LTE and Wireless web seminar series

Overview:

With increasing deployment of LTE, and with ever-increasing demands for hi-data throughput, we are witnessing faster transition to an all IP based network. While mobile applications continue to dominate demands on the mobile infrastructure, legacy traffic such as voice and services will provide fresh challenges in extracting deterministic performance from an IP based backbone provided by LTE. The new demands on end-to-end IP data performance will require frequent fallbacks from packet to circuit switched mechanisms, and added complexity in handovers between LTE and 2G/3G/3.5G.

This web seminar will discuss the challenges for mobile device developers in transporting voice on packet based networks, the relevance and evolution of VoLTE technologies, and the dependencies on handovers for achieving robust performance. It will also provide insights on testing needs and solutions from Agilent.
 

Who should attend?

Engineers working on LTE, LTE voice, SIP/IMS testing, and voice quality testing.

Overview:

LTE is “hot”. And so is 2G/3G/3.5G led by HSPA+. Both are getting redefined with new thresholds for high data throughput and an IP based transport. Demands on handset developers are unprecedented as they add more radios, implement the latest 4G wireless technologies seamlessly with legacy 2G/3G and support the performance needs of a multitude of applications.  

This web seminar discusses the trends and opportunity with HSPA+, and the challenges faced by handset developers in delivering reliable performance at high data rates. It provides insights on the test needs with dual-carrier HSDPA and HSPA+ implementation.
 

Who should view this webcast:
Wireless device developers working on multiple technologies especially HSPA and LTE.
