Product Introduction The SMR-700/800 Repeater has been developed for use within enclosed structures where signal from local cell sites to operate cell phones is poor or unavailable. Adequate signal must be available outside the structure as a prerequisite to achieving in-building coverage. The SMR-700/800 Repeater is connected to an external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or more internal antennas placed strategically throughout the area where wireless service is desired.
Function Block diagram The function of the SMR-700/800 is as indicated in the block diagram above. • Multiplexer Block: combines several different frequencies into one or divides several different frequencies, combines and transfers the Network and iDEN A, or iDEN B, and transfers the DL and UL signal separately.
