Overview

The CCI 12-Port 45° DualBand array is a twelve port antenna, with eight wide mid band ports covering 1695-2690 MHz and four wide low band ports covering 698-960 MHz. The antenna provides the capability to deploy Dual 4×4 Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) in the MB and 4X4 MIMO across low band ports. The CCI 12-Port 45° MB ports have independent tilt control between first and second set of 4X4 MIMO MB antenna arrays.

In this three RET configuration, the 1st RET is dedicated for the four LB ports. The 2nd RET is dedicated to the first 4X4 MIMO MB ports and the 3rd RET is dedicated to the second 4X4 MIMO MB ports. This RET arrangement allows for complete flexibility in coverage control between first and second 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 MB and 4X4 MIMO LB ports
Ready for Network Standardization on 4.3-10 connectors
With CCI’s DualBand antennas, wireless providers can connect multiple platforms to a single antenna, reducing tower load, lease expense, deployment time and installation costs
