—1400 MHz Base Station Antenna Already
Installed by Major European Operator—
To keep up with ever-growing data demand, wireless
operators are adding new spectrum to their networks to increase
capacity. One recent report suggests that streaming audio and
video content will account for 80 percent of network traffic by
2020. More than 20 billion Internet of Things devices could also be
connected by then.

CommScope is ready to support the next generation of wireless
networks in Europe and the US with base station antennas upgraded
for the latest spectrum. CommScope is introducing new
Ultra-Wideband antennas that support the 1400 MHz and 600 MHz
frequency bands, the latest spectrum being released for cellular
network use. CommScope has already delivered the Ultra-Wideband
antenna for 1400 MHz to a major European operator.
“Speed to market is a critical success factor for network
operators in today’s competitive wireless industry,” said Upendra
Pingle, vice president, Base Station Antennas, CommScope.
“CommScope prides itself on responding to real market demand
quickly, ready to help our wireless customers deploy their valuable
spectrum holdings as rapidly as possible.”
Many European network operators recently received licenses to
operate in the 1400 MHz bands, which will help supplement downlink
speeds and improve the user experience. CommScope’s Ultra-Wideband
antenna covers the full spectrum of 1427 to 2690 MHz. Uniquely, it
has separate inputs for the 1400 MHz band, enabling downtilt for
just that band, while still offering 4x2 and 4x4 MIMO capability on
the 1800, 2100, 2300 and 2600 MHz bands without increasing the size
of the antenna.
For the US market, CommScope has an Ultra-Wideband antenna ready
for the 600 MHz bands currently being auctioned, which could serve
as a "wide-area 5G coverage layer.” CommScope’s 600 MHz
Ultra-Wideband antenna offers superior narrow beamwidth
performance, giving it excellent pattern containment, roll off and
sector overlap control. These pattern characteristics reduce
interference, boost network capacity and enable operators to get
the most from their spectral investments. CommScope expects to
begin trials of the 600 MHz Ultra-Wideband antennas this year.
In addition to supporting new spectrum, CommScope’s
Ultra-Wideband antennas carry the major frequency bands used
globally, enabling operators to provide a variety of services from
the same antennas. Network operators typically need such
multi-faceted network equipment in order to support the numerous
wireless technologies and devices in use today.
