Cirtek Holdings Philippines Corp. said Monday its US-based telecom base station antenna unit entered the Hawaii market.
Cirtek said in a disclosure to the stock exchange Monday Quintel USA Inc. included Hawaii as a new market under its service coverage area in North America.
“Quintel has delivered its first batch of orders from Hawaii and will continue to help the island state improve its network in 2022 as the telco continues with its infrastructure upgrades to support the market’s growing wireless demand,” Cirtek said.
Cirtek said Quintel would support the islands of Hawaii with its new antenna portfolio. “The 5G NR launch is the first in Hawaii using the 850 band. Our antennas provide independent tilt option when using these dual band radio. This means that the network optimization can independently control the coverage footprint of 5G which is in the 850 band and the 4G in the 700 band,” it said.
Quintel is also poised to release other antenna solutions in 2022 to help increase the network’s data throughput, it said.
