    Signals are coupled off from a nearby base station using an Optical Master Unit (OMU) and then distributed via Fiber to one or more MBF-40 repeaters. The MBF-40's high output power allows for greater coverage whilst deploying fewer units. Even though providing high output power, the MBF-40 uses convection cooling, subsequently increasing the repeater's MTBF.
