Abstract:
Methods of configuring base station antennas are provided in which reconfiguration data is transmitted to a controller of the antenna from a remote location. Connections between a plurality of remote electronic tilt (RET) units that are mounted within the antenna and a plurality of control ports of the antenna are then reconfigured in response to receipt of the reconfiguration data.
