The Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) Actuator is part of Communication Component Inc.’s complete RET System. The RET Actuator enables optimization on a continuous basis of the sector coverage pattern. It provides an RS485 control interface which is AISG 2.0 compatible. The RET Actuator when used with a Site Control Unit (SCU) or an AISG Compliant BTS enables remote fine tuning of the Site footprint without requiring a tower climb. The continuous adjustment capability allows changes to the antenna downtilt pattern to suit network optimization, changing traffic patterns or seasonal changes such as foliage absorption.

The Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) Actuator from CCI consists of an RS485 control interface driving a DC motor with an encoder, which connects to the existing antenna phase shifter that controls downtilt of the antenna pattern. The RET Actuator when used in conjunction with a Site Control Unit (SCU) or an AISG Compliant BTS seamlessly integrates with the carriers existing BTS equipment to achieve the desired performance results. The Remote Electrical Tilt Actuator is designed for outdoor environments and runs off +10 to +30V. CCI’s RET Actuator is Interoperable with all leading BTS Manufacturers including Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia Siemens and others.
CCI RET's are designed and produced to ISO 9001 certification standards for reliability and quality in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.
