As demand for mobile broadband services continues to explode, network densification plays a significant role in meeting capacity needs. Detailed planning is required to take advantage capacity gains small cells provide. Planning must include:
DGS mobile and fixed solutions act as long-term, passive listening devices, aggregating RAN data. Traffic and quality data are analyzed for the carrier, as well as its competitors. Acquired knowledge is combined with more traditional datasets, highlighting areas where additional infrastructure will assist with capacity. Analysis also provides clarity regarding the underlying sources of chronic and intermittent interference impacting performance.
DGS technology assists mobile network providers with their current challenges regarding densification and is well positioned to help with the future of connectivity.
