@Arjun Chandrashekar
smart antenna means variable signal strength. overall economic (not the setup) but when strength of the transmitting signal reaches maximum to reach some remote client(s).. well it’s a bit more harmful to the surrounding area.

AIRCEL IS GROWING AGGRESSIVE BUT THEY NEED TO IMPLEMENT THE BTS IN A MAXIMUM NUMBER TO IMPROVE THE COVERAGE AND THEY NEED TO SETUP SMART ANTENNAS WHICH IN TURN IMPROVES INDOOR COVERAGE.
