EBS/BRS 8T x 8R MIMO Faros® Remote Radio Head

Faros® distributed Remote Radio Head (RRH) unit for 2.5 GHz band Massive MIMO.

SKU SW-TASM- RHCB-BRC 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 EBS/BRS 8T x 8R MIMO Faros RRH can operate on licensed and unlicensed EBS/BRS and CBRS bands between 2.496 to 2.690 GHz and 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).
