For upgrading a 2T2R site to 4T4R, do we need to change the installed antenna?

Hello Experts.

For upgrading a 2T2R site to 4T4R, do we need to change the installed antenna?

If you already have a 4T4R capable antenna, then you don’t need to.

Else to get the benefit, you should go for a change.

I don’t think it is a 4T4R antenna…

It is installed for 3G and now used for 4G with 2T2R.

If we configure the same antenna with 4T4R, will it work?

No.

It must has 4 physical ports.

4 physical ports or it is antenna internal structure?

The antenna should has 4 physical ports.

What about the radio part (RFM).

Does it will have 4 output ports?

Check the antenna specs sheet you will know the capability if it supports 4T4R it ok go ahead.

If not replace it with one support or configure 2 antenna 2T2R to work with 4T4R mode.

Yes Absolutely: it’s required.

You need one more bundle space on antenna for 4 Ports Radio installation.

It can be specified in Antenna Data.
