The increased need for cellular coverage everywhere is placing a burden on facility and building managers to ensure proper wireless propagation everywhere. Addressing this need, Advanced RF Technologies recently released the SDRC Series, a Part 20 repeater that can bring immediate wireless connectivity to small- and mid-sized buildings. It facilitates the provision of cellular coverage by streamlining the often-cumbersome process when establishing in-building wireless networks.
Equipped with four 4G/LTE RF bands as well as donor and server antenna, the SDRC package can be easily deployed to improve the existing wireless network; upgrades are simplified thanks to its modular architecture. The SDRC offers quad-band service in one chassis with digital filtering to significantly decrease the likelihood of interfering with adjacent mobile carrier macro networks.
The SDRC Series supports 4G/LTE 700-MHz, 850-MHz, PCS, and AWS bands out of the box, with up to five SDRC modules and one power-supply module. Remote network control and alarm monitoring is available via a web-based GUI. Features include hot-swappable modules to minimize downtime, 17-dBm max downlink output power, up to three channelized digital filters with sharp roll-off, and band equalization to balance out RF signal strength across all frequencies.
