As per the latest update, CommScope has forayed into the publishing world by releasing a nearly 200-page e-book – authored by many of its engineers and technical directors – titled Understanding the RF Path. The book reports on complicated technical issues from the wireless communications industry in easy-to-read text, informing wireless engineers, business and marketing professionals, and other industry players about the state and evolution of wireless networks and infrastructure.
“Understanding the RF Path brings the wealth of knowledge about wireless networks that exists inside CommScope out into the world,” said Philip Sorrells, Vice-President, Strategic Marketing, CommScope. “This book has enough technical information in it to satisfy engineers while translating jargon into language the average industry person can understand. Our hope is that this book will preserve and advance knowledge across the wireless industry and beyond.”
“We think there is something for everyone in this book, from a high-level view of the wireless communication industry down to some nitty-gritty physics formulas,” said Sorrells. “Publishing Understanding the RF Path is part of our ongoing effort including the CommScope Infrastructure Academy and Andrew Institute – to educate industry players and promote best practices at the cell site and with other technology applications.”
A self-paced, online course that guides students through the material available in the Understanding the RF Path e-book is available with the CommScope Infrastructure Academy. The CommScope Infrastructure Academy delivers a comprehensive suite of online and in-person training resources to help organizations achieve high-quality infrastructure design and installation. Academy instructors leverage CommScope's proven expertise in solutions for data centers, intelligent buildings, in-building wireless, intelligent infrastructure management and the RF path. CommScope also offers hands-on training courses for wireless network installers and network engineers through the Andrew Institute.
Understanding the RF Path presents knowledge that has been accumulated over the last 75 years at CommScope and companies it acquired, including the former Andrew Corporation. The Andrew name now serves as CommScope’s brand for its complete portfolio of wireless solutions.
