Intelligent radio frequency specialist TenXc Wireless Inc has announced the availability of its DCS Bi-Sector Array, a new spectral capacity enhancement solution in the 1800MHz band for GSM, EDGE, and UMTS network growth.
The DCS Bi-Sector Array offers a unique RF enhancement solution addressing spectral capacity and quality challenges found in high-traffic sites and markets with limited spectrum, says TenXc. It can be applied in targeted 'hot spot' sectors and network areas to support current service growth or facilitate spectrum re-farming for EDGE and UMTS overlay deployments. Its 'drop and insert' RF design allows for cost-effective network growth with minimum network disruption, reducing the deployment of added service capacity to a matter of weeks, says the company, adding that by applying the principles of higher order sectorisation the DCS Bi-Sector Array increases overall site capacity.
TenXc's DCS Bi-Sector Array can be used to upgrade existing sites without re-engineering surrounding sites, as well as in greenfield capacity site deployments. It serves as a direct antenna substitution at the cell site and makes use of standard base station features and existing cables while relieving 'tower clutter'.www.tenxc.com
