8 WISPAMERICA 2022 I MARCH 14 - 17, 2022 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 1 The Right Closure for the Right Network As demand continues to grow and expand, agile infrastructure is essential. Fiber-splice closures are used throughout the network and are suited for a variety of applications including aerial, pedestal, buried or underground. Closures need to be compatible with various types of cables and be accessible easily for maintenance, updates and expansions. The closures are designed to protect from water and harsh environmental conditions, keeping the components protected and the network up and running. Power & Tell is a stocking distributor for CommScope closures. Innovative gel sealing technology protects your connections inside from water, sand, dust and other contaminants that could degrade optical performance. Numerous re-entries are allowed due to its self-healing capability. his makes maintenance and adding extra customers fast and easy, long after deployment. Benefits of gel sealing technology: • Suitable for aerial, pedestal and underground (manhole or direct buried) • Available for spliced and connectorized closures • Compatible with all fiber types (G652D – G657 series) • Facilitates fast, reliable closure re-entry and re-sealing Outside plant conditions can be harsh. These closures are designed to work and are field tested for: • Moisture resistance — underwater and under pressure • Cable manipulation — axial pull, torsion, flexing, and impact • Optical torsion and bending • Resistance to vibration, temperature, chemical, and UV rays Power & Tel supplies cutting-edge products that provide superior value. For almost 60 years, the company has made it a priority to provide high-quality equipment, while growing as an industry leader in supply chain management, innovation and industry products. Each network has its own trait, Power & Tel can help you find the perfect solution and deploy the right closure in the right place. m https://www.ptsupply.com/manufacturer/ COMMSCOPE-CONNECTIVITY PointLiNQ Tool Reduces CPE Installation Time BLiNQ Networks’ PointLiNQ tool reduces OPEX costs and speeds up fixed wireless network deployments by reducing the installation time of customer premise equipment (CPEs). Its ability to estimate link performance, test throughput and optimize signal quality and then provide performance reports for automated submission to the SAS database makes PointLiNQ one of the most innovative fixed wireless tools in the market. By reducing the overall complexity of installations and automating the SAS registration process, PointLiNQ enables CBRS deployments to scale faster and easier. CPE installation and alignment time can be reduced by up to 80 percent for an inexperienced installer and demonstrates up to 25 percent better throughput in the downlink and 35 percent better in the uplink by using PointLiNQ. Considerable cost savings can be made without the need for ongoing support due to consistently correct and optimized installation for each deployment. Combined with the NetLiNQ Portal that provides location-based lists of active eNodeBs, PointLiNQ takes the guesswork away from an installer and allows those without prior wireless experience to obtain the optimal link performance when installing CPEs. The tool consists of a compact device which attaches to the CPE’s mounting bracket and an advanced app that uses machine learning to optimize the installation process. The device powers the CPE during the alignment process, thus allowing the installer to identify an optimal installation location free of any cabling or extension cords. The device can be recharged fully via USB cable and can support five to six installations with a single charge. The app connects to the device via Wi-Fi and features a user-friendly interface that runs on Android and iOS platforms. The app’s installation and CPE alignment wizard provides location serviceability, list of target eNodeBs and estimates of signal strength and link performance. During the installation, the app guides the installer with detailed alignment instructions and provides real-time KPI reporting to optimize RSRP and SINR. Once the alignment is completed, by a click of a button, all the required CPI information flows through the CPE CBSD agent and automatically requests a grant to transmit from the CBRS SAS. Installation ends with a real-time throughput test and a final report that records all the relevant information for the installation. For deployment of CBRS Band 48 CPEs, PointLiNQ provides single step registration and authorization capability to the SAS database. PointLiNQ is the optimal solution toolset to reduce installation times and eliminate the possibility of errors, in a repeatable practical manner that is unmatched. BLiNQ Networks is a pioneer manufacturer of CBRS-ready fixed wireless hardware, building the technology to provide essential internet connectivity. BLiNQ provides price and performance in LTE and 5G-ready solutions. m For more information visit blinqnetworks.com or visit booth #401.
