    In addition, Deko2119 features a special configuration for dual-band coverage using a Combiner. It enables interconnecting with another Mini-Repeater, such as Deko2408, to provide coverage in the Deko2119 bandwidth as well as for CDMA by Deko2408. The dual-band combination supports a single Distribution Antenna System to provide coverage by different providers.
