Scaling the capacity of network expansion.
Global wireless subscribers are expected to grow from 3.3 billion to more than 5 billion by 2011. For wireless operators relying on conventional approaches, the problematic path to network scaling is forecasted to require the addition of 1.3 base stations and an investment of greater than $40 billion annually.Quintel’s innovative technology is dramatically more economical, quicker to deploy and scalable.
QTilt™ is a unique and patented technology that maximizes the output of existing sites while minimizing the number of sites needed for network coverage and capacity. QTilt actually doubles the output of any standard form factor antenna, thereby eliminating redundant costs—related to site acquisition, development and backhaul—while maintaining the highest level of network performance.
The scientific innovations used in the development of QTilt were initially developed by a world class research institute, QinetiQ. As a commercial spin-out, Quintel has productized this superior technology, enabling operators to increase their infrastructure’s capacity with a minimum of operational disruption or burdensome capital expenditures by:
- Maximizing utilization of site capital assets
- Minimizing sites needed for coverage and capacity
- Increasing speed-to-revenue
- Reducing planning/zoning concerns
- Reducing capital expenditures
- Decreasing operating expenses, e.g. rentals, backhaul, and site construction
QTilt has no internal mechanical moving parts, thus it is able to increase antenna infrastructure reliability across all current and future radio access technologies. It also provides the flexibility to host multiple standards (including GSM, cdma, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, and WiMax) and spectrum bands on a standard antenna preserving independent control within the same spectrum band. As a result, operators can now:
- Overlay multiple service standards, such as GSM and UMTS
- Achieve greater efficiencies by sharing with multiple operators
- Leverage optimization by modulation and subscriber
By doubling antenna output, QTilt maximizes site output and minimize the sites needed to achieve cost-effective spectrum re-farming, service upgrades, and multi-operator sharing. There’s simply no more efficient way to meet the challenge of subscriber growth—and realize the opportunity for operator profit.
