Kaval’s advanced LinkNet VHF Service Module is a digitally controlled Class-A amplifier designed to operate within
the LinkNet Convergence Platform to extend coverage of the vhf (136-174 MHz) spectrum range.
Software configured, this broadband amplifier’s main function is to receive, amplify and transmit its designated
frequency range and to ensure that clean, clear signals arrive at their intended destination.
Because of LinkNet’s modular design, additional service modules can be added to keep pace with technological
advancements or changes in user demand, making LinkNet the most flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solution
on the market today.

Features & Benefits
Installation & Service Features All LinkNet Service Modules are
‘plug-and-play/unplug-and-remove’ to minimize installation
down time and eliminate the need for extensive service
equipment on site.
Hot Swappable Features LinkNet Service Modules can be added
or replaced within the LinkNet Convergence Platform without
powering down the system. This provides quick and easy
maintenance with no disruption to service.
Diagnostic Features Each LinkNet Service Module automatically
performs a self-diagnostic check when inserted into the chassis.
As well, all major fault conditions are constantly monitored,
including:
Primary power failure
Thermal management
Over-current/under-current

Product Deployment
Signals are received via an off air donor antenna located on
the exterior of the building, from a nearby macro cell site.*
The LinkNet Convergence platform converges and amplifies
signals which are then distributed to each floor via coaxial
cable. Kaval’s patented Tap-In signal taps and a series of
ceiling mounted antennas provide balanced coverage
throughout the building.
* Signals may be taken directly from base
station via fiber or T1connection if so desired.
