How is interference

impacting your network?

In today’s overcrowded, high-demand RF ecosystem, interference is not just a noisy
nuisance; it can seriously impact a network’s efficiency, capacity and revenue.
Here are just a few of the issues operators should be aware of: CAUSE
Interference that affects non-
cellular networks such as public
CAUSE safety and air traffic radar
Increased co-channel and
adjacent channel interference EFFECT
Dropped calls, slow data
EFFECT
throughput, signal latency and dead zones
Operator risks impacting public
that hinder the operator’s ability to meet key
safety
performance indicators (KPIs)

CAUSE CAUSE
Deployment of LTE in order to boost Troubleshooting to identify and
system capacity and performance correct sources of interference
EFFECT
Interference-limited LTE networks reduce EFFECT
operator’s return on 4G investment Time-consuming task requiring allocation of personnel,
equipment and expense

CAUSE
Use of guard bands to prevent ROI
co-channel and adjacent channel EFFECT By planning ahead and having a thorough understanding
interference Valuable bandwidth is wasted of interference, its causes and effects, operators can
on guard bands, lowering the more effectively manage noise to get the most out of their
ROI on spectrum investment network investment.
