Macrocells, or macrocell sites, are the equipment used in multiband cellular networks designed to provide high-power radio coverage to large areas for mobile network access. Macrocells are complemented by lower-power small cells and edge devices to further extend coverage and capacity to dense urban and rural areas.

 
Macrocell Schematic
 

At Tessco, we understand how important macrocells are to expand cellular communication across large locations. Work with our team to determine the right products, solutions, and services for your next macrocell site build that will ensure reliable, consistent coverage for all mobile users.


Technologies Macrocells Support

Today, networks are evolving from 4G LTE/A to 5G, which represents huge growth for all carriers and will take years to fully build out. When completed 5G promises to offer:

4G

  • Newer and higher frequencies
  • Up to 10x better throughput
  • Improved latency down to 1-5ms

5G

  • Significantly greater traffic capacity
  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Greater density


Frequency vs. Coverage and Capacity

  • Low Band (600, 700, & 800 MHz)
    • Ideal for large coverage areas and distance
    • Ideal for in-building penetration and rural environments
  • Mid Band (1.7-6 GHz)
    • Less range and moderate increase in data rate
    • Ideal for large urban and suburban regions
  • High Band/mmWave (28 & 39 GHz)
    • Great for data speed
    • Very limited distance (¼ mile or less)
    • On rooftops or poles (small cell), for dense urban environments
