Designed to assist operators to quickly and efficiently roll out 3GPP LTE
services, Powerwave`s recently introduced 700 MHz antenna line for 4G networks
consists of a single-band antenna covering 698-896 MHz bands and a dual-band
offering covering both the 698-896 MHz and 1710-2170 MHz bands.Offering high
efficiency, low interference and industry-leading gain per length, the wideband
antennas enable Auction 73 winners the flexibility of a graduated and
cost-effective approach to 4G deployment with the added benefit of Powerwave`s
renowned reliability - enabling streamlined installation of new services
leveraging 700 MHz spectrum at existing 800 MHz cell sites without increasing
the number of visible antennas.
Powerwave`s 700 MHz antenna family offers as much as one decibel in gain above
competing offerings, and boasts superior upper side lobe suppression for reduced
site-to-site interference - a critical requirement for 4G networks. Further
differentiating Powerwave`s product line is the ability to provide consistent
performance across frequency bands and down tilts via Powerwave`s patented
Aperture Coupled Patch technology, ensuring steady performance over the entire
band and the elimination of dead zones.
Additional options include fixed electrical tilt support, as well as integrated
remote electrical tilt (iRET) functionality under one antenna radome.
Powerwave`s iRET capabilities deliver maximum performance, improved aesthetics,
and eliminate installation and reliability issues that can occur with typical
exterior remote electrical tilt modules.
