50%
Dual polarized in traditional band (HPX/HPX)
— Benefits
– 50% less antenna footprint for Multi-band Booster
— One antenna instead of two
— Minimized visual impact
— Tower space
— Tower rental cost
LESS
— Wind load

Relevant bands to combine with

70/80GHz:
› 18–28GHz, in mild climate
› 15–23GHz in severe climate
Dual-band antennas will support
more deployments
