5G Deployment

As 5G service providers, field technicians, and contractors move from trials to full scale deployment, they need intuitive and easy-to-use testing solutions. These teams need tools for antenna alignment, OTDR, spectrum analysis and 4G/5G radio, fiber inspection, fiber verification, and coax sweep to make the job easier. From installation testing to FTTA and antenna alignment, we have all your cell site testing needs covered.

5G impacts all elements of the network. From fronthaul to backhaul, 5G uses fiber optics as a base for new high-speed communications. The transition from copper and coax to fiber plays a critical role in the 5G revolution (beyond LTE). A new generation of testing solutions is required for 5G deployment, installation, and maintenance to accommodate the existing 4G infrastructure. 

As 5G network deployments accelerate, testing must evolve as well. New network technologies and architectures require new testing techniques driven by a growing demand for faster, more responsive, and more reliable networks. For 5G, synchronization and timing are critical to network performance, so accurate and effective testing is key. We offer a wide range of test equipment ranging from fiber optics and network transmission testing to drive test and cell site support.

5G carriers perform live testing of mobile networks to verify network coverage and quality. Drive Testing actively measures traffic channel beams, Quality of Service (QoS), Quality of Experience (QoE), mobility and interoperability. Common measurements for LTE and prior generations include signal strength, transmission power, and uplink and downlink throughput. With the introduction of new frequency bands, we provide solutions for both FR1 (sub-6GHz) and FR2 (mmWave) requirements.
