Whether it is the mobile operators themselves or turf vendors, there are multiple challenges to successfully deploying C-band in an ever-crowded RF spectrum and infrastructure landscape. Understanding these challenges and implementing the proper test procedures can ensure C-band helps mobile operators address the ever-growing need for network capacity, spectral efficiency, and an effective migration path to 5G and beyond.
