INTRODUCTION

Cel-Fi QUATRA™

In-Building Enterprise Cellular System

Cel-Fi QUATRA is an active DAS hybrid solution for delivering high quality in-building cellar coverage in venues

up to 200,000 sq. ft. As it combines the best of active DAS and Cel-Fi technology that has been widely adopted

by carriers around the world, Cel-Fi QUATRA is a scalable solution that provides configurations for single or

multi-carrier environments. Options are available for off-air mode or via integration with carrier small cell

equipment and operated in distributed small cell mode, creating a Supercell.

Cel-Fi QUATRA is self-configuring and self-optimizing, distributes RF over Ethernet (RFoE), and leverages Power

over Ethernet (PoE) for ease and accuracy of installation by Cel-Fi Certified professionals. The system is

monitored and managed using the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform.

(Optional)

Unconditionally Network Safe

Cel-Fi QUATRA provides a sophisticated network-safe design that has been engineered to deliver

multiple levels of network protection:

•Uplink power control to prevent desensitizing the network

•Echo cancellation and feedback control

•Uplink gating

•Signal qualification (channels are individually qualified, so noise or very poor signals won’t be

amplified and degrade the network)

The Cel-Fi WAVE Platform

The Cel-Fi WAVE Platform enables device management and maintenance of Cel-Fi QUATRA systems.

Alerts and alarms can be used as configured out of the box or they can be customized however the

owner or admin chooses.

SYSTEM ELEMENTS

Hardware Components

Cel-Fi QUATRA Network Unit (NU)

Cel-Fi QUATRA Network Unit (NU) is the hub of the system. The scalable design

works with one to four Coverage Units to provide up to 50,000 sq. ft. of coverage.

•Provides donor signal to the Cel-Fi QUATRA system

•Provides power to Coverage Units and QREs

•Connects to the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform for remote monitoring and management

•QUATRA 1000 and QUATRA 2000 variants available

Cel-Fi QUATRA Coverage Unit (CU)

Cel-Fi QUATRA Coverage Unit (CU) is the remote unit of the system that rebroadcasts

the donor signal. The cost efficient and easy-to-deploy system leverages Power over

Ethernet (PoE) for up to four CUs.

•Provides coverage in the Cel-Fi QUATRA system (up to four per Network Unit)

•Power delivered by Power-Over-Ethernet from the Network Unit

•Self-configuring and self-optimizing

•QUATRA 1000 and QUATRA 2000 variants available

Software Components

QUATRA Planner Tool

This simple on-line tool estimates hardware needs based upon building size, floor

plan utilization, and donor mode.
