RF Coverage Solutions
For indoor and outdoor coverage solutions, Andrew provides a full line of pico and micro class "off-air" RF repeaters and macro class "off-air" digital nodes. Designed as primary infrastructure, Andrew's repeaters and nodes are also ideal for any phase in deployments where cost, coverage, and quality must be enhanced and optimized.
Repeaters and Nodes provide RF signals for wide area coverage through antennas. All Andrew RF enhancer products are self-diagnosing, self-adaptive, and virtually maintenance free. All can be integrated into Andrew's A.I.M.O.S. Network Management Solution.
MR and Node-X Series repeaters for outdoor application enable high quality voice and high speed data service in areas where it was previously not available. Andrew's digital Node-X repeater removes antenna-to-antenna isolation problems through its ICE cancellation feature, rate QoS measurement statistics, and exact setups through an integrated measurement receiver (signal decoder). It communicates to the Andrew OMC (A.I.M.O.S.) through a circuit switch or packet data modem.
MR and Node-X Series repeaters in combination with a passive distribution system enable high quality voice and high speed data service in larger buildings where it was previously not available. Simple autosetup features enable quick and easy installation in larger buildings and can be tied over the air to the Andrew OMC (A.I.M.O.S.).
