Talk LTE Implementation on Twitter on June 30

CommScope is hosting a Twitter chat on Tuesday, June 30 at 12 noon EDT, which will explore and offer advice about LTE network implementation. Some of our LTE network experts will discuss the challenges and opportunities of LTE deployment while offering best practice tips.

The @CommScope Twitter account will act as moderator. To join the discussion, just follow the hashtag #COMMtweets during the allotted discussion time. Tweet questions using that hashtag, and our experts will respond. They will also answer questions posed from the @CommScope handle.

Participants from all backgrounds are welcome to join and dialogue with our panel of thought-leaders, which includes network engineering experts Ray Butler, Mike Wolfe and Colin Bryce; head of wireless sales Ben Cardwell; DAS expert Patrick Lau; and VP of strategic marketing Philip Sorrells.

Here are the questions they will address in addition to submissions from participants:

1. What is the most challenging part of implementing LTE in your experience?
2. Why is noise an LTE challenge? What causes noise? How can you mitigate noise?
3. What is PIM? What causes PIM? How can you avoid PIM in the context of LTE?
4. How did LTE change tower cabling?
5. What challenges are involved with deploying fiber to the antenna (FTTA)?
6. Why is DAS important in the context of LTE demand?
7. What are best practices when it comes to deploying distributed antenna systems (DAS)?
8. What is important to keep in mind when considering outdoor site construction? How can infrastructure make or break LTE deployment?
9. What is important to know when selecting antennas for LTE? What are the best antennas for LTE?
