Products

System Features

• Cellular Signal BoosterTM
• Simple installation
• Clean and compact industrial design.
• LED User Interface (UI).
• Integrated antennas.
• Auto-configured & Self-Contained.
• May also be used where 5GHz channel space is restricted (Cel-Fi PRIME does not utilise a wireless link between Network and Coverage Units).
• Unlocked: Cell phones do not need to be registered with Cel-Fi PRIME to benefit.
• Peaceful coexistence with adjacent Cel-Fi systems.
• Remote software update capability.
• Support for Nextivity WAVE mobile & desktop applications.
• End-to-end cellular communication encryption without additional risk of vulnerability.
• Mounting bracket included.

Wireless Features

• Supports voice and data services: WCDMA/HSPA+/LTE (FDD).
• System gain up to 80 dB using internal integrated Donor antenna in each supported band, simultaneously.
• Max EIRP for multiple carriers: 12.5 dBm downlink and 24 dBm uplink, per band*.
• Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) communication with smartphones.
• Peaceful coexistence with adjacent 802.11 (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz), femtocell, and cellular devices.
• Automatic Gain Control (AGC) based on fast real-time echo-cancellation.
• Advanced digital echo-cancellation (>30dB) and channel select filtering algorithms.
• Cel-Fi actively manages the cellular link between the cell tower and user devices.
• Extremely linear RF front end.
• Adaptive signal equalisation.
• Based on Nextivity’s 3rd-generation (ARES) chipset.

Mobile Network and Network Protection Features

• The Cel-Fi design satisfies emerging regulatory requirements to improve performance and protect networks (FCC, ACME, Ofcom).
• Support for E-UTRA bands 1 (2100 MHz) & 3 (1800 MHz).
• Cel-Fi simultaneously supports multiple channels with cellular bandwidths from 5 to 20 MHz.
• Electrically steerable antennas to combat pilot pollution and ensure the best possible donor signal
• Total system relay bandwidth of 40 MHz.
• Support for 3GPP Rel. 10 features.
• Seamless integration with the Macro networks.
• Provider specific booster: Cel-Fi PRIME boosts service only for the Operator PLMNIDs the device is authorised & configured for.
• Secure and ciphered provisioning.
• Software-managed system intelligence prevents uplink system gain from exceeding path loss, eliminating unnecessary rise in base station noise level.
• Uplink Muting Mode automatically shuts down uplink cellular transmissions when no active user equipment is detected.
• System shuts down upon Operator’s network command or failure detection.
• Location Lock, which ensures the device is only being used in the location it was deployed to (software configuration option).
• User/System Registration options available.

System Benefits

• Improve indoor cellular coverage!
• Anyone can install the device. Simply attach to window frame or wall with mount (included) and plug in.
• The unit can be displayed, or easily placed in the background.
• No external antenna mounting and cabling required.
• No setup or ongoing maintenance needed, nor reliance upon internet, GPS, or handsets to be configured on the system.
• Product Registration, Software Updates, and Engineering application support, with the WAVE app.
• Simpler remote maintenance of devices in the field, with Nextivity WAVE cloud access.
• Any subscriber device from the configured Operator will benefit from improved coverage.
• All cellular communications remain encrypted and secure.
• Multiple systems can be deployed without concern for mutual interference.
• User Interface (UI) LED provides instant visual feedback for ease of setup.

Wireless Benefits

• Clear and reliable voice connections within coverage area — up to 100 m2 , more for open spaces.
• Real-time adapting capability ensures the best possible user experience, in actual user environments, which are constantly changing, with a variety of Wi-Fi types and cellular signals present.
• Bluetooth LE enables the system to communicate with smartphones and the Cel-Fi WAVE mobile app, improving the user experience and adding capability to the product.
• Ensures maximum gain – best coverage – at all times in ever changing RF environments, without user intervention.
• Subscriber devices transmit much less power and enjoy improvements in battery life.
• Linearity virtually eliminates Intermodulation Desense (IMD) issues.
• Maximises signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio – provides better data rates without negatively impacting macro cells.
• Allows for 30dB or more signal gain than traditional boosters – which means more coverage, safely.
• Cel-Fi remains fully functional, even when there are other RF emitters present.

Mobile Network and Network Protection Benefits

• Supports LTE and UMTS/WCDMA.
• Easily supports multiple band and frequency configurations on a cellular network with one device.
• Reduce returns, customer care calls, and provide the best product experience to users.
• Unlike wideband amplifiers, ensure the equipment capex benefits only your network – third-party macro cells are not boosted by Cel-Fi PRIME.
• Network operators can be assured Cel-Fi devices are being used as intended, with registration and location lock options.
• Completely network safe, doesn’t degrade macro capacity. Ultimate control of the devices in the field resides with the network operator.
