  Systems integrators have a new option for delivering efficient, consistent wireless services to subscribers in sports arenas and other large venues. CommScope's Cell-Max MIMO antennas include multiple features that help operators use their spectrum efficiently when enabling wireless voice and data traffic.

"Our MIMO stadium antennas provide consistent coverage patterns with an ultra-wide frequency range, allowing for spectrum efficiency and a reduced need for replacing antennas in future technology deployments," said Matt Melester, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Distributed Coverage and Capacity Solutions, CommScope. "New features such as the audible mounting bracket make these Cell-Max antennas easier to install and more reliable."

With the massive increase in wireless data traffic thanks to the success of smartphones, wireless operators’ need to deploy dedicated equipment in areas where usage spikes. Sports arenas and other large venues where thousands of subscribers gather are such locations. 

Providing coverage and capacity efficiently requires doing more than just installing extra antennas. To provide services effectively, systems integrators break down the coverage area into wireless sectors that support all users but do not overlap. Poorly designed or poorly installed equipment can lead to wasted spectrum and capacity for the operators and/or diminished quality of service for customers. CommScope’s Cell-Max MIMO antennas offer narrow beamwidths that can be reliably shaped into sectors, decreasing the likelihood of either scenario.

An "all-in-one" intelligent point of interface from CommScope offers a smarter way to bridge the connection between base transceiver stations (BTS) and the distributed antenna systems (DASs) that enable wireless connectivity in buildings and large venues.  CommScope's new i-POI lends insight into BTS conditioning, helps gain control over passive intermodulation (PIM), provides power control for multi-operator deployment and blends all of these capabilities into a single, compact module. 

"Wireless operators, system integrators and facility owners commonly face issues when planning a DAS deployment or upgrading an existing system. Their most pressing concerns surround the lack of visibility into the BTS conditioning process, drops in data throughput due to PIM and space constraints. i-POI meets these challenges head on - whether in the current CommScope Intelligent Optical Network (ION) environments or a third-party DAS infrastructure," said Matt Melester, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Distributed Coverage and Capacity Solutions, CommScope.  

i-POI delivers local and remote monitoring capabilities for setting, controlling, and alarming input and output power levels. Also compared to conventional footprints, i-POI’s sleek, smaller form reduces space requirements by up to 75 per cent.
