ValuLine® antenna solutions The backbone of your backhaul network

commscope.com2

Your backhaul network deserves ValuLineWireless OEMs and operators choose ValuLine class 3 microwave antenna solutions because they combine lower total cost of ownership (TCO), faster deployments, superior compliance and a complete family of antenna solutions and accessories. That’s why ValuLine is the most trusted name in microwave backhaul—and what drives CommScope to continue improving the way it delivers value.

Your business demands it—and your backhaul network deserves it.

Lower TCO, greater value As demand continues to rise, the cost of link failure grows exponentially. When you consider that microwave backhaul antennas comprise only 2 to 3 percent of a site’s deployment costs, it only makes sense to choose a solution that delivers all the performance you’re paying for.

ValuLine antennas deliver vastly superior TCO when compared to less expensive, noncompliant options.* When your revenue depends on smart management of spectrum re-use, high QoS and pure capacity, “bargain” antennas that fail are no bargain at all.

Improved design helps speed deploymentsValuLine has always been designed to adapt to fast-changing deployment requirements and to ensure rapid network deployment.

Lighter than ever, ValuLine antennas come with redesigned radomes optimized for broadband, supporting frequencies from 6 GHz to 42 GHz. Plus, innovative new mount designs require less boresight offset, for more compact installations and improved link quality—all with less technician time on the tower.

Time is money—ValuLine saves you both in every deployment

ValuLine antennas are lighter and are packaged smaller than other Class 3 options, so they:

• Ship fast with less expense

• Install quickly and easily

Modularity reduces lead times

ValuLine is built on a modular architecture built to evolve with your changing network needs.

This makes it possible to shorten lead times dramatically—making even next-day shipment possible in certain circumstances.

Compliance matters more than everCost pressures can make a less-expensive antenna look pretty good on paper, but what really matters is how that antenna will perform in the real world. That low-cost antenna may shave 1 percent off your site deployment costs, but what will it wind up costing you later?

A Comsearch® study showed that low-quality, noncompliant antennas can miss availability targets by 20 percent or more.* That represents lost revenue, lost trust—and lost customers.

ValuLine solutions are the product of advanced manufacturing processes and undergo complete factory testing for performance, PIM and durability before they ever arrive on your site. It’s the only way we can ensure your capacity, availability and quality of service (QoS)—so you can ensure your customers’ satisfaction.

Commsearch case study results using low quality, non-compliant antennas:

15 GHz band 19% of the backhaul network failed

18 GHz band 29% of the backhaul network failed

23 GHz band 21% of the backhaul network failed

ValuLine: the best choice is now the easy choice Keeping ahead of growing demand requires that your network offer many things: capacity, availability, efficiency and performance. A breakdown in any one of these factors can degrade your network and jeopardize revenues. That’s why ValuLine goes the extra mile to deliver more of what your network needs right now—and a promise to be there to help you overcome tomorrow’s challenges as well.
