Base Station Repeater

The Cell-enhancer with an EDGE
Avitecs Frequency Translating repeater provides as much coverage as a macro base station does and this to a fraction of the cost! In addition, Avitecs cell-enhancers are truly EDGE compatible with a very low EVM value. This combination of both superior linearity and high output power ensures elevated data throughput and great signal quality. Due to the increased isolation requirement in EDGE environments, the Frequency Translating technology plays an even larger role as a cost-effective alternative to both base stations and conventional repeaters. All of Avitecs repeaters are monitored by an advanced and user-friendly supervision system, leading to less outage time and thereby to greater revenue

Main Benets
Cover large areas at a minimised cost
Through a New Generation of GSM repeaters you will be able to cover larger areas through: Macro Base Station Output power (20W) is achieved with Avitecs repeater Reduced cost of site deployment by employing the Frequency Translating concept Quick & easy site acquisition since there is no need for line of sight between base station and repeater

EDGE the path to Mobile Internet

The merge between Internet and mobility enables you to get more revenue from your installed base where Avitec can provide: GSM repeater with EDGE capabilities with an output power of +40 dBm GSM/EDGE repeater that meet the higher demands of interference and noise Large coverage and effective isolation at a minimised cost

Effective Rollout and management of network elements

An efcient rollout and a fully functional operations & maintenance form the basis for cost-effective planning of network extensions: Central management solution with advanced Remote Control and Supervision tools Short learning curve through fast repeater set-up and user-friendly commis sioning tool Reporting tools enabling optimised planning of network extension

Band Shifting Technology
Operators with licenses within both GSM 900 and 1800 bands have through the Avitecs Band Shifting Repeaters the possibility to use link frequencies on the GSM1800 band, while providing coverage on the GSM900 band. Such a solutions eliminates the isolation requirement altogether, resulting in shorter masts. Installation as well as site acquisition is simplied. In other words, Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) are signicantly reduced.

Frequency Translating
A Frequency Translating EDGE Repeater provides much larger coverage than a conventional repeater does. This is due to the higher output power that is realized through decreasing the isolation requirements. As a result, a fewer number of units need to be installed and considerable cost-savings are achieved. Even omni-antennas can be used at the remote site. Frequency translation technology allows the use of an omni directional antenna at the repeater site. By shifting the frequency, the isolation requirements are reduced and lower masts can therefore be used. This also enables high output powers, in other words, large areas can be covered at a minimised cost.

Server Antenna Link Antenna Directional Coupler

1. The donor unit is installed next to the base station where the signal is coupled off via a directional coupler. 2. Following frequency translation, the signals are transmitted on a link antenna and received at the remote site where signals are converted back to the original frequencies. 3. Finally, the signals are amplied in the remote unit and then transmitted on a server antenna.

The donor unit is available in two types: The Single Donor (SD) unit has one input connector. The input signal from the BTS is split up within the repeater unit. In the opposite direction in the uplink the signals are combined within the repeater before being sent to the BTS. The Double Donor (DD) unit has dual inputs. This can be used in combination with a BTS that uses air combining, and hence has a separate antenna for each TRU. A double donor unit can alternatively handle two signals from two separate BTS. The remote unit is available in two types: In an Internal combining Remote (IR) unit output from the power ampliers in the downlink is combined and ltered before being passed on to the server antenna. In the uplink the signal is separated within the remote unit. An External combining Remote (ER) unit has two server antenna ports and the signal is combined in the air. Since the ER model needs no combiner the output signal and gain is 3dB higher than in the IR model.
