Changing Wireless Networks from 2x2 MIMO to 4x2 MIMO
Apr 12, 2016
As we see consumers drive usage even higher, so too are we seeing the demands for wireless data. Therefore, with limitations on capital and operating budgets, the challenge today is to efficiently utilize existing assets. In a recent paper by Mohamed Hamdy, he wrote about one specific option available to network operators, and that is - adding more sectors at macro sites by using multibeam antennas. His "Multibeam Antennas Planning - Limitations and Solutions" white paper considers both technical challenges and possible solutions to deploying multibeam antenna. Multibeam antennas can increase the capacity of a site by reconfiguring a 3-sector...
The "Neutral Host" in DAS Installations
Apr 11, 2016
With Neutral Host in DAS installations, ownership of system is shifted from carrier to a third-party system provider, a DAS integrator, or the building owner. In today's globalized world, the continuing demand for improved technology means there's always a new product or solution which requires a new name, and it can be difficult to keep up with all the terminology. Consequently, introducing Neutral Host DAS. Industry trackers are now saying that DAS installations whether Active or Passive, could easily approximately double or triple by next year. The cost of both deploying and maintaining today's DAS installation is constantly growing. This...
Defining Small Cell in Wireless Industry Networks
Apr 08, 2016
"Small cells" is one of the more recent developments in the wireless industry. In a wireless network, small cells provide both coverage and capacity, indoors and outdoors. Their function in the wireless network is to increase capacity and to achieve higher radio density. What Is a Small Cell? Also known as a small cellular base station, small cells incorporate a few different technologies, but perhaps they are best described as anything that is not a standard macro site. It is the function they play in the wireless network that defines them Their function is to add capacity by shifting traffic...
Sectors, Cells, Multi-Beam Technology in Cellular Coverage Systems
Apr 08, 2016
When discussing cellular radio, a basic hexagon is used to symbolize a complex object, which in this case is the physical area capable of being covered by cellular radio antennas. These hexagonal areas are known as "cells". Using a hexagonal shape allows us to visualize the idea of cells on a map, because the idea is to show an area, without gaps, that is completely covered by radio. We know there will be coverage gaps in a cellular system, but using a hexagonal shape allows us to clearly see how the system is laid out, if only in theory. A...
DAS Maintenance Service & Technical Support 24/7/365
Apr 07, 2016
DAS Monitoring & Maintenance Service Available 24/7/365. It seems that today, we're living in a society that is, "always on". This means that the lines between on and off hours, work and play, have become very blurred. And with today's advanced technology, business is taking place around the world every single hour of every single day. You will even hear people say that they do things at the "speed of business", which means fast paced and at any time of the day. Today's ever-advancing technology allows business to occur worldwide, crossing time zones, and helping people collaborate around the globe....
