Backhaul to the Future!

  • Sep 25, 2025

At Primus, partnership means more than providing products-it's about delivering value, longevity, and trust. By working side-by-side with our customers, we ensure solutions are not only reliable today but positioned to adapt as demands evolve tomorrow.

The rollout of 5G has accelerated worldwide, with more than 260 operators already live across 100+ countries. This rapid growth brings massive data demands, and every bit of that traffic must be carried back to the network core. For operators, the challenge is how to expand backhaul capacity efficiently while minimizing costs and complexity.

Microwave remains the backbone of backhaul, but expanding capacity isnít simple. Towers are already crowded with new technologies like massive MIMO, multiband gear, and higher-order modulation schemes. Adding more antennas creates issues with weight, wind loading, and leasing costs, not to mention risks of passive intermodulation and higher energy consumption.

Thatís where the ANDREW ValuLineÆ HX6-611-6WH/B dual-band, dual-polarization antenna comes in. This solution combines 6 GHz and 11 GHz band support in a single, rigorously tested design. By replacing multiple single-frequency antennas with one, operators can streamline deployments, cut structural requirements, and reduce operating expenses.

Beyond cost savings, the HX6-611-6WH/B improves link performance, simplifies frequency planning, and enhances spectral efficiency. It also leverages existing six-foot mounts, speeding installation and reducing the need for major infrastructure changes. The result: better network performance today and more flexibility for future growth.

Here at Primus, we believe in building partnerships that last. Our hands-on approach ensures every deployment adds real, measurable value. To learn more about ANDREW ValuLine Microwave Antennas, contact a Primus sales representative today.
