FEATURES / BENEFITS
This antenna provides a 12 Port multi-band flexible platform for advanced use for flexible use in
deployment scenarios for encompassing 600, 700, 800, AWS, PCS & BRS applications.
24 Inch Width For Easier Zoning
Field Replaceable (Integrated) AISG RET platform for reduced environmental exposure
Superior elevation pattern performance across the entire electrical down tilt range
Includes three AISG RET motors
Low band arrays driven by a single RET motor
HBL & HBLC arrays driven by a single RET & HBR & HBRC arrays driven by a single RET
Includes 1m AISG jumper for optional daisy chain of two high band RET motors for one single
AISG point of high band tilt control.
