Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Tara Hanneffy, Marketing Executive at Alpha Wireless:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to your company?
A: Alpha Wireless is a leader in antenna technologies helping mobile and fixed wireless service providers maximize coverage, capacity and cost-efficiency. With over 15 years’ experience and more than 1.5 million antennas installed in 50+ countries, Alpha Wireless is enabling a smooth evolution from 4G/LTE networks to 5G with a full range of innovative antenna solutions, including the broadest portfolio of 3.5 GHz solutions. Based in Ireland with offices in Australia and the U.S., we design solutions that overcome environmental and economic challenges while preserving the natural landscape.
Q: Any highlights on your recent announcement?
A: Neutral site operator Cellnex Telecom deployed Alpha Wireless tri-sector canister antennas throughout Ireland to meet the demands of their customer network rollouts, reducing the time and expense of building out new mobile 4G/5G cell sites, while optimizing network coverage, capacity and performance. With support from Alpha Wireless, Cellnex is deploying neutral host 4G/5G, multi-operator sites across Ireland to bring enhanced coverage and capacity to ‘dead zones’ or ‘mobile black spots’ that have traditionally presented deployment challenges in both rural and suburban communities. To simplify and speed up site rollout, Cellnex has deployed the Alpha Wireless AW3871 and AW3836 multi-band, tri-sector canister antennas, offering an integrated solution in a slim profile and aesthetically pleasing design that facilitates the site permit process.

Q: Can you give us more insights into your offering?
A: With a compact and unobtrusive design, Alpha Wireless antennas can be mounted on poles and rooftops, or integrated with public works such as streetlights, bringing coverage and capacity closer to subscribers. Thanks to our patent-pending frequency-transparent dipole technology, Alpha Wireless tri-sector antennas can support multiple bands in an exceptionally slim form factor, allowing Cellnex to build sites with a smaller footprint yet offer shared space to various operators. This approach reduces capital expenditure for operators who have already invested heavily in new spectrum licenses.
Q: What can we expect from your company in next 6 months? What are your plans?
A: While the pandemic drove an increased need for essential connectivity, it also created new challenges and delays for network operators to complete field deployments of new mobile network infrastructure. We will continue to help mobile operators, system integrators and neutral site hosts overcome these challenges by developing solutions that accelerate and simplify new deployments to enable delivery of new services that bridge the digital divide and allow subscribers to stay connected.

Q: What is the best thing about your company that people might not know about?
A: Alpha Wireless designs canister antennas that are pre-assembled, cabled and ready to install, cutting deployment time in half, minimizing road closures and other disruptions, and reducing overall installation costs by roughly 50 percent.
