Ericsson introduced a new triple-band, tri-sector radio the company claims can do the job of nine single-band radios. 

The Radio 6646 product extends the multi-band capabilities of Ericsson's tri-sector products by combining 900 MHz, 800 MHz, and 700 MHz frequency bands into one radio with 2G to 5G functionality. Ericsson said the radio boosts 5G coverage and mid-band (3.5 GHz) performance to meet an “ever-growing need of communications service providers for more sustainable solutions.” 

The new product cuts energy consumption by 40% compared to triple-band single-sector radios, and sports a 60% reduction in weight to “further help CSPs to minimize deployment costs, tower rent, as well as carbon footprint.”
