Cell Site Evolution, Fibre to the Antenna and the Impact on Cell Site Deployments

The evolution of cell site deployments has been driven by the introduction of additional bands and additional technologies. Multiport antennas and the migration of radio equipment close to the antenna calls for significant power and signalling to be made available at remote radio equipment. This requirement has increased the complexity of deployments for small works contractors. The presentation outlines this evolution and presents an FTTA solution that alleviates the issues faced by small works contractors in FTTA deployments.
