Movandi, the 5G mmWave specialist, says that its front ends and repeaters now span all major licensed mmWave bands in the market including 24/26/28/39 GHz frequencies for repeaters, ORAN, small cells, CPE and mobile.
“By tailoring the 5G radio as a complete system, we have optimised the performance of our mmWave solutions,” says Movandi CEO and co-founder Maryam Rofougaran (pictured).
A major challenge facing 5G deployments today is that the available sub-6-GHz spectrum does not support the latency and throughput required to deliver the optimal performance and services required by advanced applications and simultaneous users.
Current sub-6-GHz 5G networks provide minimal improvement over existing 4G LTE networks and fail to deliver on the promise of 5G coverage, performance and latency in dense urban environments and crowded event venues.
To realize the full value and benefits of 5G, operators must deploy mmWave solutions at scale. Movandi has responded to the challenge by delivering the first mmWave RF front-end solutions and smart active repeaters that enable the high performance, broad coverage and high availability end users expect from 5G networks.
Movandi’s RF front-end and repeater portfolio leverages the company’s patented BeamX technology.
BeamX-based active repeaters, claims Movandi, can increase the coverage of mmWave base stations by 90% for less than 40% of the CAPEX cost and with only 10% of the OPEX of existing technologies.
BeamX technology provides more than 10x the performance for customer premises equipment (CPE) than existing 5G solutions. Movandi’s mmWave solutions can also accelerate 5G network deployment by years by reducing the need to run fibre to every small cell tower.
