Massive MIMO
COVERAGE AND CAPACITY IN A COMPACT UNIT
Traditional cell sites project waves in a fixed predefined pattern, like a flood light. Sector capacity in a traditional cell site is shared amongst all the users of the cell site.
Massive MIMO cell sites project radio in narrow beams directed to the users, like spotlights.
With Multi-User MIMO, the same sector capacity resources can be re-used across multiple users in the same sector, resulting in increased capacity of the system – creating virtual sectors within a single sector.
Massive MIMO Key Benefits:
- Increased beam-forming gain
- Increased interference suppression capability
- Higher SINR – Higher throughput per spatial layer
- Increased multiplexing capacity (MU-MIMO)
- Benefits apply to both downlink and uplink
- 10 dB gain with Uplink Booster
Viable Solution Over Fiber
Massive MIMO has been used in the deployment of fixed wireless networks for over 5 years. The Ericsson Air6488 untilized LTE technology to bring high-speed internet service to rural areas where fiber was not a cost effective solution.
Learn how Newport Utilities overcame challenging mountainous terrain and a global pandemic to extend high-speed broadband to underserved homes and businesses in rural communities.
