LTE Testing Seminars - 18th and 20th May 2010
Livingston, Europe’s largest test equipment rental company, is to host two seminars examining the issues mobile service providers face in rolling out 4G across their cellular networks. These events, which have been organised in partnership with leading equipment suppliers EXFO and Rohde & Schwarz, will be held at venues in Manchester and close to London in mid May.
AimeRepresentatives from both EXFO and Rohde & Schwarz will give in-depth presentations on key topics relating to 4G implementation. There will also be hands-on workshops with demonstrations of the best test practices and techniques for determining end-to-end network performance, as well as ample opportunity to converse with highly experienced test professionals. In addition, attendees will get the chance to tour the fascinating museums in which these events will be held.
“With the first commercial LTE deployments now taking place in Stockholm and Oslo, the clock is already ticking. It is imperative that mobile network service providers will be able to acquire comprehensive, real-time data on the performance of their upgraded networks” states Masten Evans, Managing Director of Livingston UK, “the new wave of bandwidth-intensive mobile applications, fuelled by the arrival of smartphone technology, will force them to seek cost-effective, reliable IP/Ethernet centric backhaul solutions that ensure service quality.” “By staging these seminars” he continues “Livingston is showing that it is at the forefront of Europe’s LTE testing activity, and will have a major role to play in its progression.”
