CPRIAdvisor is an interference monitoring solution comprising a stationary cell-site probe (CAP-100), optional expansion modules (CAE-100) to increase monitoring port density for distributed antenna systems (DAS) or centralized radio access network (RAN) topologies, and a remote management program (CAM-100) that controls the probes and monitors test results.
Benefits
-
Visibility: CPRIAdvisor increases RF visibility by performing continuous monitoring of the mobile spectrum and allowing remote access to expedite maintenance and problem resolution
-
Scalability: CPRIAdvisor is based on network probes with RF over Fiber (RFoFiber) technology, and can de-map RF components from fiber front-haul (CPRI or OBSAI) with flexibility in port density, providing solutions for any type of cell-site. Whether it is a macro cell with a smaller number of front-haul fiber links or a large DAS/C-RAN with hundreds of front-haul links, CPRIAdvisor solution can handle both.
-
Efficiency: Depending on the network configuration, CPRIAdvisor can save more than 50% in terms of time and cost by offering unmatched maintenance efficiencies, and ultimately providing better mobile services and end user experience.
