Communication Components Inc. (CCI) has added next-gen 4x4 MIMO Antennas to its Multi-Beam antenna portfolio. Creating faster and increased data throughput, CCI’s Multi-Beam Antennas with 4x4 MIMO support enables mobile speeds in excess of 1Gbits/s to be achieved on current LTE networks and future 5G networks.
Having introduced the world's first 6-beam 4x4 MIMO Antenna earlier in the year, the latest innovation now extends 4x4 capability to 3-beam and 9-beam solutions. CCI’s Multi-Beam Antenna portfolio is one of the largest on the market, containing 3, 6, or 9 independent LTE optimized beams with 4×4 MIMO capability or conversely double the amount of independent LTE optimized beams with 2×2 MIMO capability, or any other combination of 4×4 MIMO/2×2 MIMO systems required, providing unapparelled frequency and MIMO configuration capability.
Building on the global success of their trail-blazing Multi-Beam Antennas, the new breed provides full 4x4 MIMO functionality in operator networks to match the latest devices, achieving speeds and thrusting capacity up to levels which can even surpass massive MIMO throughput and capacity in stadium, arena, and pedestrian deployment scenarios.
From mass transit & population sites like the US Indy500, or airports and rail stations such as London’s Paddington Station to country-wide capacity projects, the CCI Multi-Beam Antennas are an essential part of delivering quality high capacity technology as data demand increases.
Recently used in emergency responses such as the UK’s NHS Covid-19 Nightingale Hospital, early adopters include Norwegian operators who installed 4x4 MIMO 6 Beam Antennas permanently at Holmenkollen in Oslo to maintain year-round connectivity for the thousands of large crowds who visit the Ski Jump and Museum.
CCI Multi-Beam Antennas have been optimized for OFDMA LTE/5G networks, support options for full LTE spectrum support, and will extend to the high-frequency 5G bands in the future.
