Small Cells

The advances and growth in small cell technology demand next generation antenna technology. This is driven by the increasing use of higher frequencies reducing range and in building penetration making fill in coverage essential. Such as our compact, modular and wide-band small-cell antenna system and our unique IPR for signal cancelling in repeaters.NVC’s antenna solutions are a compact, modular antenna system for indoor enterprise and femtocell small cell market. The system uses patented MIMO SmarTennaTM technology with inherent port to port isolation.

Our typical antenna system includes a network of standard specific, wideband, omni-directional antenna elements. The system can be further optimised with passive tuning, and optimal parasitic elements, through expert technical support. The wideband antenna system includes multi-ports  supporting LTE/WCDMA/GSM bands from 600 to 6000MHz. There are additional ports to support dual band Wi-Fi covering 2.4 and 5GHz. The flexible, modular antenna system supports  different small cell configurations and dimensions.  The wideband LTE/5G ports supports 2-way and 3-way downlink Carrier Aggregation with good performance in all bands.
