Commscope: Filters Solutions to Simplifying Network Evolution
Filters Solutions to Simplifying Network Evolution
I. Ultra-Compact Combiners
1. What do they offer?
A) Simplification
- Simplify RF connectivity in the RF Path between the antenna and radios, supporting multiple bands
- Deploy more bands in small spaces to support migration paths to 4G and 5G
B) Compact Design
- 40 to 60% smaller size compared to traditional combiners
- Light weight makes it easier to install in smaller spaces
C) Performance
- They are equipped with smaller connectors, which improve PIM performance and further ease installation
D) Multiple Applications
- Small cells (indoor and outdoor)
- Lamp poles
- Macro sites not requiring TMAs
2. Ultra-Compact Combiners for small cell infrastructure
- more capacity with less complexity
- simplify connectivity between antennas and radios
- support multiple bands
- support LTE bands and provide a migration path to 5G
II. Tower mounted amplifiers to boost coverage footprint in rural areas
1. Values of quality TMAs
A) Balance network
B) Improve BTS sensitivity
C) Reduce dropped calls
D) Increase cell capacity
E) Offset insertion losses of RF cables, jumpers
F) Ensure optimum coverage for cell edges, weak spots and indoor locations
G) Enable high order modulation for higher traffic capacity and lower battery drain
