In-building enterprise cellular system. An active DAS hybrid that solves coverage issues for 3G/4G/LTE.
Model Number: Q34
Spotty cellular coverage, poor voice quality, dropped calls, and dead zones continue to plague employees and visitors in middleprise buildings. Cel-Fi QUATRA is an Active DAS Hybrid that solves this problem. It is an affordable, all-digital solution. It provides uniform, high quality cellular signal throughout a building, and is scalable to the size needed. Cel-FI QUATRA is carrier approved and guaranteed network safe.
Unlike older analog boosters and passive DAS technology, Cel-Fi QUATRA delivers a cellular signal that is up to 1000x stronger, utilizing CAT 5e cabling for RF and Power over Ethernet, with no signal attenuation right to the perimeter of the building. Cel-Fi QUATRA can be installed in just days (compared to months typical of other solutions), and at a price point that meets the middleprise budget.
A building’s occupants deserve great cellular coverage! The majority of cellular phone calls take place inside, but cell networks are outside. 80% of business users inside complain of poor coverage or dropped calls. A building’s materials, while improving energy efficiency, will block or inhibit cellular service from the outside network. To exacerbate the issue, cellular coverage is increasingly not optional. In fact, cellular coverage can be considered a safety or even regulatory requirement depending on the region. Building owners need a high-quality solution that can serve the middleprise and not take a year to deploy.
Integrators and Carriers have partnered with Cel-Fi to deliver a smart solution designed for middleprise buildings – Cel-Fi QUATRA solutions.
Speed of Installation, higher quality in-building cellular solutions, and cost savings – are some of the reasons building owners, facility managers, and IT professionals are making the smart investment in the Cel-Fi QUATRA solution.
Cel-Fi QUATRA is designed to improve indoor signal coverage without any risk of interference on the mobile network. Cel-Fi QUATRA provides a sophisticated network-safe solution that has been engineered to deliver multiple levels of network protection:
The Cel-Fi WAVE Platform cloud-based portal enables an operator to monitor signal KPI’s, such as channel configurations, RSRP, RSCP, SINR, and systems gains, providing control and optimization guidelines.
Cel-Fi QUATRA is an active DAS hybrid solution for delivering high quality in-building cellular coverage in middleprise venues. It combines the best of active DAS and the Cel-Fi technologies that have been widely adopted by carriers around the world. It operates in off-air mode or can be integrated with carrier small cell equipment and operated in distributed small cell mode, creating a Supercell. Cel-Fi QUATRA can be configured with components, for single or multi-carrier environments.
Cel-Fi QUATRA is a scalable solution that utilizes one or multiple Network Units, depending on the environment and size of the space, with up to four distributed Coverage Units connected to each Network Unit.
Cel-Fi QUATRA can be installed off-air, using either a MIMO panel or omni donor antenna to provide high-quality in‑building wireless connectivity. Cel-Fi QUATRA can be deployed by installers or IT personnel with Cat5e skills (no RF engineering skills needed).
A Supercell is comprised of a Cel-Fi QUATRA system connected to a small cell. Multiple Cel‑Fi QUATRA systems can be connected to a single small cell, or multiple small cells, to form a coordinated Supercell. A Supercell with Cel-Fi QUATRA is more efficient than multiple small cells, and the CUs of a Cel-Fi QUATRA system connected to a Supercell do not interfere with one another.
Cel-Fi QUATRA is available in two versions, with coordinating components. Multiple configurations are available by region and band specification.
Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000 is a Single Carrier MIMO Active DAS Hybrid that can be configured in Off-Air (with MIMO Panel Antenna) or Supercell modes. Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000 solutions are scalable and can be deployed alongside one another to deliver Dual Carrier coverage.
Cel-Fi QUATRA 2000 is a Dual Carrier Active DAS Hybrid that can be configured for an Off-Air donor antenna. Cel-Fi QUATRA 2000 solutions are scalable and can be deployed alongside one another to deliver Multi Carrier coverage.
Cel-Fi QUATRA was built with the integrator and installer in mind. Setup begins with planning, with installers using the Cel-Fi QUATRA BOM Estimator tool to capture basic environmental information. This then returns a list of equipment needed.
While IBWave is not needed for design, a variety of templates are available for download to accelerate the design phase. Cel-Fi QUATRA is an all-digital solution designed to eliminate the coax-related problem of signal attenuation over distance, and intelligently manage gain. During installation, Cel-FI AntennaBoost technology makes antenna mounting and pointing much easier, so that the process can be completed in minutes. The solution incorporates cloud-based software (WAVE) and an app for commissioning and maintenance, enabling installers to offer a variety of SLAs to customers.
Cel-Fi QUATRA Network Unit (NU) is the hub of the system. The scalable design works with one to four Coverage Units to provide up to 50,000 square feet (5,000 square meters) of coverage.
Cel-Fi QUATRA Coverage Unit (CU) is the remote unit of the system that rebroadcasts the donor signal. The cost efficient and easy-to-deploy system leverages Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) for up to four CUs.
A small cell may be used as the donor source for QUATRA. The Cel-Fi QUATRA Small Cell Interface (SCIF) simplifies RF connections between a small cell and NUs. It includes a main unit and all cables for a single NU.
Cel-Fi QUATRA Range Extender is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that extends the maximum distance between the NU and the CU.
This adapter kits can be used to connect the QUATRA NU to a coaxial cable for additional antenna placement options. Provide for a coax cable to be included in an off-air install for QUATRA with the MIMO Antenna.
