THE BATTLE
OF THE BANDS
Dual-Band Antennas Take the Stage
How to squeeze more juice from limited infrastructure
One of the most difficult challenges facing the telecom
industry is how to meet growing demand without significantly
expanding infrastructure. Many cell towers are at or near full
capacity already.
Inves ng in infrastructure upgrades or acquiring addi onal
sites can be costly, not to men on the delays that can come
with acquiring, permi ng, and building new sites. There is a
real need for solu ons that can meet the demand without
overloading towers.
Enter dual-band microwave systems. By combining mul ple
bands in a single antenna, they offer ultrahigh capacity backhaul
to help operators address the capacity problems they face. Dual-
band systems reduce tower loads by replacing two single-band
antennas, requiring less equipment providing increasingly
robust microwave solu ons.
Large, dual-band antennas are ideal for long-haul applica ons
where ultrahigh capacity is not possible with a single-frequency
opera on. The antennas enable mul ple-signal propaga ng in
two different frequency bands by one set of feed and reflector.
Dual-band antennas reduce:
● tower load ● tower rental space
● transporta on cost ● installa on me.
RFS (Radio Frequency Systems), a leading manufacturer of cable
and antenna systems, offers an antenna covering the two most
popular frequency bands, 6GHz and 11GHzRFS 6 GHz and 11 GHz.
The PrimeLine TowerBooster microwave antennas deliver the
capacity and performance needed to backhaul large volumes of
5G data over long distance with low total cost of ownership. With
support for horizontal and ver cal polariza on in each band, the
PrimeLine TowerBooster antennas offer 4X capacity compared
with single-band, single-polarized microwave antennas, and
2X that of double-polarized microwave antennas.
RFS antennas are available for shipping from Talley, one of
the na on's largest distributors of wireless infrastructure,
communica ons, and mobile products. For more informa on on
