2020 has seen a surge in demand for data – greater bandwidth and ultra-fast download speeds coupled with a new definition of network reliability. What’s next in 2021?

With this demand, the question of scalability becomes increasingly critical as we explore emerging broadband network infrastructures and the essentials in a fiber optic installer’s toolkit for navigating a 5G-ready world.

"The Perfect Union: 5G and Small Cells” podcast will touch on why small cell deployment is so critical to a 5G network. Discover how utilizing Radio Access Networks (RAN) ultra-densification, large unused BW of millimeter-Wave (mmWave), Citizens Broadband Radio Services (CBRS) and advanced technologies such as beamforming will enable a successful 5G rollout.

Today’s broadband networks are an ever-changing work in progress, but the manner in which they are deployed doesn’t have to be. In this informative podcast from Preformed Line Products (PLP), you’ll hear tips on how to future proof your network and learn firsthand how PLP’s product design teams focus on adaptability throughout the product life cycle.

Understanding the challenges from modeling, to design and build are critical to a successful RDOF award and deployment. Having the right partner to help navigate will make the difference. Join Larry Hamilton, Congruex Vice President Sales – Central Region, as he discusses the key considerations and solutions.

5G will bring about significant change in the way fiber-based fronthaul and radio access networks are built and operated. Managing change without impacting mobile network performance while keeping OPEX in check will be key to a successful transformation. In this podcast, we will delve into some of the challenges service providers may face and discuss how testing will support the 4G to 5G RAN evolution.

A conversation exploring how design decisions affect the overall project life-cycle in the ICT industry.
