Test and Measurement Forum

Free Virtual Event | Tuesday May 19th, 9 AM EST / 2 PM UK

Brought to you by

As the digital landscape evolves, telecommunications networks are under unprecedented pressure. The surge in connected devices, the rollout of 5G and beyond, and the exponential growth in data traffic are pushing infrastructure to its limits. To meet these demands, networks must be meticulously optimized, not just for performance, but to ensure exceptional Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) for end users.

Join RCR Wireless News at the annual Test & Measurement Forum where industry leaders, innovators, and engineers come together to tackle the most pressing test and measurement challenges in telco today. We'll explore the critical need for rapid network validation and deployment, and dive into the cutting-edge technologies reshaping how next-generation networks are tested and assured.

Key Event Themes

Lab and manufacturing testing

As 5G deployments pick up pace, and the variety of 5G use cases evolves, the need for high-quality, high-performing devices which support the network and these new services grows too. We seek to explore the latest updates and solutions regarding quality assurance, meeting standards and regulations and getting devices to market faster to enable 5G at scale.

Field network testing

With new technologies, new frequencies and new equipment, testing the network can be as complex as designing it. We dig into the detail on topics such as preparing to deploy standalone 5G, the need for robust fiber testing, automated test solutions and tackling challenges such as PIM and RF interference.

Service assurance

As carriers look to deploy enterprise private networks, sometimes with hyper-specific requirements, service assurance becomes ever more critical. Consumers are also demanding more from their providers, so quality of the consumer’s experience also comes into play. Key stakeholders will come together to discuss the challenges of SLAs, QoS and the solutions which can help carriers ensure network quality and performance and achieve excellent customer service.
