In this webinar we have Dr. Vladan Jevremovic, our senior director of research look beyond the marketing hype and dive into the technical details of 5G.

5G Networks, also known as 3GPP Release 16 (Phase 1) and Release 17 (Phase 2), promise to bring many technical innovations to the field of cellular technologies. The new networks will be able to provide a wide range of diverse applications, from asynchronous, low data rate applications targeting Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) communications, to very high data rate low latency applications such as video gaming, and everything in between. 5G networks will branch out to millimeter wave band (24-52 GHz) for opportunistic deployments where vehicular mobility is not a requirement (residential areas, indoor and outdoor hotspots, stadiums), while more traditional mobile coverage will be in the sub 7GHz band.

Specifically, we are discussing:

• Key 5G features
  • Numerology
  • Bandwidth Partitioning
  • Slot Formats
• 5G Signals
  • Reference Signals
  • Synchronization Signals
  • Coreset
• Layer 1 measurement capabilities.

As you probably know, there are many terms used interchangeably within Wi-Fi that often lead to confusion for both the industry and customers alike.

So let's review the Wi-Fi terms we use and when we use them. For example, isn't it time to stop calling it a survey when we really mean design? And when we talk about survey, are we in the pre-deployment or the post-deployment stage? What about that oxymoron "predictive survey"? Should we just drop the term survey all together? I'm confused even while writing these questions.

Join Wi-Fi expert Alan Blake as he talks about what Wi-Fi surveying is, what Wi-Fi design is and how we can better clarify the terminology confusion through each critical phase of the Wi-Fi network design process.

While RF coverage at open air stadiums may be provided by surrounding macro networks, such densely populated venues require exceptional signal quality and enormous capacity to support 4G data usage. These requirements are best fulfilled by building a wireless network inside the stadium, with its own cluster of NodeBs / Base Station sectors.

Designing an in-building wireless network for stadiums presents a unique set of challenges, such as:

• 3D modeling of multilevel stadium
• Stadium sectorization planning
• Detailed site survey
• Sector overlap management
• Macro interference management
• Capacity dimensioning
• Defining RF coverage area
• Passive intermodulation (PIM)
• Macro handoff management

Most subway routes in core urban areas are located deep underground, where macro cellular coverage is non-existent. In big cities worldwide, hundreds of thousands of commuters depend on the subway (or Métro, MTR, MRT, U-bahn, Underground, etc.) on a daily basis. They need dedicated wireless networks to stay connected. First responders also need reliable public safety networks in subways stations and tunnels. Subway systems are one of the most challenging environments for wireless network design.

• 3D modeling of multilevel transit stations
• Capacity dimensioning for rush hour
• In-building system sectorization
• Uplink noise control
• Equipment location (ease of maintenance vs. installation cost, vandalism concerns)
• Environmental challenges (metallic objects, damp conditions, AC instabilities)
• Dependence on simulation due to inaccessibility to real environment (24/7 subway service)

Collecting RF data during a site survey is critical for providing optimal indoor network designs and understanding the existing RF environment is the first step in creating an excellent wireless network design. Integrating RF data into wireless designs has traditionally been a manual and error prone process that can take hours.

Welcome to the new era of RF data collection, where your mobile device becomes your field-based design tool and where integrating this data into an in-building design is now done with a simple click of the mouse. In this webinar, you will learn from industry experts on how to simplify and automate your RF collection and integration process, saving you hours of tedious data processing and import steps.

Demand for data is skyrocketing and more operators are offloading data traffic to less expensive, and more flexible, small cell and Wi-Fi networks. Especially in crowded venues.

But the problem is there’s currently no way to design the high quality HetNets needed to handle the cellular offload. The cellular teams use one tool to design and the Wi-Fi teams use another. Which is exactly why we’ve completely reinvented the core of our industry standard design software to be just as good at Wi-Fi as it is for cellular.

When it comes to indoor DAS, Small Cells or Wi-Fi networks, site surveys are instrumental in ensuring optimum designs, but typical processes can be overly complex, time-consuming and labor-intensive. As a result, integrators are increasingly looking for proven and effective strategies to simplify data collection, save time pre-and post-surveys, and ultimately improve their ROI (Return On Investment).

In this exclusive presentation, you’ll hear from two leading system integrators and learn, through concrete examples, how they have managed to increase productivity while reducing their costs and accelerating their operational performance, from the initial site survey and all the way to deployment and operations.

More specifically, our panelists have discussed:

• How to optimize the design and deployment process;
• How to minimize miscommunication across the development team;
• Practical examples of cost savings and operational efficiency.
