Seems like we always end up with 50+ customers >2 miles from a typical site and then a handful <1 mile. In that case I'd say throw up an omni on the 5.4 band or something, but when you only get to mount at 100+ feet, it's not real useful because you still end up shooting over top of all the close subs since the omni pattern at -15 degrees elevation sucks. So I'd still rather have null-fill, IMO. Keep most of the beam out towards the max range and in between, null-fill will take care of the close-in customers.

That depends on a variety of factors right?

·What is the average distance of your clients to the AP?

·Is there elevation changes?

·What is the AGL of the antenna?

·What is the AGL of the CPE?

·How far away is the next sector/tower?

Effectively it’s a geometry question. 4 degree downtilt seems standard on carrier antennas though… but they also are trying to keep the cells smaller.

Thank you,

But 4 degrees downtilt on a sector with 7 degree vertical beamwidth seems excessive unless you’re doing really small cells.

Alpha Wireless makes a great sector. Alpha is the antenna OEM for Telrad and Airspan among others.

KP makes one - I haven't used them myself, but I've always only ever heard good things about their antennas. I can't think of any others in 120 degree off hand.
