Network Infrastructure

This webinar will focus on the issues surrounding the “Total Installed Cost” (TIC) of Backbone/Riser fiber cabling. We will explore the contributing factors to variability of TIC, focusing on field termination skill and the impact of permanent link testing on the individual connector PASS/FAIL decision making process (via a mathematical model).

We will also review the development of new tools and novel methods to mitigate errors that estimate Insertion Loss (IL) in field terminated connectors, including new “expert system” technology deployed to test connector IL during the termination sequence.

Moving to a hybrid-cloud strategy offers many benefits like flexibility and agility but can also bring challenges to securing your network and infrastructure as the traditional data center perimeter dissolves.

White boxes may be general purpose, low-cost and easy to commoditize, but they lack many OAM functions and connectivity options that cannot always be virtualized, yet are still required by operators. In this webinar, we will explain how to bridge these gaps by supplementing universal CPEs (uCPEs) with universal access, enhanced performance monitoring and diagnostics, legacy TDM service support, and 1588 timing synchronization. We will also share typical use cases based on real-live experience of tier 1 operators using white boxes for virtualized business services today.

Public safety is moving from outdated communication systems to 4G LTE to meet the need for data in daily operations and emergency situations. However, public safety cannot move to public safety LTE with current commercial LTE architectures because commercial LTE has coverage gaps in areas that may not be commercially viable.

Parallel Wireless Public Safety LTE communication solution provides a unified resilient LTE network for police, fire, ambulance, and armed forces in tactical operations, emergencies, and day-to-day communication – all at much lower cost. It can even be deployed instantly in ad hoc scenarios as a deployable/man portable solution!

Please join us on June 20 at 9:00am EDT for a not-to-be-missed webinar where we will discuss our public safety LTE solution which has been installed in 25+ global military, police, and fire deployments and has been selected by a public safety LTE network in Europe.

In this webinar, you will learn how Parallel Wireless innovative Public Safety LTE architecture addresses the needs of network control, coverage everywhere, and resilience while allowing graceful and cost-effective migration to LTE.
