Wraparound Fusion AW4032 from Alpha Wireless
Discreet. High-Performance
As mobile network operators (MNOs) and neutral hosts accelerate 5G rollouts, one common challenge continues to hold back progress: securing suitable small-cell sites in busy, space-restricted urban environments. Every centimetre of street-level real estate counts. From councils to contractors, the pressure is on to improve coverage without cluttering the urban landscape.
The new AW4032 from Alpha Wireless directly addresses this challenge with a smart, modular antenna platform that fits seamlessly into existing city infrastructure—no sidearms, no bulky mounts, no added visual pollution.

Making Small Cells Possible Where They Weren’t Before
One of the biggest barriers to small-cell densification worldwide is the lack of approved mounting options. Traditional side-arm installations introduce structural load, create visual obstructions, and often fail to meet council aesthetic requirements — especially in high-traffic areas, business districts, pedestrian malls, and streetscapes designed around heritage or modern design guidelines.
The AW4032 avoids all of this.
Its dual modular sections lock together around existing lamp posts, streetlights, or similar pole structures. This means:
- No sidearm mounts
- Minimal added weight
- A clean, concealed antenna with near-zero visual impact
- Faster deployment approvals
- Broader access to otherwise restricted sites
For operators and neutral hosts, this design opens new doors — literally — to locations that were previously off-limits.
Performance That Doesn’t Compromise on Size
While its footprint is small, the AW4032 delivers big performance:
- 16-port, multiband, omnidirectional configuration
- True 360° horizontal coverage
- Coverage across 1695–2690 MHz and 3300–4200 MHz
- 4×4 MIMO for maximum throughput
- Wide elevation beamwidth for strong signal penetration
- High gain for improved signal-to-noise ratio across the entire small cell

This makes the AW4032 ideal for urban hot spots, high-capacity venues, transport hubs, stadium precincts, and dense commercial districts — any environment where coverage and capacity demand are high.
Aesthetic Deployment for Real-World Urban Networks
The AW4032 has already been deployed discreetly onto existing street furniture — blending into the environment while delivering reliable 5G mid-band coverage. By utilising infrastructure that’s already in place, operators reduce cost, accelerate rollout, and build public trust through visually unobtrusive network enhancements.
This is especially important as councils and communities around the world place increasing scrutiny on the appearance of telecom infrastructure.
The AW4032 is a solution that strengthens networks without weakening the streetscape.
Part of the Small Cell Fusion Platform
The AW4032 expands Alpha Wireless’ Small Cell Fusion Platform, a family of antennas designed specifically for urban densification. Together, these solutions make small-cell deployment more flexible, scalable, and visually acceptable — three essential factors for achieving meaningful 5G performance in real-world conditions.
The Bottom Line
The AW4032 antenna platform delivers a rare combination of aesthetics, performance, and deployment flexibility, allowing operators to bring 5G coverage to places where traditional antennas simply cannot go.
In a world where small-cell expansion is vital to 5G success, the AW4032 makes it possible to densify without disrupting the urban environment.
If you’re looking to unlock more usable sites, improve mid-band 5G performance, and reduce visible street clutter — this solution is worth a closer look.
