Cel-Fi QUATRA Enterprise Coverage Solution

Cel-Fi QUATRA In-Building Enterprise Cellular Coverage Solution

In-building enterprise cellular system. A hybrid active DAS that solves coverage issues for 3G/4G/LTE.

  • Scalable All-Digital PoE Cat5e Active DAS Hybrid for Middleprise
  • Up to 100 dB (1000x Stronger Signal)
  • Single or Multi-Carrier Solution
  • 3G / 4G / LTE for Voice and Data
  • Carrier-Approved and Unconditionally Network Safe
  • Setup, Maintenance, Remote Monitoring and Management via WAVE Platform

Working Solutions Modes

Cel-Fi QUATRA is a scalable solution that utilizes one or multiple Network Units, depending on the environment and size of the space, with up to four distributed Coverage Units connected to each Network Unit.
Cel-Fi QUATRA can be installed off-air, using either a MIMO panel or omni donor antenna to provide high-quality in‑building wireless connectivity. Cel-Fi QUATRA can be deployed by installers or IT personnel with Cat5e skills (no RF engineering skills needed).
A Supercell is comprised of a Cel-Fi QUATRA system connected to a small cell. Multiple Cel‑Fi QUATRA systems can be connected to a single small cell, or multiple small cells, to form a coordinated Supercell. A Supercell with Cel-Fi QUATRA is more efficient than multiple small cells, and the CUs of a Cel-Fi QUATRA system connected to a Supercell do not interfere with one another.

System Configurations

Cel-Fi QUATRA is available in two versions, with coordinating components. Multiple configurations are available by region and band specification.
Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000
Single Carrier MIMO Active DAS Hybrid that can be configured in Off-Air (with MIMO Panel Antenna) or Supercell modes. Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000 solutions are scalable and can be deployed alongside one another to deliver Dual Carrier coverage.
Cel-Fi QUATRA 2000
Dual Carrier Active DAS Hybrid that can be configured for an Off-Air donor antenna. Cel-Fi QUATRA 2000 solutions are scalable and can be deployed alongside one another to deliver Multi Carrier coverage.

Cel-Fi QUATRA Elements

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 square feet (5,000 square meters) of coverage.

  • Provides donor signal to the Cel-Fi QUATRA system
  • Provides power to Coverage Units (up to four)
  • Connects to the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform for remote monitoring and management
  • QUATRA 1000 version designed for Single Carrier MIMO
  • QUATRA 2000 version designed for Dual Carrier
  • Multiple QUATRA 1000 and 2000 units can be deployed for Single, Dual, and Multi-Carrier Solutions.

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 CU compatible with QUATRA 1000 NU
  • QUATRA 2000 CU compatible with QUATRA 2000 NU
  • Multiple QUATRA 1000 and 2000 units can be deployed for Single, Dual, and Multi-Carrier Solutions.

Cel-Fi WAVE Portal

The Cel-Fi WAVE Platform enables device management and maintenance of Cel-Fi QUATRA systems. The Cel-Fi WAVE Platform mobile app facilitates ease of use on site. Alerts and alarms can be used as configured out of the box or they can be customized however the owner or admin chooses.

The Cel-Fi WAVE Platform is a cloud-based remote management platform that allows users/operators to manage multiple Cel-Fi QUATRA systems. Features of the platform include:

  • Cel-Fi device and asset management
  • Data modeling and reporting
  • Mobile and computer applications
  • Globally trusted carrier-grade security
  • Users can access the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform portal through the dashboard interface, or integrate it via APIs.

Cel-Fi Antennas & Mounts

Cel-Fi MIMO Panel Antenna

Cel-Fi AntennaBoost integrates the Cel-Fi MIMO Panel Antenna with the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform to provide the best donor signal in the industry. The antenna connects to any MIMO-enabled NU or CU with QMA (quick connect) cables.

Cel-Fi Omni Donor Antenna

The Cel-Fi Omni Donor Antenna is the ideal donor signal source for the QUATRA 2000. It has N-type Female connectors. The Cel-Fi Omni Donor Antenna is the only authorized indoor/outdoor antenna for Cel-Fi QUATRA 2000 Off-Air solutions only.

Cel-Fi LPDA Antenna

The Cel-Fi LPDA Antenna offers a powerful 12 or 14dBi gain (depending on carrier frequency) over 698-2700 MHz and is designed to reduce out of band noise, to improve SiNR and overall signal quality. Mounting is made simple with a mast down-tilt bracket and U-Bolts.

Cel-Fi Antenna Mount

The Cel-Fi Mount is an indoor/outdoor mount designed to secure a donor signal and work with the Cel-Fi WAVE Antenna Positioning feature. Cel-Fi’s proprietary 8-position dial base enables the antenna to be rotated in 45-degree increments, with real time performance data.
