In-building Wireless Repeaters
850 MHz Cellular and 1900 MHz PCS
ADC’s new in-building repeater product line offers powerful and cost-effective solutions to 
enhance indoor coverage for small to medium-size enterprise venues. This simple-to-use device 
is optimal for augmenting RF coverage in offices buildings, retail stores, warehouses, and other 
facilities between 50,000 to 100,000 square feet. The repeater features a compact design, blends 
easily into any facility, and is easy to set up through a simple GUI interface. The device offers the 
flexibility to program band selection and optimizes alarm and performance settings as desired.  
The repeater may also be used in conjunction with a distributed antenna system (DAS).
Benefits:
Low maintenance RF repeater system - set it and forget about it 
Band selectivity for Cellular & PCS
     •  Choose either a 5MHz block, a 15MHz block or any combination of a 5 & 15MHz block:  
    A, D, B, E, F and C
     •  Choose either Cellular A, A’, A“ or B and B’
Excellent selectivity, each band has discrete IF SAW filters to mitigate interference
Easy installation
User-friendly GUI interface
Provides product performance status via LED lights & optional enhanced alarm and management 
through on-board modem

System Description 
The repeater transmits RF in both directions to provide indoor wireless coverage. The device is connected 
via coax to a donor antenna that is typically located on a rooftop or external wall of a building, directed 
at the donor cell-site. The repeater is mounting inside the building and distributes the RF over coax to an 
indoor antenna located in the desired coverage area.
Typical Installation
GUI Features
Automatic Level Control (ALC)
The system will control the output power to 
maintain the stability and protect the unit.
Sleep Mode
Mode is activated when the reverse output RF 
power shows below -65dBm for over 3 minutes. 
The system re-activates to the wake up mode if 
the signal reaches over -65dBm. 
Band Selection
The BDA offers programmable band selection.
Isolation Check
There is isolation check for the forward path 
and reverse path when the system is set up and 
powered on.
User-friendly Interface 
USB connection allows you to control;
  •  sleep mode
  •  band selection
  •  on/off system controls
Over Power Shut Down
The system can detect if there is excessive 
power and will shut down to protect the unit 
and will automatically resume operation when 
normal power levels are reached.
