Stella Doradus Introduces the World's First Solid State Remote Electrical Tilt Antenna for WiMAX.Stella Netamorphic Antenna Eliminates Costly Tower Climbs and Reduces Cell to Cell Interference by 800% BOSTON -- Stella Doradus Group, a world leader in WiMAX antenna design and manufacturing, today introduced the first solid state remote electrical tilt antenna for WiMAX base stations during the WiMAX World Conference & Expo (Booth #708). The Stella Netamorphic Antenna electronically performs tilting operations from a centrally controlled network operations center See NOC. Network Operations Center - (NOC) A location from which the operation of a network or internet is monitored. Additionally, this center usually serves as a clearinghouse for connectivity problems and efforts to resolve those problems. , which reduces tilting operation costs to $0, potentially saving top-tier operators hundreds of millions of dollars during their WiMAX network build-out. "For WiMAX to become a reality, operators need a cost-effective infrastructure build plan," said James Brown
James Joseph Brown (May 3 1933[1][2] – December 25 2006), commonly referred to as "The Godfather of Soul" and " , CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Stella Doradus. "A typical urban city will need about one thousand base stations to adequately cover the area. By eliminating the need for tower climbs, the Stella Netamorphic Antenna can save operators approximately $5 million for every 500 base stations they add to their network, which quickly adds up to hundreds of millions in savings if the operator is planning a nationwide presence." The Stella Netamorphic Antenna is also the first in the world to produce equal radio frequency (RF) power across the entire cell. This gives consumers equal signal strength no matter how far they are from the cell base station. The Netamorphic antenna also reduces cell to cell interference, even in highly concentrated areas, by 800%. Together these technical breakthroughs give better signal strength and less interference enabling the data rate quality required for mass adoption of mobile television, streaming video A one-way video transmission over a data network. It is widely used on the Web as well as company networks to play video clips and video broadcasts. Computers in home networks stream video to digital media hubs connected to a home theater. and other new products coming online. "To achieve the full benefit from WiMAX networks, operators will need to deliver high data rate services such as mobile TV and streaming video," added Brown. "These services require extremely consistent data transmission quality. Our new antenna has been proven to cut out more interference in high concentration areas than any competing antenna on the market, which enables the quality of mobile TV and streaming video that consumers expect." As major U.S. WiMAX operators build out their WiMAX networks, new cell stations will need to be aggressively added in order to increase customer density. Interference between cells becomes a significant problem as the network is built out. When each new cell station is added, existing base station antennas need to be continually re-positioned to avoid interference. But the cost of moving an antenna is many times more than the antenna itself, mainly due to the liability insurance costs required to cover the dangerous job of climbing a tower each time an antenna needs to be repositioned. The Stella Netamorphic Antenna removes this requirement for tower climbs and the associated costs. The Stella Netamorphic Antenna is the first WiMAX remote tilt antenna built without moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid. . Key features include: Remote Electrical Tilt - Operators can instantly move antennas from a centralized operations center The facility or location on an installation, base, or facility used by the commander to command, control, and coordinate all crisis activities. See also base defense operations center; command center. using an intuitive user interface, which guides operators through the tilting process. The remote control capability significantly reduces the cost and time necessary to perform switching operations. Solid State Design - A patented electrical tilt antenna design that contains no moving parts. This innovative design uses phase shifters to electronically tilt the antenna. The solid state design removes the risk of tower failures, reduces antenna re-positioning time to less than 100us (micro-seconds) and makes antenna movements infinitely repeatable. Suppressed Cell to Cell Interference - Patented antenna technology eliminates cell to cell interference by greater than 20db, (800%) which supersedes the suppression quality of any other antenna on the market. This reduction in interference significantly increases customer data rates, reduces dropped connections, enhances connection quality and delivers the consistent data transmission quality necessary for mobile television and streaming video.
