustered SC-FDMA and more.

With millions of hotspots deployed around the world, and ever growing integration of Wi-Fi into wireless devices, Wi-Fi is rapidly becoming ubiquitous. This webinar discusses the Wi-Fi evolution, its critical role in addressing the looming 1000x data challenge, enabling smart connected homes, and exciting new frontiers it is poised to explore.

RCR Wireless News Editor-in-Chief Dan Meyer and guests look at current regulatory environment faced by the cellular industry and how governments are interacting with the wireless market in order to better serve increasing consumer appetite for mobile services as well as handling requirements for the public safety space.

This webinar will illustrate how to establish and test an LTEⁱ video transmission link. Additionally, and equally importantly, it will show how the quality of the video transmission links can be measured under real-life propagation conditions and which metrics can be used to accomplish this task.
