Alpha Wireless has introduced a Compact Modular Tri-Sector Antenna Platform designed to revolutionize wireless network scalability for LTE, 5G and beyond. This new platform enables rapid site deployment and maintenance, as well as pay-as-you-grow field upgrades with a modular, future-ready antenna design.

The new antenna platform builds on the proven performance of Alpha Wireless tri-sector antennas, enhancing the unique shared site solution with total modularity for easy serviceability and rapid evolution to support new technologies.

"The race to 5G profitability is driving a need for faster scalability and network densification. Yet, at the same time, many cities and municipalities are requiring shared streetworks deployments to eliminate unsightly clutter," said Fergal Lawlor, Chief Executive Officer, Alpha Wireless. "Our next-generation, Compact Modular Tri-Sector Antenna Platform offers a faster, more cost-effective approach to building, maintaining and upgrading street-level sites, providing a smooth path to future profitability with reduced risk."

CellGate is introducing an innovative new wireless multi-point access control solution called OmniPoint.

OmniPoint is vastly different than most currently installed access control systems around the country, in that it does not require data wires or control panels. This means there is less hardware to purchase, install and connect via data wires on a property.

OmniPoint's unique system design, capabilities and use of LoRa technology means it is an ideal solution for schools, warehouses, shipping yards, multi-tenant communities, loading docks, regional airports, parking lots, and many other similar properties that have factors that make a wired access control solution cost prohibitive or simply impossible to install.
