RF repeaters

Three power classes, one management stack

Cellular repeaters and bi-directional amplifiers for TETRA, DMR and P25, from 13 to 43 dBm.

Use it when a usable outdoor signal exists but does not reach inside the building, car park or tunnel.

Low-power repeater with LCD
Enclosures, power classes and functions
  • DoesAmplifies selected cellular bands, or TETRA, DMR and P25, between a donor antenna and the service antennas, with digital band-selective filtering.
  • BuiltThree power classes in wall-mount, 2U rack or cast-aluminium outdoor enclosures, up to 5 bands per unit.
  • ManagedGain adjustable over 31 dB in 1 dB steps; per-band level and VSWR monitoring, locally, or remotely over an LTE modem or a WiFi module that joins the site network.
Typical use and enclosure of each repeater power class
Low power13–⁠23 dBmTypically one car-park level, or one floor fed from a donor antenna or a DAS branch. Wall-mount, LCD.
Medium power27–⁠33 dBmTypically a multi-floor office or hospital building, or the feed of a passive DAS. Wall-mount or 2U rack.
High power37–⁠43 dBmTypically road and rail tunnels and large halls, or the donor of a larger system. Cast-aluminium outdoor enclosure.

Typical uses only: the right class follows from the link budget for your site.

Combiners & passive components

The passive side of the system

Combiners, duplexers, multi-operator POI and low-PIM passive components for in-building and tunnel systems.

Use it when several operators or services share one antenna system, or bands must be combined or separated around a repeater or DAS.

Cavity combiner for high-power systems
Combiner types, POI and passive specifications
  • DoesCombines, separates and splits bands between the signal sources, the active equipment and the antennas; POI with 1, 2 or 4 antenna ports.
  • BuiltSAW for low power, dielectric for medium power, cavity for high power; for the cavity combiners and POI, third-order PIM below −153 dBc at 2 × 43 dBm; other models per datasheet.
  • AdaptedCombiners matched to your band plan; wideband passive components for 136–⁠520 MHz and 614–⁠6000 MHz, with N, 4.3-10 or 7/16 DIN connectors.

Active DAS

Fibre-fed distributed antenna systems

A 2U master unit with 8 optical remote ports, and remote units from 100 mW to 20 W.

Use it when a large building, campus or long tunnel needs coverage in more places than one repeater and a passive network can reach.

Active DAS master unit with eight optical ports
Remote units and output powers
  • DoesCarries the signal from a base station or donor repeater over fibre to remote units placed where the coverage is needed.
  • BuiltMaster unit in a 2U rack; remote units in ceiling, wall-mount or outdoor enclosures; the indoor-only models can also take DC over hybrid fibre.
  • ManagedRadio over fibre, analogue or digital; remote units share the controller and management stack of the repeaters.

Frequency-shift repeaters

Microwave hops into places the macro network cannot reach

A donor unit and one or more remote units carry the cellular band over a microwave link.

Use it when a village, valley or remote site has neither fibre nor line of sight to the macro network; for a mine or long tunnel, the hop ends at the entrance and a DAS or radiating cable takes over inside.

Single-hop frequency-shift repeater link from a base station to a village beyond a ridge, the two link antennas in line of sightA donor unit next to the base station moves the cellular band onto a microwave link on a shifted frequency, in line of sight above the ridge; the remote unit on the far side converts it back and serves the coverage area.Base stationDonor unitmicrowave link on a shifted frequencyRemote unitCoverage area
Multi-hop links and how they work
  • DoesThe donor unit moves the cellular band onto a microwave link; the remote unit converts it back and radiates it in the coverage area.
  • BuiltA donor unit near the base station and one or more remote units, in single-hop or multi-hop configurations.
  • AdaptedThe number of hops and remote units follows from your link plan and the terrain between the sites.
  • BandsCellular bands as for the repeaters; link frequency per link plan and its spectrum licence; the donor unit is installed in agreement with the operator.
Multi-hop frequency-shift repeater link across two ridges, each hop in line of sightThe donor unit next to the base station sends the shifted band above the first ridge to a relay unit, which passes it above the second ridge to the remote unit that serves the coverage area.Base stationDonor unithop 1Relay unithop 2Remote unitCoverage area

Single-hop and multi-hop configurations for rural villages, mountain roads, the entrances of mines and long tunnels, and temporary coverage.

How to specify a combiner or POI

A combiner or POI is built for one system. With these points we can propose a filter type and a port layout.

What to send us
  • Operators and bands — each operator or service and the bands it brings, uplink and downlink
  • Inputs and outputs — the number of inputs, and the number of antenna ports
  • Power — the maximum power on each input
  • PIM — your PIM requirement and the test power it refers to
  • Connectors — N, 4.3-10 or 7/16 DIN
  • Mounting — indoor or outdoor, and rack, wall or cabinet mounting
  • Monitoring — test or monitoring ports, or other monitoring needs

Controller, remote management and software

The same controller and management stack in every repeater and remote unit, whatever the power class.

Mainboard, management interface and screenshots
Controller mainboard with Ethernet, RS-485, RS-232, WiFi and GPIO headers

Controller mainboard

Drives the LCD/LED panel and alarms; RS-485 ×2, RS-232, Ethernet, USB, WiFi and GPIO on board; 12 V input. The same controller across all power classes.

Remote-management interface

Plug-in LTE modem with SIM slot, so a unit reports to the management server without a site network; or a WiFi module that joins the site network.

Local and remote management

  • Local — LCD and keypad, RJ45, USB or WiFi: web UI in any browser, or the desktop management application
  • Remote — LTE modem, or a WiFi module that joins the site network, to a management server with a web console, hosted within the EU or on your own server
  • Per-band input/output level, PA VSWR and temperature; alarms, polling, logs
  • Site and equipment lists, user roles, operation history
  • Roadmap, in development — an open interface into the integrator's own monitoring platform
