CSFT438
DIGITAL FREQUENCY SHIFTING REPEATER
Large outdoor coverage footprint due to high gain and output
power
Extensive remote control and supervision capabilities
Software Defined Radio technology gives low delay and
high selectivity
Time slot based Automatic Level Control eliminates nearfar effects
Frequency Shifting technology allows very high gain with low antenna
isolation
The frequency shifting TETRA repeater can provide a much large coverage compared to a conventional
repeater. This is due to the reduced antenna isolation requirements, which allow higher gain and
consequently higher output power from the repeater.
The CSFT438 is primarily intended for rural area applications, where the terrain conditions normally would
require a large number of base station sites for seamless coverage. The frequency shifting concept is based
on a donor unit CSFT438D, placed near the base station, which connects to the remote unit CSR438R over
the air using free channels within the operational frequency band.
The CSFT438 can distribute 2 or 4 channels from the selected donor base station. The donor unit
CSFT438D can be physically connected to the base station transmit and receive ports through directional
couplers. Both the donor and the remote unit can be remotely controlled and supervised via a built-in
wireless modem.

Axell 3178B
700/800 MHz RF MID-POWER BI-DIRECTIONAL AMPLIFIER
Band selective, mid-power BDA for public safety,
In-building and outdoor networks
Dual-band 700/800 MHz in a single unit
Composite power +31dBm
RF SAW filtering
Small footprint and lightweight for easy maintenance
The Axell 3178B is a dual-band 700/800 MHz band selective mid-power bi-directional amplifier in a single
compact unit.
Specially designed for public safety in-door and outdoor networks, the Axell 3178B small footprint and
flexible installation options minimize interference with operations on the floor on which it is installed.
The uplink and downlink path gains can be manually adjusted over a 30dB range. Each path has an AGC
circuit which limits the output power to prevent unwanted signal distortion. A LED indicates when the AGC
limit has been reached.
It can be installed in a rack, mounted on a wall or on the ceiling. Its relatively low weight which allows
mounting and maintenance by a single person, in addition to the simple commissioning procedure that does
not require a high level technician, provides significant savings on labor costs.
The Axell 3178B supports remote monitoring. This is implemented by connecting an external dialer
(purchased separately) to dry contact alarms located on the unit external panel. The efficient thermal design
of the Axell 3178B, careful component selection and robust design provides a reliable, cost-effective system
for public-safety in-building or outdoor coverage.

Axell 4078D
700/800 MHz DIGITAL MULTI-CHANNEL RF SIGNAL BOOSTER
High-power, signal booster that supports APCO 25
for public safety networks
Automatic gain control (AGC) per channel
Web based, local and remote monitoring and control
Patented DSP filtering technology
Supports up to 24 independent filters with
user programmable bandwidth / frequency
User-selectable adjacent channel rejection
and time delay to minimize interference
Channel selectivity and adjacent channel
rejection exceeds FCC requirements
IP65 enclosure
Axell 4078D is a high-power digital multichannel signal booster (DCSB) that features an array of up to 24
DSP based, software-controlled, variable bandwidth filters, user-programmable across the 700 and 800
MHz bands.
Axell 4078D supports all public safety technologies. In addition to specifying the center frequency of each
filter, the user can select a filter from a drop down list that has several choices for each passband that vary
in time delay and filter slope; this gives the engineer the unique ability to trade off the adjacent channel
rejection and time delay interference for the coverage area permitting the use of the Axell 4078D in
applications where no other booster solution will work.
Every parameter of Axell 4078D including filter tuning and selection is software controlled either locally or
remotely via a wireless modem. The control software is the Axell Wireless intuitive and user friendly Remote
Management Tool, which is provided with every unit.
The patented Axell Wireless digital RF filter not only enables simple initial setup for any channel plan, but if
necessary even permits a simple reconfiguration because of rebanding.
The booster protects against degradation of the systems sensitivity and coverage thanks to the inbuilt AGC
per-channel feature, which permits equalization of the channel levels for uniform coverage and will
selectively squelch nearby, high power mobiles.
With the new IP65 box, the Axell 4078D can easily be used in both indoor and outdoor applications.

