“The business case is strong as HetNets help improve retention and unlock new revenues, but adopting this new model brings many challenges,” David Chambers, Wireless Industry Analyst and founder of ThinkSmallCell. “Orchestrating a seamless service using multiple equipment vendors, introducing new features, software upgrades and configuration parameters all involve risk. Ixia provides a step-by-step approach for validating designs and performance in the lab before and after deployment.” 

“Mobile connections are growing faster than ever before, and media-rich, bandwidth heavy applications are more tightly integrated in day-to-day life. This means that mobile operators must find cost-effective, scalable ways to build and strengthen their networks, and HetNets are the solution,” said Joseph Zeto, Director of Product Marketing, Ixia. “Understanding that these next-generation networks don’t come without risks,Small Cell, Big Challenges helps mobile operators benefit from Ixia’s unique and encompassing insight into validating and optimizing HetNets.”
