In a typical wireless lab, there are usually many testing projects underway simultaneously. New network features, vendor firmware upgrades and device performance testing are just some examples of the competing demands on expensive lab resources.
In today's rapidly evolving telecommunications industry, characterized by advancements such as Open RAN and AI/ML applications, reproducing probable network scenarios to validate the functionality and performance of products, solutions, and policies presents a significant challenge.
Acentury is pleased to announce the first LAMTA deployment with a North American Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP). As a fixed wireless internet service provider, this client is a key contributor to Canada’s Connectivity Strategy, which is a plan to connect 95% of Canadians to high-speed internet by 2026, and 100% by 2030. The strategy aims to provide universal broadband access, improve mobile wireless coverage, and support innovation and digital adoption.
In the world of telecommunications, innovation often springs from necessity. A tier 1 mobile operator faced challenges when trying to accommodate separate radios operating in different bands for their in-building DAS projects.
Wireless labs can often have many Remote Radio Units or Remote Radio Heads (RRUs/RRHs) to manage. To conduct testing, these RF ports are connected to RF attenuation equipment before being routed to RF testing stations.
Acentury Inc. played a vital role in empowering mobile carriers to enhance their network coverage within the TTC. RF attenuators are essential components that control and manage signal strength, ensuring optimal connectivity within tunnels and stations.
