Electromagnetic Technologies Industries (ETI) announced the introduction of a new series of antennas for WiMAX. The new antennas are scalable, ranging from 2 to 12 beams and offer single and dual polarization - vertical and horizontal operating capability. As an example, from one antenna/single cell site 72 beams can be deployed in six sectors. The antennas operate at high frequencies of up to 11 GHz and at the most common frequencies of WiMAX profiles.
The antenna system’s scalability allows the operators and service providers to meet the continued and/or sudden capacity growth demands without installing new antennas and associated processes. The antennas provide high data throughput, larger customer capacity and increased spectral efficiency with minimal number of cell sites. These high performance antenna solutions will meet the WiMAX systems challenges and enhance overall network performance while reducing CAPEX and OPEX over traditional WiMAX systems costs.
