Mobile network testing webinars

“I see myself as a technical consultant”, says Arnd Sibila, Technology Marketing Manager. With a master’s degree in electrical engineering and more than 25 years of experience in the wireless communication industry, he is passionate about sharing his expertise on all radio-related technology topics from 2G to 5G to the latest applications, for example, video streaming. Arnd thrives on engagement. Holding seminars, leading training sessions, or giving presentations, Arnd always finds himself deep in discussion with customers. He’s eager to understand their challenges and offer advice and solutions to get more value out of a network.

Manuel Mielke discovered his passion for radio receivers while sitting in a Vodafone drive test van for several months, running network scans with scanners from Rohde & Schwarz. This was during his studies at the University of Applied Sciences in Regensburg, Germany. Today – an electrical engineering degree with a major in wireless communications and a stint at antenna specialist Kathrein later – Manuel finds himself “driving” the R&S scanners: as Product Manager Drive Test Scanners, he defines and shapes their specifications to help customers introduce new radio network technologies and features quickly and efficiently.

Michael Lorenz's ambition is to be a pioneer. The Senior Applications Engineer is always keen to put his hands on the latest technologies and features. When Michael entered the field of mobile communications 15 years ago, Vodafone Germany had just implemented its first 3G test network. After many fundamental research and optimization projects, the technical adventurer with a PhD in physics moved on to Vodafone Group, where he shared his expertise as a trainer in more than 20 markets. Stimulated more by the "why" than the "what", Michael sees himself playing with NB-IoT today and with 5G tomorrow.
