MR918 Repeater
Indoor Coverage for 900 MHz GSM Applications
Cost effective solution for enhancing indoor coverage for 900 MHz GSM applications
The MR918 has an optional remote monitor function that provides equipment alarming via a GSM-SMS. Alarm SMSs (including heart beat) can be sent to the common Andrew OMC or to any stanThe MR918 is easy to install. Also a web-based LMT simplifies to commission dard SMS receiver (even a mobile and configure the equipment. The RF link phone). Moreover the MR918 can be connected to LAN. (donor) towards the base station is typically fed from an outdoor antenna while the coverage area is fed by an indoor Easy to install due to light weight, small dimensions and auto-setup antenna. The design of the amplifier maintains the CEPT limit of -36 dBm. The functionality Easy commissioning via web-based opportunity to adjust the passband of LMT repeater helps to cover any specific segment of GSM900 frequency band. Automatic level control (ALC) and power alarm Due to modular design the single varia Variable bandwidth version MR918 can be extended to a Delivered with a complete installation triple varia segment or a dual band package (power supply, antennas, varia version in one cabinet. and cable) Auto-setup functionality enables automat Meeting GSM 05.05 and 3GPP ic gain adjustment in order to maximize the performance, however gain may be Optional remote alarm monitoring set manually if desired. An alarm inter Connection to LAN face with LEDs indicates the status of the Multi-functional miniRepeater Family equipment locally. Modularity By boosting the signal level the MR918 increases indoor coverage and allows high data rate connectivity.

Andrew MR918 gives designers a

simple tool to solve their small area 900 MHz GSM coverage and performance issues. The MR918 is a bi-directional amplifier used to enhance signals between a mobile and a base station in a 900 MHz GSM network. It has been designed to increase signal strength in small and medium sized areas such as offices, shops, and basements.
