Radio 4458
The ultra lightweight, triple band radio is designed to add a supplementary downlink band to boost downlink capacity, while significantly enhancing uplink performance on FDD sites by providing an additional 4Rx layer to the existing on site radio. Seamlessly integrating with current 4T4R deployments, Radio 4458 offers a compact, high efficiency solution to upgrade coverage and capacity, all while minimizing site payload and operational complexity.
Why it matters
- Add supplementary downlink capacity where you need it most — increase user throughput and spectral efficiency without full radio replacements.
- Turn existing FDD 4T4R sites into 4T8R configurations to double uplink performance, improving uplink coverage, reliability, and user experience.
- Ultra-light and compact design minimizes tower and transport constraints, simplifying installations and lowering OPEX.
