18-Port, Panel Sector Antenna ( 698 - 2690 MHz )

Overview An advanced 18-port panel sector antenna engineered for dense multi-carrier, multi-sector deployments across 698–2690 MHz. Optimized for high isolation, low inter-port coupling, and precise pattern control to support MIMO, LTE, and legacy bands in a single compact enclosure. Ideal for urban and suburban macro sites, rooftop installations, and high-capacity enterprise deployments.

Key Features

• Frequency range: 698–2690 MHz covering low-band, mid-band, and key cellular LTE bands.

• 18 RF ports arranged for flexible MIMO and sectorization configurations (configurable as 2x2/4x4/8x8 arrays depending on port mapping).

• High port-to-port isolation to minimize inter-antenna interference and preserve MIMO performance.

• Consistent radiation patterns and stable electrical tilt across the full frequency range for predictable coverage planning.

• Low passive intermodulation (PIM) design to meet demanding carrier-grade performance requirements.

• Rugged, weatherproof radome and mounting hardware rated for harsh outdoor environments (IP65 or higher).

• Lightweight, low wind-load mechanical design for easier tower handling and reduced structural requirements.

• Integrated keying and labeling for simplified cable routing and commissioning.

• Broadband coaxial connectors compatible with standard industry cables (connector type options available per ordering).

• Optional integrated or remote electrical downtilt control (model dependent).

Typical Applications

• Macro and midhaul sector sites requiring multi-band MIMO performance.

• Capacity layer densification in urban and suburban areas.

• Replacement or upgrade of legacy multi-antenna installations to support modern LTE aggregation and MIMO.

• Neutral-host and shared infrastructure where multiple operators and carriers coexist on a single antenna.
