RADWIN

RADWIN a developer of Non-Line-of–Sight (NLOS) Small Cell Backhaul solutions – announced its breakthrough patent-pending Drone with Smart Beam-Forming antenna set to completely simplify small cell deployments.

RADWIN offers comprehensive Site Survey Tools to its global small cells customer base. These tools allow carriers to rapidly qualify small cell sites and assess their viability to support NLOS backhaul. There are, however, instances where access to a site is problematic (e.g. when a site is on a rooftop or hard-to-reach street furniture) and highly time-consuming. Now, with the latest addition of a drone that is fully equipped with RADWIN’s Site Survey Tools and utilizing RADWIN’s unique Smart Beam-Forming antenna - the drone can be navigated to reach a potential site at various heights. The RADWIN-based drone scans potential connectivity in 360 degrees coverage in mere seconds while taking into account all parameters to assure accurate site qualification.

RADWIN’s manifesto is to continuously deliver innovative solutions that allow mobile operators to significantly reduce their TCO and simplify operations. With the RADWIN Drone which comes fully equipped with Site Survey Tools and Smart Beam-Forming antenna, carriers can optimize small cell backhaul placement and slash deployment time and costs. They are set to work with their valued partners and leading Tier-1 customers to integrate the RADWIN Drone into the practices applied by carriers for small cell deployments.
