Increasing RF Visibility in Radio Access Networks

　　CPRIAdvisor is an interference monitoring solution that increases RF visibility by performing continuous monitoring of the mobile spectrum, and allowing remote access to expedite maintenance and problem resolution.

　　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.
