In Innovation Martlesham's February webinar, Neil Collier, Technical Director at GCH Test & Computer Services Ltd explains how the Radio access network (RAN) is moving to a packet switched architecture to increase bandwidth efficiency and add flexibility. This introduces new issues such as delay variation and packet loss, which causes problems with timing protocols and latency sensitive applications. This means the RAN hardware and applications must be thoroughly tested and validated.

He explains why performing packet captures with the highest precision time-stamps between different RAN elements is absolutely critical for timely troubleshooting and debugging of issues.
