Small Cell Antennas

Ultra Compact Small Cell Antennas with uncompromised RF performance

A family of ultra-compact antennas covering all commonly used frequency bands from 617-960MHz, through 1695-2690MHz and up to 3.5GHz and 5GHz bands. The compact designs facilitate use of these antennas in any mounting arrangement on new or existing infrastructure such as buildings or light poles. The types of antennas available include sector, omni and back-to-back designs to suit any planning requirement, in single band and multiband options. The multiband, multiport designs allow maximum utilisation of spectrum holdings and infrastructure assets, whilst the single band options are ultra-discreet and even lower visual impact.

Alpha Wireless antennas are designed and engineered for superior quality and high performance. The multiband designs use advanced technology that minimises interference between the various bands operating in the antenna, which leads to better coverage and improved network performance. Furthermore, the pseudo-omni designs use patented technology that arranges the radiators to maximise 4×4 MIMO performance. All antennas are 100% factory tested before shipment.

The Alpha small cell antennas include the following features:

- Market-leading performance in compact form-factors
- Available sizes:
  - Multiband panels 610mm x 320mm x 145mm
  - Single band panels as small as 360mm x 140mm x 35mm
  - Multiband canister antennas, including pseudo-omni, 610mm x 360mm diameter
  - Single band omni antennas as small as 310mm x 80mm diameter
- 617-894MHz / 698-960MHz / 1695-2690MHz / 3400-3800MHz and 5150-5925MHz bands available (3300-4200MHz coming soon)
- 2×2 or 4×4 MIMO
- Useable in any environment
- Optional integrated GPS on many models
- 100% tested for return loss, isolation and PIM
- Can be customised to suit operator requirements

Discover the AW4032 Small Cell Antenna for 5G Network Transformation

Alpha Wireless have just released the AW4032 antenna, a groundbreaking addition to our Small Cell Fusion Platform, designed to transform 5G network densification for mobile network operators and neutral hosts.

The AW4032’s sleek, 2-part modular design enables mid-pole mounting on existing street infrastructure, making it easier than ever to deploy 5G small cells in urban environments without compromising on aesthetics or performance.

With support for dual frequency bands (1695–2690 MHz and 3300–4200 MHz) and 4×4 MIMO capabilities, this 16-port, omnidirectional antenna offers exceptional coverage and throughput.

Why Choose the AW4032?

Seamless Integration: Fits around lamp posts and streetlights, removing the need for sidearm mounts and reducing structural load.
Optimized Performance: Delivers 360° horizontal coverage with high gain and wide elevation beamwidth.
Real-World Success: Already deployed with Virgin Media O2 in the UK, where it’s enhancing connectivity in busy, high-demand areas.

Revolutionising Data Traffic in Cities

Ericsson offers different antenna solutions in order to support their customers in their effort to deploy small cell outdoor solutions. Not only do these antennas meet reliable electrical parameters, the unobtrusive design also minimises the visual impact especially in sensitive urban areas. Small cells are well-suited for providing dedicated capacity to high-use urban hotspots, such as hotel lobbies, restaurants, malls, train stations, airports and city streets.
