Main Product Introduction
This 12-port multiband antenna is designed for modern “lean” site architecture, where a single antenna must handle multiple generations of technology (700/800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz). The antenna utilizes 4.3-10 connector technology, which reduces overall weight and space while providing a robust, low-PIM interface that is essential for high-speed data throughput.
At the heart of its performance is the integrated Remote Control Unit (RCU). Supporting AISG 2.0 and 3GPP standards, the RET system provides independent electrical downtilt control for all six frequency pairs. This allows engineers to optimize the network’s “soft” footprint from the ground or a remote operations center, adapting to traffic changes or interference patterns in real-time. The mechanical build features a UV-resistant fiberglass radome and heavy-duty mounting hardware capable of withstanding wind speeds up to 216 km/h, ensuring consistent 24/7 reliability in any climate.

Application Scenarios
- High-Capacity 4G/5G Macro Sites: Consolidation of multiple bands into one antenna to save on lease costs and wind load.
- Dynamic Network Optimization: Frequent tilt adjustments in growing urban areas via the AISG RET system.
- Multi-Operator Site Sharing: Allowing different carriers to share a single antenna while maintaining independent tilt control.
- Spectrum Refarming: Supporting legacy 2G/3G bands alongside new 4G/5G NR mid-band deployments.
Product Q&A
- Q: How many independent RET motors does this antenna have?
- A: The antenna features 6 independent RET (Remote Electrical Tilt) controls. This allows you to set the electrical downtilt for the two low-band arrays (R1, R2) and the four high-band arrays (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4) completely separately.
- Q: What is the benefit of the -153dBc PIM rating?
- A: A PIM rating of -153dBc is an industry-leading standard that ensures minimal internal signal interference. This is crucial for high-order modulation (like 256QAM) used in 5G, ensuring the highest possible data speeds for end-users.
- Q: Is the RET system compatible with older AISG 1.1 controllers?
- A: The integrated RCU is designed for AISG 2.0 and 3GPP compliance. While most modern base stations support these protocols, please verify your specific controller’s backward compatibility or contact our technical team for firmware confirmation.
- Q: How does the “Replaceable RCU” feature help with maintenance?
- A: In traditional antennas, a motor failure meant replacing the entire unit. With our field-replaceable RCU, you can swap out the tilt control module at the bottom of the antenna without taking the entire antenna down, saving significant time and crane costs.
