MTI Wireless Edge Develops Innovative Multi-Band Antenna Systems for 5G Networks, in Collaboration with Nokia
MTI (News - Alert) Wireless Edge is developing, in partnership with Nokia, a set of
innovative, ultra-high availability wide-band and multi-band antenna
systems for small cell and 5G cellular backhaul and fronthaul.
As mobile data requirements increase, largely driven by next generation
4G and 5G networks, new high-capacity frequencies, such as the E-band
(80GHz), and carrier aggregation techniques are being implemented for
cellular backhaul.
MTI Wireless Edge (News - Alert) has developed a groundbreaking multi-band antenna
solution providing the combined benefits of high bandwidth, increased
availability and long range as well as lower Capex and Opex during
implementation. This state of the art antenna integrates 18 GHz and 80
GHz frequencies into one Dual Band 2 ft. parabolic antenna.
The integration of these two frequencies into one antenna provides
several distinct advantages:
-
Very high capacity & long distance - 80 GHz provides high data rates
for backhaul and fronthaul while 18 GHz provides long distance with
high availability.
-
Reduced installation csts - by installing only one antenna instead of
two, installation costs, tower rental and antenna costs are all
reduced.
-
Simplified installation - using the 18 GHz to point the antenna in the
correct direction and fine tuning for the 80 GHz provides a much
easier and faster installation process compared to installing two
antennas.
In addition, MTI is developing a family of wide-band antenna solutions
for 4G/5G dense small cell backhaul in the 21 - 26 GHz range utilizing
small form factor, parabolic antennas providing street level backhaul of
a few hundred meters which can be easily deployed with minimal space
requirements.
As part of its strategic developments towards 5G, network equipment
vendor Nokia (News - Alert) is co-funding this project and will integrate MTI
multi-band and wide-band antennas in their next-generation microwave
transport portfolio to support Carrier Aggregation. MTI antennas will be
showcased on the Nokia booth during Mobile World Congress (News - Alert) 2017.
