BeamXR technology is the industry’s first smart repeater solution designed to solve real-world 5G mmWave deployment challenges, penetrate physical barriers in indoor, outdoor and mobile environments, and accelerate large-scale 5G commercialization. Movandi-powered BeamXR smart repeaters reduce the CAPEX and OPEX of mmWave deployment by 50 percent. To learn more, read the Mobile Experts whitepaper, Repeaters Cut 5G mm-Wave Costs in Half.

Lockheed Martin 5G space antenna

It increases coverage area by 190% compared to traditional phased array antennas, at lower cost.

Lockheed Martin has created a novel millimetre-wave dish antenna for satellites and ground terminals, particularly for space-based 5G communication.Lockheed Martin 5G space antenna, called ‘wide angle ESA fed reflector’ (Waefr), it is a hybrid of a phased array electronically steerable antenna (ESA) and a parabolic dish, and is claimed to increases coverage area by 190% compared to traditional phased array antennas, at lower cost.