Axell 2108S
800 MHz RF MINI REPEATER
Band-selective mini repeater for public safety and iDEN networks
IF SAW filtering tunable, sharp out-of-band signal rejection
Intuitive Web management GUI - local or remote (via external
modem) connection
Axell Wireless Operating and Management Center (OMC) support
SmartALC technology
Prevents oscillations and balances coverage
Automatically sets optimum gain
Ensures transparent network operation
The Axell 2108S is an 800MHz band selective mini repeater, specially designed for public safety and iDEN
applications.
The Axell 2108S has switchable and tunable IF-SAW filters for very high out-of-band rejection as well as a
simple way to reselect and retune the pass band.
Axell 2108S incorporates software-controlled interference rejection, which allows the user to move away
from interference created from nearby cellular networks. Axell 2108S includes Axell Wireless proprietary
SmartALC power control algorithm.
SmartALC is more than simple gain control; it automatically optimizes the gain setting by learning the actual
range of RSSI levels over a user-specified period of time.
SmartALC prevents oscillations, reduces the amount of isolation required by the system and optimizes the
system to minimize noise rise at the donor cell site. SmartALC allows the installer to quickly set up the unit,
yet still achieve the design goals specified by the system engineer. Axell 2108S features three tri-color front
panel LEDs that provide ongoing status and alarm indication. In addition, the Downlink status LED can be
used during setup as an RSSI level indicator to help align the donor antenna for optimal performance.
Axell 2108S supports Intuitive Web management GUI that can be accessed using any standard browser (no
client installation required) through a local or remote (via external modem) connection.
In addition, Axell 2108S can be remotely monitored and controlled through the Axell Wireless OMC solution
(via external modem).

Axell 2408S
800 MHz LMR RF MINI SIGNAL BOOSTER
Band selective for mini booster for SMR, ESMR
and public safety networks
IF-SAW filtering high out-of-band rejection
Indoor coverage up to 50,000 square feet
Features Axell Wireless SmartALC technology
Switchable bandwidth option
User-selectable and tunable across the 800 MHz band
Accommodates all rebanding phases without changing hardware
The Axell 2408S is available with a single frequency block or two non-contiguous blocks. For single block
applications, the switchable bandwidth feature is available. With this feature, the unit is configured with three
possible frequency blocks that the operator can specify. One of the three blocks is selected by the user and
tuned to the desired frequency during set up. This permits the user to select the optimum passband for each
of the rebanding phases without the need to change any hardware.
The standard configurations accommodate most of the passband requirements for public safety, ESMR and
SMR networks including the Southeast region.
The Axell 2408S includes Axell Wireless proprietary SmartALC power control algorithm. SmartALC
prevents oscillations, reduces the amount of isolation required by the system and optimizes the system to
minimize noise rise at the donor site. SmartALC allows the installer to quickly set up the unit, yet still
achieve the design goals specified by the system engineer.
The Axell 2408S features three tri-color front panel LEDs that provide ongoing status and alarm indication.
In addition, the Downlink status LED can be used during setup as a received signal strength level indicator
to help align the donor antenna for optimal performance. The efficient thermal characteristics of the Axell
2408S, careful component selection and robust design result in high system reliability.

Axell 4008D
800 MHz DIGITAL MULTI -CHANNEL RF SIGNAL BOOSTER
High-power, signal booster that supports TETRA and APCO 25
for public safety networks
Automatic gain control (AGC) per channel (squelch mechanism)
Web based, local and remote monitoring and control
Patented DSP filtering technology
Supports up to 12 independent filters;
user programmable bandwidth / frequency
User-selectable adjacent channel rejection
and time delay to minimize interference
Private Line (PL) detection option
IP65 enclosure
Axell 4008D is a high-power digital multichannel signal booster (DCSB) that features an array of up to 12
DSP based, software-controlled, variable bandwidth filters, user-programmable across the 800 MHz bands.
Axell 4008D supports all public safety technologies. In addition to specifying the center frequency of each
filter, the user can select a filter from a drop down list that has several choices for each passband that vary
in time delay and filter slope; this gives the engineer the unique ability to trade off the adjacent channel
rejection and time delay interference for the coverage area permitting the use of the Axell 4008D in
applications where no other booster solution will work.
Every parameter of Axell 4008D including filter tuning and selection is software-controlled either locally or
remotely via a wireless modem.
The control software is the Axell Wireless Remote Management Tool which is provided with every unit and
is intuitive and user-friendly. The patented Axells digital RF filter not only enables simple initial setup for any
channel plan but permits a simple reconfiguration later if necessary because of rebanding. The booster also
features a per channel AGC that permits equalization of the channel levels for uniform coverage and will
selectively squelch nearby, high power mobiles that would otherwise degrade system sensitivity and
coverage.
The PL detection option based on CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) will enable using the
same frequency for several networks according to the specific PL code.

D-MBR - Americas
DIGITAL MULTI-BAND REPEATER
Designed to meet North American frequency requirements
Up to four frequency bands in one compact enclosure
Software Defined Filtering of up to 12 sub-bands in each frequency band
Band modules for 700MHz (LTE), 850MHz (Cellular), 1700MHz (AWS) and 1900MHz (PCS)
Individual gain and ALC settings for each sub-band for single and multi-operator applications
Ideal for flexible In-building applications
Complies with TS 36.106 (LTE) and TS 25.106 (WCDMA) standards
Supports 700MHz upper and lower bands simultaneously
The new Digital Multi-Band Repeater (D-MBR) from Axell Wireless is a flexible, multi-band coverage solution
optimized for in-building applications. The D-MBR is based on the Axell Wireless innovative digital filtering
technology which support current and future frequency allocation. Up to four different frequency bands can be
implemented in one repeater casing. The solution can be equipped with modules covering the 700MHz, 850MHz,
1700MHz and 1900MHz bands. For each of these frequency bands, the D-MBR can provide selection and
amplification of up to 12 sub bands of programmable bandwidth with the new software defined filtering module.
Using an advanced ALC mechanism each one of the sub bands has an individual gain and ALC setting.
The Digital Mulitband repeater has a separate module for each frequency band. This architecture allows
redundancy, i.e. failure in one of the band modules will not have any impact on the other band modules.
Dedicated DSP per band allows the support of full bandwidth for each band without any limitation. The D-MBR is

