CBRS 16T x 16R MIMO Faros® Remote Radio Head

Faros® distributed Remote Radio Head (RRH) unit for 3.5 GHz CBRS-band Massive MIMO.

SKU SW-TASM-RHCB-CBR Category

The Faros Remote Radio Head, or Faros RRH, is part of the Faros family of last-mile connectivity solutions for internet service providers providing high-speed, point-to-multipoint (PtMP), non-line-of-sight (NLoS), bidirectional data over tens of kilometers. Its uniquely modular, distributed, and endlessly scalable physical and digital design draws on years of market-leading patented Massive MIMO research. Faros true Massive MIMO allows multiple Faros RRH units to be coherently combined for additional range and capacity, serving thousands of subscribers with up to 32 spatial streams and unprecedented in-field spectral efficiency.

Built on an agile software-defined radio architecture, the CBRS 16T x 16R MIMO Faros RRH can operate on licensed and unlicensed CBRS bands between 3.55 to 3.7 GHz and is designed to interoperate with Skylark’s fixed wireless Consumer Premises Equipment (CPEs) for high-speed, long-range Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).
