CEL FI RS2 Multi-Carrier Cellular Indoor Coverage for German e-Plus/Base
Benefitto Consumers
- Improved Voice Coverage: Enables clear and reliable 3G voice connections within the coverage area — usually up to 1235 m2 (13,000 Sq. Ft.).
- Improved Data Throughput: For indoor areas with poor reception, Cel-Fi offers significant data throughput improvements — often in excess of four times the current rate!
- Improved Battery Life: Cel-Fi manages the power levels between the cell tower and user devices so that subscriber devices enjoy significant improvements in battery life.
- Ease of Installation: Cel-Fi is a true “Plug and Play” system that doesn’t require the installation of external antennas, bulky coaxial cables or a configuration set-up by the subscriber. In fact, Cel-Fi intelligently and automatically senses and adapts to its environment — including changes made by the Operator or those caused by nearby user equipment like WiFi, or other Cel-Fi devices.
Benefitto Operators
- Reduced Churn:
Fewer dropped calls and higher data rates help ensure customer retention.
- Higher Data Service Usage:
By supporting advanced multi-carrier features, the second generation Cel-Fi system ensures that customers can maximize their data rates.
- Decreased Operational Cost:
Lowers cost of indoor coverage and increases capacity of 3G networks.
- Network Safe:
Cel-Fi’s embedded System-On-a-Chip technology provides real-time and automatic end-to-end gain control, thus guaranteeing it will complement the existing macro network’s capabilities.
- Operator Specific:
Cel-Fi’s On-Board IntelliBoost processor securely manages the enhanced services only for the Operator who authorized the system.
- Self Adjusting:
Cel-Fi automatically selects the correct frequencies for use based on UARFCN and Operator PLMNID codes, thereby eliminating additional and costly Operator provisioning efforts.
- Multi Carrier Support:
The Cel-Fi RS2 system supports multiple carriers (up to three simultaneous).
Cel-Fi Features
• Fully wireless, plug-and-play architecture for supporting band I, IV, and V—WCDMA/HSPA+ with up to 100dB of system gain.
• Patented 2-unit, 3-hop system allows flexible placement for optimal coverage.
• Processor running advanced digital echo cancellation and channel select filtering algorithm.
• Software-based optimization of integrated antenna coverage pattern which maximizes system gain and provides improved coverage and signal quality.
• Automatic Gain Control (AGC) continuously monitors system path loss and transmit power to deliver maximum gain.
• Intuitive LED User Interface (UI) allows quick and easy installation by end-user.
Network-Safe Features
• Securely provisioned operation with ciphered software which only operates on authorized Operator’s network.
• Network-Safe software prevents uplink system gain from exceeding path loss, and eliminates unnecessary rise in base station noise level.
• Uplink Muting Mode automatically shuts down uplink cellular transmissions when no active user equipment is detected.
• Embedded software ensures optimal performance and prevents out-of-specification operation.
• System shuts down upon Operator’s network command or failure detection.
• Maintains end-to-end cellular communication encryption without additional risk of vulnerability.
• Peaceful coexistence with adjacent Cel-Fi systems, 802.11a/b/g/n, cellular, and femtocell devices.
