Overview

The CCI 12-Port DualBand array is a twelve port antenna, with eight wide Mid Band ports covering 1695-2400 MHz and four wide Low Band ports covering 689-896 MHz. The antenna provides the capability to deploy Dual 4×4 Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) in the Mid Band and 4X4 MIMO across Low Band ports. The CCI 12-Port Mid Band ports have independent tilt control between top and bottom antenna arrays.

In this three RET configuration, the 1st RET is dedicated for the four Low Band ports. The 2nd RET is dedicated for the four Mid Band ports and the 3rd RET is dedicated for the second four Mid Band ports. This RET arrangement allows for complete flexibility in coverage control between top and bottom Mid Band antenna arrays.

CCI antennas are designed and produced to ISO 9001 certification standards for reliability and quality in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.

Applications

Dual 4×4 MIMO for the Mid Band and 4X4 MIMO Low Band ports
Ready for Network Standardization on 4.3-10 DIN connectors
With CCI’s TriBand antennas, wireless providers can connect multiple platforms to a single antenna, reducing tower load, lease expense, deployment time and installation costs
