Various approac
hes to increasing data capacity are being used and explored: adding new cells; adding spectrum; offloading to other networks; small cells; increasing the number of sectors. All of these involve significant cost and technical challenges. Now using twin beam antenna technology, converting a three-sector site into a six-sector site is becoming an attractive and low cost option. Twin beam antenna technology provide two independent 33° antenna beams from a single antenna package, so you can build a six-sector site using three antennas. Theoretically, this can double your capacity, but real measurements have shown a 70-80% improvement. And all without increasing the wind-loading on the already congested masts. So now you can easily upgrade your existing three-sector sites or build new sites, with increased capacity, without incurring significant additional costs.
