Overview

This version of the CCI Bi-Sector^TM Wideband Array is a four port antenna, with four wide High Band ports (two per beam) covering 1695-2690 MHz. The CCI Bi-Sector^TM array uses a pair of CCI’s High Performing Patented Asymmetric 33° Shaped Beams in the High Band frequencies. The CCI Bi-Sector^TM Array thus provides the capability to deploy Dual (over split beams) 2×2 Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) in the High Band. The CCI Bi-Sector^TM Array utilizes two RET controllers, with a separate RET controller for each of CCI’s Patented Asymmetric 33° Shaped Beams.

The CCI Bi-Sector^TM Wideband Array, allow operators to reduce antenna count and replace existing 65° networks, while increasing cell site capacity and LTE data throughput by minimizing overlap between CCI’s Patented Asymmetric 33° Shaped Beams. This design approach lowers interference between sectors. All of this is achieved through a single panel array, producing significant CAPEX and OPEX cost savings for the operator.

CCI antennas are designed and produced to ISO 9001 certification standards for reliability and quality in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.

Applications

With CCI’s Bi-Sector^TM Wideband Antenna, wireless operators can connect multiple platforms to a single antenna, reducing tower load, lease expense, deployment time and installation cost
Ideal Antenna Solution for structurally constrained sites, where data throughput, capacity and limited spectrum is a concern
Dual (over split beams) 2x2 MIMO in High Band
Ready for Network Standardization on 4.3-10 connectors
