Andrew Solutions is offering its SmartBeam base station antenna system to help operators evolve their wireless networks.
The agile network solution is touted to make adding capacity and optimizing coverage cost-effective and responsive to customer demand.
Andrew VP Philip Sorrells said SmartBeam’s breakthrough beam fanning technology frees network planners from the relatively limited choices they have in sectorization.
SmartBeam offers three levels of base station antenna pattern adjustments —beam tilting, panning, and fanning — which can be conducted from a central office via Andrew’s antenna network management system.
