Antenna Solution 

The AirStrand 2200 antenna architecture is based on a dual sector with dual 2x2 SBA antennas. The 
two sectors support two carrier which can operate in same or in different frequencies. Each SBA 
antenna supports two possible configurations: 90° and 180° (refers to -6dB), enabling adapting 
antenna pattern to the specific deployment use case.
