OctoPort Multi-Band Antenna

OPA65R-BU6A

				Six foot (1.8 m) multiband, eight port antenna with a 65° azimuth beamwidth covering 698-798, 824-896 MHz and 1695-2400 MHz frequencies Four wide high band ports covering 1695-2400 MHz and four frequency specific low band ports covering 698-798 MHz and 824-896 MHz (over a non-distributed diplexer) in a single antenna New enclosure with <12” (305 mm) width, narrowest enclosure in the industry Full Spectrum Compliance for WCS and AWS-3 frequencies and upcoming Band 14 Operations LTE Optimized FBR and SPR performance, providing for an efficient use of valuable radio capacity LTE Optimized Boresight and Sector XPD and USL performance, essential for LTE Performance Exceeds minimum PIM performance requirements Equipped with new 4.3-10 connector, which is 40% smaller than traditional 7/16 DIN connector

Overview

The CCI OctoPort multiband array is an eight port antenna, with four wide high band ports covering 1695-2400 MHz and four frequency specific low band ports covering 698-798 MHz and 824-896 MHz. The antenna provides the capability to deploy 4×4 Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) in the high band and 2x2 Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) across each of the paired low band ports.

With this two RET configuration, the 1^st RET is dedicated for the Low Band ports and the 2^nd RET is dedicated for the High Band ports. With the use of a single RET in the High Band, equal tilt is achieved across all four High Band ports, which ensures optimal 4x4 MIMO performance.

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

Applications

4×4 MIMO for the high band and 2×2 MIMO for the low band
Ready for Network Standardization on 4.3-10 DIN connectors
With CCI’s multiband antennas, wireless providers can connect multiple platforms to a single antenna, reducing tower load, lease expense, deployment time and installation costs
