Coverage and Capacity Expansion

Maximize Network Performance and Increase Revenues

The pressure on Networks to maximize the assets and increase revenues means that increasing capacity and coverage is a key driver. However there are often constraints such as tower loading, planning permission, installation issues which are difficult and expensive to overcome. Traditional combining to add capacity to the existing infrastructure introduces losses which shrinks coverage significantly. There is, however, a simple, cost effective Active combining solution which overcomes these and can lead to increased quality, coverage, capacity and revenues. This is a modular active combiner system based on Single Carrier Power Amplifier technology compatible with most OEM Base Stations and combines multiple Radio channels into common antenna ports without suffering combiner losses.

Features and Benefits

  • Ideal for network growth allowing capacity expansion with additional radio channels without reducing the initial coverage
  • Can expand existing coverage and overcome existing losses, reducing site count by up to 30% and reducing need for repeaters
  • Fully EDGE compatible improving data throughput and increasing Revenue
  • Ideal for spectrum re-farming for example using 1800 MHz to replace 900 MHz sites
  • Extends the life of existing equipment thereby yielding higher return on investment
  • A simple add-on to existing Base Station equipment
  • Solutions for GSM, EDGE and CDMA networks
  • Small equipment size, for indoor or outdoor deployment
  • Modular design makes it scalable and future-proof
  • Can be used to free up feeder lines for 3G implementation
  • Rapid deployment, all equipment ground base so no tower work
  • Lower cost – The solution is significantly less cost than alternatives and less than 1 yr payback
