Selectable Multibeam Antennas
With high-profile OEM customers in the civil and industrial wireless communications, defence and homeland security sectors, Plasma Antennas is recognized as a leader and pioneer in smart antenna technologies.
Plasma Antennas has developed a range of next-generation smart selectable multi-beam antenna technologies for small cell backhaul, broadband wireless access, mesh network and other applications. Based on a set of patented beamforming technologies, these high-performance electronically-steerable antennas are extremely lightweight and compact.
- What is a selectable multi-beam antenna?
Smart Wireless Backhaul of Small Cell Networks
The deployment of small cell networks in urban areas to meet the growing need for increased mobile broadband capacity is a hot topic within the telecoms industry.
Market research firm Infonetics in its March 2012 Small Cell Equipment report forecasts that the global small cell market will grow rapidly, with about 3 million small cells shipping and the market worth about $2.1 billion in 2016. However, industry observers agree that small cell networks are a huge OPEX and CAPEX challenge for operators and will only be viable if they are able to self-organise.
Plasma Antennas has developed a range of smart selectable multi-beam antennas that can be automatically aligned, enabling wireless backhaul networks to self-organise whenever new cells are deployed, traffic patterns alter and operating conditions change. Follow the link to find out how smart selectable multi-beam antennas can dramatically reduce installation and maintenance costs of small cell wireless backhaul networks.
