Wideband Bi-Sector Array

Model BSA-W65-20V210-02

The Bi-SectorTM Array is an advanced phased array that supports two

traditional sectors from a single antenna. Optimized overlap between pairs of
asymmetric beams lowers the softer handover losses in CDMA and
W-CDMA systems and minimizes interference between sectors. Fast-roll o
of each of the outer beams and high front-to-back ratios ensure reduced
interference. Such an approach enhances data transfer rates within UMTS
network sectors and addresses hotspots in mobile wireless operator
networks for GSM and CDMA technologies.

Benefits
Increases site capacity gains
with higher order sectorization

The single panel design directly replaces an existing 65o antenna without
mount changes and avoids costly leasing and zoning changes. The new
coverage that matches the existing footprint minimizes the need for
optimization and adjacent site changes and allows for Bi-Sector Array sites to
be mixed with existing 3-sector sites (enabling 4, 5 or 6 sectors, as needed).
Deploying Bi-Sector Arrays in lieu of additional capacity sites leads to
signicant cost savings for an operator.

Increases spectral eciency

through beam shaping
Maximizes coverage in a
standard tri-sector cell plan
Boosts network performance by
lowering interference
Reduces antenna count
Minimizes installation and site
upgrade costs
