X-Pol 16-Port 6 ft, 45° Fast Roll-Off, with Smart Bias Ts, 698-3980 MHz:

4 ports 698-894 MHz, 8 ports 1695-2690 MHz, and 4 ports 3400-3980 MHz
  • 16-Port antenna offering the same functionality as 2 Hex Port antennas and CBRS in a single unit
  • Full low-band arrays for maximum gain
  • Fully integrated (iRETs) with independent RET control for low band and mid band
  • Optimized CBRS radiation patterns for improved RSRP and maximum EIRP
  • FET configured with internal RET for CBRS and ease of future network optimization
  • Excellent passive intermodulation (PIM) performance reduces harmful interference.
  • Suitable for 3G, 4G, and 5G interface technologies
  • Integrated Smart Bias-Ts reduce leasing costs and improved reliability
  • Optimized form factor for reduced wind loading

Fast Roll-Off antennas increase data throughput without compromising coverage
The horizontal beam produced by Fast Roll-Off (FRO) technology increases the Signal to Interference & Noise Ratio (SINR) by eliminating overlap between sectors .
Non-FRO antenna Large traditional antenna pattern overlap creates harmful interference. JMA FRO antenna
JMA’s FRO antenna pattern minimizes overlap, thereby minimizing interference.
LTE throughput SINR Speed (bps/Hz) Speed increase CQI
Excellent >18 >4.5 333+% 8-10
Good 15-18 3.3-4.5 277% 6-7
Fair 10-15 2-3.3 160% 4-6
Poor <10 <2 0% 1-3
The LTE radio automatically selects the best throughput based on measured SINR.
