RF Design and Engineering Services
NextG Networks' pioneering achievements and substantial patent portfolio
in fiber optics and RF (Radio Frequency) are the foundation of our Distributed
Antenna System (DAS) deployments nationwide. They are the differentiator
that gives NextG's carrier customers a competitive advantage in efficiency,
stability, and capacity. NextG offers comprehensive RF design services to
our service provider customers so they succeed in every network where they
chose to expand coverage, capacity, or services. Our design services include:
- Comprehensive link budget analysis based on hundreds of installed nodes
- Coordinated field visits for equipment and placement decisions in public right-of-way
- Drive testing and drive test analysis for final placement of equipment
- Commissioning
- Optimization of network hardware
- Configuration, setup, and testing of remote units
Before we deploy a network, all equipment goes through NextG's advance staging facility where we configure the RF network equipment that goes in the colocation facility and on the remote sites. NextG's experienced field teams include regional RF engineers who are trained on RF-over-fiber systems, hardware design, and hardware commissioning that set parameters and perform detailed RF testing prior to line call or data tesing.
Though the FCC is ultimately responsible for setting RF safety and emissions standards in the US, our networks produce 50 to 100 times fewer RF emissions and use a small percentage of allowable power relative to alternative technologies. Our distributed antennae systems exceed even the most stringent RF requirements. Because of this, communities, cities, schools, and metro areas around the US have chosen to deploy NextG networks over their other options for supporting additional wireless coverage and capacity.
