FieldFox and Nemo Handy

Overcoming 5G network challenges

5G Network Installation and Troubleshooting Problems

5G network operations are unique, bringing with them a set of network troubleshooting issues:

• 5G typically anchors on the 4G LTE control channel, this means that 4G performance will impact 5G performance.

• Data consumption occurs inside buildings making 5G deployment challenging.

• 5G infrastructures need to work with existing indoor networks, including indoor distributed antenna systems and remote radios.

Efficiency and reliability are critical for 5G network field deployment. Addressing installation and troubleshooting issues requires a specific set of tools: multi-function, field proof, and lightweight.

5G Network Tools for Accurate Results

An ideal solution is the Keysight FieldFox handheld analyzer and the Keysight NEMO handy handheld analyzer to enable RF operations teams to quickly deploy the 5G network to identify any interference issues quickly.
