CommScope Announces New HX6-611-6WH/B Dual-Band (6/11 GHz), Dual-Polarized Antenna

New antenna improves capacity and reduces installation and operational costs to future-proof microwave backhaul networks

CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM), a global leader in network connectivity, announced today the expansion of its ValuLine® HX antenna line with the new HX6-611-6WH/B antenna, delivering a high-capacity microwave backhaul solution to meet the demands of future networks that operate in both the 6 GHz and 11 GHz bands ensuring reliable long-haul connectivity.

The four-in-one solution can replace as many as four standard microwave antennas—allowing MNOs to quickly add backhaul capacity without adding more antennas and mounting structures. The HX6-611-6WH/B antenna directly addresses the challenges of future-proofing wireless backhauls while reducing total cost of ownership through an easy-to-install, high-efficiency design.

“We designed the new HX6-611-6WH/B antenna to deliver the capacity for tomorrow’s networks in the same footprint as today’s antennas, so our MNO customers can quickly and reliably scale to their networks of the future,” stated Mike Guerin, SVP, Outdoor Wireless Networks, CommScope. “Our microwave antennas are field-tested to deliver excellent gain and consistent radiation pattern envelopes (RPEs), delivering true-to-spec performance that will handle high-capacity, long-haul connectivity in the most demanding environments, for years to come.”
