Kathrein is pleased to announce the product launch of the first of a new range of active indoor products.
The RRHpico is the first fibre optic fed solution from Kathrein. This product is specially customized for operation with selected OEM partners. Additional versions can be introduced to meet further OEM interface requirements.

Why should operators consider the implementation of pico Remote Radio Heads?
Customer drop-call complaints in indoor environments are a major motivation for the deployment of the RRHpico.
The RRHpico provides the ideal solution for satisfying customers with optimal indoor coverage.In crowded public areas the high demand on cell capacity has a big impact on cell planning. While repeaters can extend the RF-coverage of a cell, RRHpicos can actually improve both coverage and capacity in hot-spots, thereby easing the overall problems of cell planning in crowded areas.

Features of the RRHpico include the following:
