GSM850M Band Selective Tower Mounted Booster

TB-8100
Features
High downlink power of 46dBm to extend cell coverage. MCPA with 20MHz Instantaneous Bandwidth can support multiple continuous GSM Downlink carriers. Supports EDGE. Low noise amplifier reduces uplink system noise figure and helps to reduce call drop and improve voice quality. Reduces handset output power and improved BTS uplink receiver sensitivity. Permits local or remote monitoring via PC or wireless modem. Alarms can be transmitted to OMC via data link or SMS. External alarm to BTS by voltage-free relay contacts. Automatic RF by-pass feature permits BTS operation when equipment or power supply fails. Internal Li-ion backup battery ensures alarm messages are transmitted when equipment or power supply fails. Designed for all outdoor application waterproof, damp-proof and omni-sealed (IP65).

Product Description
The TB-8100 GSM850M band-selective tower mounted booster provides both uplink and downlink amplification. The unit is installed near the antenna at the tower top to boost the transmitted power to extend cell coverage. The uplink low-noise amplifier (LNA) serves to improve the receiver sensitivity of the BTS to cope with the extended cell coverage in the downlink. The unit is powered by various power supply options, including 220VAC, -48VDC, +24VDC. It consists of duplexers (DPX), uplink LNA, downlink MCPA, RF by-pass switch, main Control Unit (MCU), distribution board, power supply unit (PSU), surge protector, wireless modem and Li-ion backup battery. Parameter settings can be done locally via a PC with installed OMT software, or remotely via wireless modem using OMT or OMC software. Alarms are displayed on the OMT screen and can be detected by BTS as external alarm. Through the wireless modem, the alarm data can be transmitted to the OMC automatically, or be sent as SMS to a predefined cellular device.

Operation and Maintenance
Using a direct serial connection to a PC, installation and commissioning of the TB-8100 is accomplished by the OMT. Using the integrated wireless modem (data or SMS mode), equipment parameters can be monitored and controlled remotely. Controlled equipment parameters include: ATT, Soft ON/OFF, Over-Temp Threshold, DL Output Power Threshold, DL Input Power Threshold and Alarm Report Enable. Monitored equipment alarms and parameters include: Alarms (LNA, DL PA, Power Down, PSU Fault, Door Open, DL Input Power Low, DL Output Power Low, Over Temp, Input VSWR), UL/DL Gain and DL Input /Output Power. The TB-8100 has been developed to take advantage of advanced network operation, where the OMC (optional) provides effective solution for central monitoring of a group of Comba products.
