Jaybeam Wireless Unveils Optimized AWS Band Antennas at CTIA Wireless 2007.

HICKORY, N.C. -- Jaybeam Wireless, a leader in base station antenna solutions, will present its new range of optimized AWS band antennas at CTIA Wireless 2007 in Orlando, Florida. These new antennas maintain tight pattern control across the full 1710-2155 MHz frequency range allowing AWS spectrum winners to achieve improved system performance throughout their network.

"Some wideband antennas vary as much as 2 dB in gain from one end of the AWS band to the other," said Eric Miller, Product Manager for Jaybeam Wireless. "These antennas will work fine for GSM 1800 or UMTS 2100 networks that only see a portion of the total gain variation. In AWS networks, the transmit and receive bands are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Any variation in antenna gain or pattern shape across the band results directly in uplink / downlink signal imbalance."

The new WBX065x17R250 antennas from Jaybeam Wireless achieve gain variation of less than O0.5 dB and azimuth beamwidth variation of less than O5x across the AWS band TX / RX frequency pairs. Models are available in dual polarized or "twin" side-by-side dual polarized configurations for high capacity sectors. These antennas include heavy upper sidelobe suppression and accept Jaybeam's patented internal Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) technology for quick, efficient network optimization.

"These new antenna models achieve uniform performance over a 24% bandwidth," said Tom Thompson, Director of Engineering, Jaybeam Wireless. "That's 3 times the % bandwidth of a typical 1900 MHz antenna. Our RF and mechanical engineering teams did a great job developing a cost effective solution for this unique technical challenge."

In addition to 65x sector antennas, Jaybeam Wireless offers 1710-2170 MHz base station antennas with 18x,33x,45x and 85x azimuth beamwidths to support everything from dense urban to rural highway coverage applications. For hard to zone sites, Jaybeam even offers an assortment of environmentally friendly "Tri-Sector" antenna solutions to help conceal new AWS band installations.
