CommScope Six Sector Solution antenna system

CommScope has an antenna system that enables wireless operators to increase capacity at the cell site.

The Six Sector Solution, part of the Andrew portfolio, uses advanced antenna technology that can make site acquisition and installation easier by enabling the use of three antennas where six were previously needed.

Implementation provides almost twice the capacity, increases the gain of each sector by 3 dB for better building penetration and mitigates interference for higher data throughput.

The system uses sector sculpting, an approach to antenna pattern shaping that carves out more capacity, improves coverage and limits interference.

Sector sculpting boosts network performance by better controlling interference between sectors and increasing the number of accessible subscriber channels.

The antenna system can radiate multiple, tightly defined RF patterns from one antenna unit.

It uses twin beam base station antennas as the primary enabling technology for sector-splitting with three antennas. Twin beam antennas generate two RF beams from one antenna meaning three antennas can do the work of six, saving on tower leasing and decreasing wind loading.
