AirHarmony-4400 is a Macro-class product that supports 3GPP’s Long Term Evolution (LTE) eNodeB
specifications, providing high-speed data, mobility, Voice over LTE, and broadcast/multicast services
in order to meet the demands of the LTE Mobile Carriers.
AirHarmony-4400 is a compact, easy to install Macro-class eNodeB, allowing an operator to deploy
LTE broadband services using existing infrastructure or Street Furniture (e.g. street lamps, power
poles, building rooftop or sides etc…)
AirHarmony-4400 employs Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology, together with two transmit
and receive paths for each sector and a GPS antenna and receiver – all in a highly integrated,
physically small and light, All-Outdoor package, targeted to blend seamlessly into the urban
environment. This compact outdoor product minimizes physical footprint, power consumption and
operator OPEX.
AirHarmony-4400 is a 2T2R solution that enables a flexible deployment scenarios, but can achieve
higher coverage and throughput by combing multiple eNodeBs enabling the support of 4T4R, 4T8R,
and 8T8R.
