Simplify 5G Deployments With Cluster Connectors Session 1

Higher capacity in 5G requires more complex antennas to support M-MIMO and multiple bands. How can operators simplify their 5G deployments and reduce installation times in the RAN? Cluster connectors can help by integrating multiple RF ports in a single interface.

In this Sparring Partners hosted by CommScope we addressed these topics:
- How can operators meet the challenge for capacity with 5G?
- What are the costs and risks of installing antennas with high port counts?
- How can cluster connectors can help operators simplify cell site deployments?
- Can cluster connectors address mating issues, reduce PIM, advanced radio support and cable manageability?
