SRK 2020

ABSTRACT
EXFO’s team of experts have been supporting forward-thinking network operators and equipment vendors worldwide in their 5G trials and deployments—helping them successfully move from lab to live. This presentation will be about the lessons learned from these first 5G deployments and more specifically on the difference between 4G and 5G and the new testing challenges. Topics covered in the presentation:
- Where are we at with 5G?
- 5G vs. 4G ecosystem―demystifying 5G technologies and requirements
- Why installation and maintenance of the fiber optic network is critical for the success of 5G transport
- 5G testing challenges: how to efficiently manage and maintain 5G rollouts and deliver the stringent QoS performance results required (e.g., timing and synchronization, latency, reliability)
