FAQs
Q1: What is the Sector Carrier Class 5‑16 VVH and what is it used for?
A: The Sector Carrier Class 5‑16 VVH is a high‑performance sector antenna designed for outdoor wireless networks. It provides broad horizontal coverage for point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) deployments, delivering reliable signal distribution to many client devices over wide areas.
Q2: What does the “5–16” beamwidth mean for this sector antenna?
A: The 5–16° horizontal beamwidth describes the antenna’s coverage angle, offering a wide sector that balances reach and directivity. This helps deliver strong, consistent signals across large coverage zones while maintaining good performance.
Q3: What MIMO configuration does the SEC‑CC‑5‑16‑VVH support and why is it important?
A: This antenna features 3×3 MIMO configuration, which allows it to send and receive three data streams simultaneously. This improves throughput, increases spectral efficiency, and enhances overall wireless capacity, especially in high‑density environments.
Q4: What applications is the Sector Carrier Class 5‑16 VVH suitable for?
A: The antenna is ideal for wireless ISP base stations, campus network sectors, fixed‑wireless access points, and community broadband deployments where broad sector coverage, high capacity, and reliable performance are required.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the SEC‑CC‑5‑16‑VVH offer?
A: The sector antenna is built with a rugged outdoor housing suitable for harsh environments, supports mast or pole mounting, and includes robust RF design to maintain reliable operation and consistent coverage in long‑term outdoor deployments.
