Product Release Summary

CommScopes new UltraBand antenna system provides a exible multi-band solution, with extended low band down to 698 MHz. The UltraBand antenna supports low band spectrum of 698960 MHz and ultra broad high band spectrum of 1710-2690 MHz. This allows deployment of all 3GPP (GSM/UMTS/ HSPA/LTE), 3GPP2 (CDMA, EVDO, UWB) technologies and specic WiMAX bands using the same antenna. Operators can reduce the number of antennas in their networks, lowering tower leasing costs while increasing speed to market capability. This UltraBand antenna system is optimized for high performance in capacity-sensitive, data-driven environments. UltraBand utilizes pattern shaping technologies pioneered by Argus, a leader in antenna technology innovation. These antennas also include internal integrated RET on all bands and internal loss-less smart bias tee to allow input of the AISG signal using the antenna RF port, avoiding the need to use AISG jumper cables. Input and output AISG connectors are also provided to allow easy daisy-chaining of antennas.

Product Highlights
Elevation pattern upper sidelobe suppression of typically better than 18 dB across the frequency band and downtilts helps reduce adjacent cell interference and increase data throughput. Nullfill included in the elevation pattern helps maintain signal levels in the coverage area, therefore reducing interference and increasing data throughput. Azimuth beamwidth stability across the frequency band provides better coverage and uniformity of coverage across the band. Horizontally spaced high band array configurations for optimum MIMO performance. Internal Smart Bias Tee allows input of the AISG signal using the antenna RF port, avoiding the need to use AISG jumper cables. The integration of these components in the antenna further reduces the external components and cables that are required on the tower and improves network performance and reliability. No additional phase shift or insertion loss from inclusion of internal Smart Bias Tee for optimum MIMO performance.

Input and Output AISG Connectors included for ease in daisy-chaining RET control to other antennas. Connector caps with O-ring seals for waterproofing connectors not terminated at installation.
