3G /HSPA+ and 2 antennas
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2020 5:58 pm
Hello,
I have a question about 3G / HSPA+ network.
Does it make sense / Will it do any good/ Can it work in principle for MC7455 to install two (most likely flat panel or parabolic grid ) antennas and point them out to 2 different towers? I am speaking (theoretically, cannot check anything) strictly about 3G / HSPA+ network 900/2100 Mhz.
The problem is that there are 3 3G/HSPA+ towers around:
a) 800 meters from MOFI , LOS available, the tower can be very congested during peak hours (download speed goes down to 0, upload speed is ok);
b) 3km from MOFI , LOS might not be available (all things (airlink and such) considered, 80% probability of LOS), the tower is not congested, connection is not stable, upload speed is not great, download speed not great but better than 0;
c) 5km from MOFI , LOS might not be available (all things (airlink and such) considered, 60% probability of LOS), the tower is not congested, connection is not stable,upload speed is not great, download speed is not great but better than 0;
So, what I would like to achieve is to use the closed tower a and b or c at the same time but I don't know if 3G/HSPA+ technology allows that. And if I can, looks like there is no point in getting MIMO, I simply need a flat panel to get signal from the tower a and may be another flat panel or parabolic grid antenna to get the signal from the tower b or c.
Does it make any sense at all?
