ACU-A20-SR
Optimizer RT® Antenna Control Unit AISG 2.0

Rev : A | Rev date : 28 Dec 2018
  • The ACU-A20-SR Antenna Control Unit (ACU) is part of the complete RFS AISG compliant Optimizer RT® remote antenna control system. The ACU-A20-SR has a smaller mounting footprint than previous ACUs. This is important for multi-band antennas with several internally mounted ACUs.
  • The Optimizer RT® remote antenna control system permits accurate antenna tilt operations to be conducted - without riggers or crane equipment - either from the tower base or the network management center.

 

FEATURES / BENEFITS

  • Compliant with AISG standards
  • Enables remote electrical tilt of antennas
  • Smaller footprint than  the ACU-A20-S
