Creative Engineering Helps Operators Capitalize
on Billions Spent on Communications Infrastructure and Spectrum
Auctions
As new frequency bands have become available, operators are
under pressure to maximize their investments and roll out spectrum
quickly. To address this sense of urgency, CommScope is excited to
announce and introduce Mosaic, a new active-passive antenna
platform that assists operators with simplifying and accelerating
5G-related tower deployments.

Mosaic’s radio-agnostic modular hardware design helps mobile
network operators roll out 5G coverage while supporting legacy 4G
deployments that still have profitable years of use ahead of them.
Adding 5G capabilities often means adding new tower-top equipment,
including Active Antenna Systems (AAS) that support massive MIMO
capabilities. The CommScope Mosaic platform allows operators to
combine active and passive antenna capabilities in a way that
simplifies tower top complexity, reduces occupied tower top space
and wind loading, while preserving the performance of all
technologies.
“Operators are globally estimated to spend approximately $1
trillion (2019 – 2025) in network deployment CAPEX as they capture
emerging growth in 5G. The clever engineering behind Mosaic offers
a pragmatic way to add both capacity and capability while
maximizing previous spectrum and 4G cell site investments,” said
Farid Firouzbakht, SVP and segment president, Outdoor Wireless
Networks, CommScope. “CommScope is removing a significant 5G
deployment challenge so operators can prioritize ways to monetize
their networks with superfast 5G connectivity.”
Previously, multiple technologies and technology generations at
a single site may have caused interference and impacted network
performance. Mosaic’s compact design solves this challenge by
ensuring legacy 4G infrastructure can co-exist with 5G active
antennas.
Mosaic reduces the required footprint at the top of the tower by
providing the capability to mount massive MIMO AAS equipment on the
back of a conventional passive antenna using advanced technology
and modular design practices. The range of available port counts
and lengths in the passive antenna module makes it easy to upgrade
to 5G mMIMO while supporting all legacy sub-6 GHz bands.
As carriers ramp up 5G coverage across their networks, consumers
will continue to invest in 5G smartphones. In addition to faster
mobile speeds, the industry will test new use cases for
self-driving cars, customized fan experiences, 5G connected collars
on farms, remote-controlled ultrasounds scans, remote surgeries and
many more applications. The spectrum used for these new services
will require densification and engineering innovation. Mosaic is
designed to help operators accelerate this uptake while supporting
their existing 4G networks.
