The CCI RET Series Hybrid Multi Band Antenna Array is an LTE ready hybrid phased array that supports multiple sectors (one low band, two high bands) from a single antenna and provides capability for 700 MHz , SMR 800 MHz, Cellular 850 MHz, 900 MHz, PCS 1900 MHz, AWS/AWS-3 1695/2180 MHz and WCS 2300 MHz coverage in a single, compact enclosure. Our unique hybrid design, 6 ft (1.8 m) high and 13.7 inches (0.3 m) wide, combining standard 65° and patented bi-sector technology, maximizes coverage in a standard tri-sector cell plan, provides optimized overlap between pairs of asymmetric beams, lowers soft handover losses in UMTS/HSPA+ and CDMA/EVDO systems, and minimizes interference between sectors. Such an approach enhances data transfer rates within UMTS/LTE and EVDO network sectors and addresses “hotspots” in mobile wireless operator networks for SMR, GSM, CDMA, UMTS and LTE technologies.
The remote electrical tilt (RET) Series Multi Band Hybrid Bi-Sector^TM Array enables operators to remotely control the electrical down-tilt of the antenna in the field with sealed AISG compliant RET actuators. The CCI RET system is designed to meet the reliability, flexibility and efficiency requirements in a wide range of environments. The RET actuators are fully AISG compliant, software upgradeable, daisy chaining capable and fully weather resistant. The remote electrical capability allows independent adjustment of sub-beams for easier optimization.
The single panel design of the hybrid phased array offers the opportunity to reduce antenna count and directly replaces an existing 65° antenna. The new coverage that matches the existing footprint minimizes the need for optimization and adjacent site changes, and allows for significant CAPEX and OPEX cost savings. CCI antennas are designed and produced to ISO 9001 certification standards for reliability and quality in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.