OMU
EXPANDABLE SOLUTION
Each OMU can be equipped with up to six optical modules and therefore support up to six fiber-fed remote
units. If additional repeaters are to be fed from the same base station, it is simple to expand the system with
additional OMU units that in total will support up to 24 fiber-fed remote units.
REMOTE SUPERVISION
Only one modem is needed to communicate with an OMU and its fiber fed repeaters. The modem types
available are GSM, PSTN, TCP/IP and even GSM-R. The modem is found inside the OMU and
communication with the fiber fed remote units is transparently handled via the fiber that connects them. The
system can be managed via the Axell Wireless Repeater supervision and remote control software tool, AEM
(Axell Wireless Element Manager). All communication between the OMU and the repeaters both data
communication and the transferred RF signal is managed over the same fiber link, which results in a very
reliable supervision of the radio link.
The OMU supports VHF, TETRA, TETRAPOL, GSM-R, UMTS and GSM900, GSM1800 ,1900MHz and
2600MHz frequency bands and is always used in combination with one or several fiber fed repeater(s).

BSF424
FIBER OPTIC REPEATER
Supports the use of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
technology resulting in a limited need for fibers.
Remote supervision and alarm handling in the BSF424 is
realized through the fiber connection via the OMU units
modem or optional via built in modem
The unique combination of high output power and highly
linear power amplifiers ensures large coverage with
uniformly excellent signal quality
The BSF424 can optionally be upgraded with a second
optical transceiver module for redundant fiber applications
The BSF424 is a fiber optic fed UHF repeater. The repeater is part of a system that is fed from an Optical
Master Unit (OMU). The maximum optical loss allowed for is 10 dB of fiber between the OMU and the most
distant last remote unit that the OMU supports. This offers great flexibility when providing RF coverage in
areas where it is not possible to rely on off air transmission. The fiber optic system is easily remotely
monitored and controlled by Axell Wireless effective supervision tool, Axell Wireless Element Manager.

The Multi-Band Fiber Optic (MBF) fed radio head provides solutions for indoor and outdoor environments. It
offers seamless coverage for indoor environments such as tunnels, subways and large buildings and for
outdoor environments the MBF can be deployed to augment and/or replace Macro Cells.
The MBF-High Power provides up to +39 dBm composite output power while utilizing convection cooling
techniques eliminating the need for fans and increasing Mean Time Between Failure (MBTF) values. The
higher output power levels decrease the number of MBF nodes required
for deployment which in turn lowers capital and reoccurring costs.
Axell Wireless' robust fiber optic system allows MBF nodes to be installed
up to 12.5 miles from the base station providing greater flexibility when
designing radio frequency (RF) coverage for outdoor distributed antenna
systems. Furthermore, Axell Wireless can provide a complete line of

Network Optimization
The AEM can be used as a tool for network optimization; repeater traffic reports are stored in a database
where they can be interrogated to optimize the network based on utilization statistics.
Excellent Overview
The network elements can be presented either on geographical maps or in logical tree structures where the
relationship between network elements are made clear which can be a valuable tool when it comes to
network planning and troubleshooting
The AEM is a complete operations and maintenance software application designed to supervise and control
repeater networks. It is an advanced yet user-friendly application that gives easy access to all information
about a network. Each repeater or element can be monitored separately or the whole network can be
presented in one overview chart.
The network elements can be assigned to geographical maps to further enhance the overview of the
installation. A logical tree shows the relationship and hierarchical build-up between the network elements this includes both base stations and repeaters. Alarm sources indicate if faults have occurred in any of the
repeaters and an extensive reporting tool enable optimized planning of the networks coverage.
A repeater can be fully monitored and controlled via the AEM. In the status
window parameters such as channel numbers, uplink and downlink peak
power, status of different repeater parameters, external alarms, etc. are
displayed.
Other windows display hardware configuration, alarm log, sent messages
log, traffic and heartbeat log.
A network is configured by adding repeaters to it, placing them on a
geographical or logical map and also placing them structurally in the system
and finally by configuring the AEM repeaters settings.
These settings are phone numbers, report intervals, etc. Base stations can
also be included in the network. They can be configured geographically and
structurally in the AEM, but need no other configuration.
