AntennAlign Alignment Tool (AAT)
Field-proven, High-quality Antenna Alignment Solution
Overview
Sunsight’s AntennAlign Alignment Tool (AAT) utilizes leading-edge techniques to deliver
unprecedented performance that helps ensure the integrity of your RF designs are maintained
when wireless networks are deployed, installed, and operated. Incorporating a number of
exclusive features, the AAT is the most accurate and durable tool on the market, and eliminates
costly site re-visits and re-climbs, saving time and money.
The AAT is simple to operate and is available in a variety of mounting options to meet the most
challenging antenna configurations. After mounting, the installer adjusts the antenna according
to pre-determined specifications until all positions align, then tightens the mounting brackets
and presses the “capture” button to store the final alignment specifications, along with other
key parameters, such as latitude, longitude, installer, and current date/time. Comprehensive
reports can be generated by the AAT for documentation purposes.
Performance Highlights
Highest Accuracy – The AAT integrates accelerometers, global positioning satellites, and laser
range finding to take precise antenna measurements. A unique two-GPS system approach is
used for real-time accurate azimuth measurements up to +/-0.3° RMS and +/-1.0° R99, and
downtilt and roll captures to an accuracy of +/-0.25°. This means antennas are installed correctly
the first time, eliminating site re-climbs and re-visits. The AAT also helps ensure designed coverage
and improve carrier to interference-plus-noise ratios (CINR) for faster 4G LTE data throughput
and better coverage for all networks, including 2G/3G.
Design
The AAT utilizes a durable powder-coated
aluminum housing, and has been proven
to be more reliable in the field than
comparable instruments. The AAT is sealed
from dust contaminants and resistant to
harsh weather conditions. The FCC- and CE-certified AAT also features
a Sunsight exclusive noise-shielding design that allows it to work in
“hot” RF environments where other tools fail.
