Below this point, the Twin

coverage and the
interference above 6º is
much lower.

Azimuth
• Adjust azimuth according to traffic needs: try to split hot spot traffic
between the two beams of the antenna
• Try to point antennas to take advantage of the higher gain to improve
outdoor coverage and indoor service
Tilt
• In late 2011, a major U.S. carrier was looking to add capacity within its core
network in a key metro market. Coverage was being provided by a cluster of
high-profile, three-sector urban sites operating in the 850 MHz and 1900
MHz bands. Nearly all of the sites were reaching their UMTS capacity limits
• To generate added capacity at critical sites, the carrier was evaluating a
variety of sector splitting solutions that would affect one sector at each site.
The specific market represents a high-revenue opportunity for the carrier
• Time to market (TTM) was a critical factor in the choice of the solution
