[Athens, Greece, September 29, 2024] At the Global Antenna Technology & Industry Forum 2024, Huawei launched its brand-new Alpha series antenna. This marks a major breakthrough, as this series embodies the essential capabilities base station antennas will need in the mobile AI era: high efficiency, digitalization, and easy deployment.
Mobile AI is driving the emergence of diverse service scenarios at an unprecedented speed, consequently raising the standards for network performance. In particular, it is spurring demand for greater downlink and uplink bandwidth and lower latency. In the meantime, the growing size and complexity of mobile networks underscores the urgency of more efficient network O&M. Huawei’s Alpha series is the first-ever antenna to simultaneously provide high efficiency, digital capabilities, and easy deployment, helping operators build eco-friendly, high-performance autonomous networks.
High efficiency: By applying Signal Direct Injection Feeding (SDIF) technology across all frequency bands, for all antennas in the series, the innovative architecture minimizes signal loss and maximizes RF efficiency to its theoretical limit. Additionally, Meta Lens technology is applied across all bands to reduce emission dissipation, enabling operators to enhance network coverage and user experience simultaneously.
All-scenario digitalization: All antennas in this series feature the next-gen antenna information sensor unit (AISU) with upgraded algorithms, suitable for a wide range of deployment scenarios. The ability to efficiently and remotely detect site engineering parameters with high precision enhances the data foundation for operators’ network management. With full-dimensional beam adjustment, the projection of beams can be dynamically reoriented and patterns reconfigured to enable real-time network optimization.
Easy deployment: The innovative Dragon Wings architecture represents a breakthrough in antenna design. Together, the bionic design of the internal load-bearing structure and the innovative GFRPP Pro radome material reduce the antenna’s weight to just 25 kg, enhancing its portability. Additionally, the innovative padlock bracket support and new plug-and-play feeder connector significantly simplify and shorten the installation process. Thanks to the Dragon Wings architecture, antenna deployment time is halved, greatly improving deployment efficiency and reducing overall network construction costs.
