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.
Aimed at the engineers, contractors, and project managers who are destined to be directly involved in these mobile network upgrades, the seminars will look to impart a better understanding of the commercial and technical implications of LTE (Long Term Evolution) deployment. Those attending will gain insight into the nature of the problems likely to be encountered in testing these next generation networks, as well as being informed of emerging standards and future technology developments.



Representatives 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.”
