Mobile Network Test Seminars - 7th, 8th & 9th February 2012

The three seminars, which will take place in Coventry, Rome and Milan, are aimed at the engineers and engineering managers involved in the migration of mobile networks to 4G technology or optimisation of 3G networks. Representatives from both Kaelus and Rohde & Schwarz will give in-depth presentations on key topics relating to deployment of next generation mobile network infrastructure. There will also be demonstrations of these companies’ latest models.



Attendees will be informed of the various factors that are starting to impinge on the performance of modern base stations, resulting in increased noise floors, lower performance and reduced data throughput rates. The presenters will then be able to pass on their extensive technical knowledge and experience of how to deal with such issues and thereby maximise the effectiveness of network operations.



“With exacting demands currently being placed on the data capacity of mobile networks, it is vital to ensure that base stations are operating at maximum efficiency levels,” states Philippe Suel, Marketing Director of Livingston. “Through investing in technology-led seminars such as these, Livingston, Kaelus and Rohde & Schwarz are all showing a very strong commitment to supporting the telecom engineering community in what are difficult times.”

7th February - Best Western Plus Windmill Village, Birmingham Road, Coventry, CV5 9AL



8th February - Rohde & Schwarz Italia,Via Tiburtina 1095, 00156 Rome
