Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

NETSCOUT will conduct Continuous Wave (CW) testing in indoor and outdoor locations to characterize signal propagation behavior in various morphologies. (dense urban, urban, suburban, commercial, and industrial) in the area of the experiment. Additionally, NETSCOUT will characterize RF penetration properties for different building types within these morphologies.
