Top Promising Innovations – Sentinel Class 4 Microwave Antennas
Sentinel is the world’s first cost-effective European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Class 4-compliant microwave antenna, which enables network operators to add more microwave links in a given area using the same frequencies but without causing interference. Class 4 antennas have very low side lobes in the antenna radiation pattern, so they minimize interference with adjacent antennas. Sentinel accomplishes this with a compact, highly-integrated antenna reflector. Prior to Sentinel, this level of performance could only be achieved with highly complex dual offset reflector antennas, which were too expensive for wide adoption in the market.
