CommScope claims to have an antenna which can be used by operators to add spectrum and bandwidth to mobile networks.
The family of ultra-wideband basestation antennas are designed to address the needs of operators for bandwidth growth and additional radio spectrum availability in the future.
“This familiy of ultra-wideband antennas will be very beneficial for the forward-looking operator who may need to deploy additional radio frequency spectrum and support higher bandwidth demands in the future,” said Ray Butler, v-p product line and engineering.
The company says the single antenna which is designed for the 1710-2690 MHz frequency range will support additional licensed frequencies that are not currently available.
"In the past, the operator would have had to deploy two or three separate antennas in order to support the same amount of bandwidth,” said Butler.
The High-Bandwidth (HW) family of ultra-wideband basestation antennas are available in three different configurations of two, four or six dual-polarization radiating arrays under a single radome.
The forward-looking design of the HW family provides a unique set of benefits, including:
Each antenna in the HW family can be deployed in a variety of 2G, 2.5G, 3G and 4G environments, including LTE, UMTS, CDMA, GSM, and WiMAX. Operators can upgrade or switch to different technologies or frequencies as their needs change.
