Technical FAQs 4

What is a small-cell base station (SBS) antenna?

To address the growing demand, 5G technology is being implemented at a larger scale. Small-cell Base Station (SBS) antennas are crucial for exploring the full potential of 5G networks by expanding the network in urban areas, densely populated regions, indoor environments, and low-coverage zones.

What are the different types of base stations?

Pico cells, femtocells, micro cells, macro cells: The world of base stations is a mix of technologies and applications. Learn how small cells fit in today and as we head to 5G.

What's the difference between a macro base station and a small cell?

With a macro base station, there's one pipe going into the network; with small cells, it breaks the pipe into many pipes. The main goal of small cells is to increase the macro cell's edge data capacity, speed and overall network efficiency.

What is a distributive antenna system (DAS)?

To extend the coverage of a macrocell, distributive antenna systems (DASs) are used in conjunction with the cell tower. DASs take a signal from the base station and boost it to increase the area the signal can reach.
