The integrated high-gain 4×4 MIMO embedded dual-polarization/dual slant antenna technology offers efficient bi-directional transmission for increased capacity and coverage.

BEC’s innovative 5G technology enables the delivery of extreme data speeds, lower latencies, broader coverage, and increased network capacity. Our connectivity solutions are trusted and widely deployed to help customers broaden their service offerings, create value, and drive revenue growth.

 

The BEC AirConnect® 8230 5G NR/LTE, Dual Mode outdoor router, allows operators to unlock the full potential of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA). Today, many operators deploy FWA over 4G LTE networks; the AirConnect® 8230 can be deployed on those existing networks and support a seamless path to 5G NR for greater bandwidth and better spectral efficiency.

Designed for performance, the AirConnect® 8230 supports 5G sub-6 GHz Non-Standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) modes and Gigabit LTE CAT 16. The integrated high-gain 4×4 MIMO embedded dual-polarization / dual slant antenna technology offers efficient bi-directional transmission for increased capacity and coverage.
