Andy Germano, VP of the Small Cell Forum, moderates a panel discussion of in-building coverage from both the LTE network and distributed antenna systems.

Telecom software is increasingly being used by mobile operators to manage the customer experience. The need for more advanced platforms has been caused by the growing use of various networks and technologies to handle the data and voice demands of consumers.

In the past 12 months, research around 5G wireless communications has gained significant momentum. Aspects discussed include how to define the overall use cases and constituent technology elements in order to fulfill the anticipated demanding requirements.

Filmed during the 3GPP Plenary - TSG#65 - this video gives some indication of the status of the current releases in 3GPP and some of the key features that are being considered.

IBM, Intel and SpiderCloud Wireless join RCR Insights host Martha DeGrasse to discuss the role of small cells in edge computing.

The demand for controllers to help manage the growth of Diameter signaling continues to expand as traffic on next-gen networks, especially LTE networks, skyrockets. The Diameter signaling protocol enables AAA, policy control, and charging for mobile broadband and IMS.

David Oberholzer, Director of Wireless Business Development for Fujitsu, discusses the company's activities in the small cell market.

As femto cells become more ubiquitous it is essential to provide seamless mobility between macro and femto cells to reap the full benefits and improve user experience. Qualcomm Research's active hand-in for UMTS small cell solution offers a seamless connection in addition to several other benefits.

George Reed, Sr. VP of Solutions and Marketing for Huawei Technologies USA the company's fixed wireless TD-LTE solution. This EPC-free product has core functionality integrated into eNB--Certification, authentication, networks access.

Rebecca Prudhomme, VP of product and solutions marketing with Amdocs, spoke with RCR Wireless News on how mobile operators can drive further monetization of their LTE networks. This include the rollout of premium services and the option for enhanced data speeds.

BroadbandWorldForum interviews EE's Director of RAN development and programmes, Mansoor Hanif.

This Rohde & Schwarz webinar presents the technical background to VoLTE (based on IMS) and explains how to measure voice quality in live networks. It also illustrates the impact of radio conditions and IP impairments (e.g. jitter or audio delay) to audio quality. The main focus is on the field testing aspects of VoLTE.

One of the leading use cases for carrier network virtualization is the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) core. Service providers, particularly mobile operators planning for voice over LTE (VoLTE), are looking toward network functions virtualization (NFV) to scale services up and down quickly and to better align costs with network usage.
