Remote Electrical downTilt of Antennas

Concept:
To be able to Remotely control the Electrical downTilt of antennas where the MET antennas can be field upgradeable to RET antennas MET was the first step to controlled EDT Antennas down tilt a new performance parameter with RET Can further improve capacity in the network Based on statistics, optimum settin s can !e achieved The settin s can !e future al orithm"!ased #$ptimum settin s can vary !y time% RET A Master Control &nit on site connected to RET antennas Antenna interface and compliance with A'() #R("*+,% Remote-.ocal access
