The new radio is one of the industry\u2019s lightest dual-band radios supporting both Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) and Broadband Personal Communications Service (PCS) spectrums.<\/p>\n<p>AWS and PCS are important mid-band spectrums, offering a good mixture of coverage and capacity. By combining them into a \u2018one box\u2019 solution, mobile operators gain a simplified approach to capacity extension.<\/p>\n<p>As the lightest and most compact AWS\/PCS dual-band Massive MIMO radio available in the market, Samsung\u2019s new radio stands out for its ability to deliver high output power (320W) in a small form factor. It is equipped with the company&#8217;s latest System-on-a-Chip (SoC) and built to improve network capacity and coverage, while decreasing its power consumption and radio size. This will enable operators to reduce their radio footprint, the weight placed on towers, and installation time, helping to drive faster rollouts and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48531\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48531\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48531\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/AWS-PCS-image.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Launches AWS\/PCS Dual-band Massive MIMO Radio\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/26123231\/AWS-PCS-image.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/26123231\/AWS-PCS-image-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/26123231\/AWS-PCS-image-950x534.jpg 950w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/26123231\/AWS-PCS-image-438x245.jpg 438w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48531\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AWS\/PCS Dual-band Massive MIMO Radio and AWS\/PCS Dual-band 4T4R Radio<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to launch a new dual-band 16T16R Massive MIMO radio, adding to our 5G radio lineup to expand our extensive portfolio of cutting-edge network solutions,\u201d<strong> said Dong Geun Lee, Vice President and Head of H\/W R&amp;D Group, Networks Business at Samsung Electronics.<\/strong> \u201cWith Samsung\u2019s high-performance dual-band Massive MIMO radio, which features one of the smallest footprints in the industry, operators will be able to easily boost network capacity and accelerate network rollouts.\u201d<br \/>\nThe AWS\/PCS Dual-band Massive MIMO Radio is the company\u2019s first 16T16R FDD dual-band Massive MIMO radio.
