URBAN SOLUTIONS

The Evolving Urban Landscape

As the race to 5G intensifies, mobile operators need innovative ways to bring networks closer to customers. But, with 5G radio signals for small cell sites operating at a higher millimeter wave frequency than 4G, they are more easily blocked in a crowded city landscape. The result? Network densification will require more sites and more infrastructure than ever before. Add to this headache, the challenge of managing this expansion without significantly increasing the visible footprint, and low visual impact and concealment become a priority. This needs a total-solution-provider that knows RF and has seen and delivered for every wireless generation.

Small-Size Base Station Antennas

Increase capacity and coverage in dense urban environments

With it widely cited that 80% of mobile data usage originates indoors, small cell networks are ideal to increase capacity and bridge the gap between macro sites and any building or venue where distributed antenna system (DAS) networks are used to support high volumes of network traffic. RFS’ lightweight and versatile small cell base station antennas can be used in neutral-host networks and shared infrastructure deployments to keep costs down and address property owners’ concerns about the aesthetics of large numbers of antennas. We offer antennas ranging in size from 27 cm to 70 cm (1 ft to 3 ft) to support the most space-constrained deployments. And, we have antennas that support all sub-6 GHz frequency bands, including C band, CBRS and LAA spectrum.
