This was so stated by Luiz Cesar Oliveira, Viavi VP of Sales for Americas, in dialogue with Convergencialatina. The company, dedicated to infrastructure testing, participates in what is now the main activity in 5G: laboratory trials before being brought to the field. "The concern of operators in Latin America is the coexistence and interoperability with what they already have. The core of the network will be 4G. Then there is concern about the coexistence of frequencies and interoperability with existing services, for example, video services, which require tests on possible interference", he said.
At the Barcelona fair, Viavi showed its "Lab to Field" portfolio this week, which includes testing the entire 5G life cycle, from base stations validation and IoT emulation in the laboratory to performance verification in the field and service assurance.
