A key aspect of building and maintaining advanced wireless networks is that everything must be tested - RF, fiber, PIM, and other parameters. Network operators must demonstrate to the FCC and to their customers that the network is performing to design specifications.

Portable test equipment used in the field and benchtop instruments used in development labs are very sophisticated, can be very expensive, and must be calibrated periodically to maintain accuracy.

Electro Rent, a leading supplier of test equipment from a variety of manufacturers, offers rental and leasing options while providing calibration and logistics support services.

Jim Platner, VP-Business Operations at Electro Rent speaks to John Celentano, Inside Towers Business Editor on how a test equipment rental/leasing model benefits carriers, tower companies and their contractors.
