RF Boosters
RF Boosters are highly efficient, multicarrier, high power amplifiers that are used in conjunction with a repeater to increase the maximum output power of a signal in the downlink. Boosters are suitable for indoor, in-tunnel, in-train, and building applications.
- Band selective units are usable with all technologies
- Gain of unit is optimized to compensate for cable loss to radiating point
- Control of Andrew RET antennas is possible with unit in line
- Integrated LNA reduces overall noise figure in the uplink to help maintain balance in both paths
- Use in either initial repeater installation or as a retrofit in the field.
- Available for most frequency bands, including 450 MHz, LMR800, AMPS800, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, UMTS2100, and Wi-Fi2400
- Soft-fail redundancy on selected units
- Optional sector configuration available on selected units

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Andrew's Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides high quality ac power for electronic equipment loads, especially for outside repeater systems.
- Continuity of electrical power for at least 20 minutes up to 8 hours, within the defined limits and without interruption, when commercial ac source fails or degrades from overload, surges, or spikes
- Hot swap battery replacement for easy, fast maintenance
Battery Backup Units
Low capacity batteries (BBU) operate controller and modem only for at least 10 minutes or provide UPS autonomy of 20+ minutes to 8+ hours. The BBU is standard on Node Series and optional on MR Series. UPS is optional on all series.
