Alpha Wireless, a global leader in antennas and streetworks solutions, announced the Small Cell Fusion platform, the first 5G small cell antenna design that can be installed on mid-poles of existing streetworks infrastructure. This innovative design combines the performance and flexibility of small cell panels with the aesthetics of canister antennas, setting a new benchmark for network densification.
As 5G rolls out, the need for networks to become even more dense is driving a shift to street-level small cells. However, mobile network operators (MNOs) and neutral hosts face challenges in securing locations for new sites. Alpha Wireless designed the Small Cell Fusion platform to pioneer a new approach to attaching and concealing antennas to existing roadway assets, expanding access to traditionally off-limits locations and supporting densification projects. Speed up and simplify.
The flexible, field-operable, modular design allows MNOs to combine coverage capabilities for each sector to minimize interference in existing networks without compromising radio frequency (RF) performance.
The Alpha Wireless Small Cell Fusion platform is the first product to expand the options available for mounting small cell antennas to include mounting in the center of the pole as well as the top and sides of the pole. This means small cells can be attached to light poles, utility poles, existing masts, walls and other vertical structures, making them a multi-operator solution that blends seamlessly with existing infrastructure to meet strict zoning restrictions. Expansion is now possible.
“As network operators shift their focus from macro sites to small cells, new tactics are emerging to minimize visual impact, simplify RF planning, and pave the way for faster permitting and streamlined deployment. “Our commitment to innovation has led us to develop a modular small cell fusion platform, the only solution that allows canister antennas to be built around existing utility poles,” said Alpha Wireless CEO. said director Fergal Lawler. “We created this solution because we believe there is a better way to build wireless networks, and our approach is proven by overwhelmingly positive feedback from the industry. I am.”
