Allen Telecom's MIKOM Division Introduces New High Power, Frequency Translating, Channel Selective Repeaters
The MIKOM EAC2100 repeater uses DSP technology coupled with a high speed Power PC processor to decode the TIA/EIA-136 message stream. This allows the EAC2100 repeater to fully support the TIA/EIA-136 Standard and its unique set of both voice and data features.
The high power and gain of the EAC2100 is achieved based on its intelligent F1 to F2 architecture, which allows the repeater to provide the type of extended coverage normally available only from a macro-cell. The repeaters' regenerative process removes the delay limitations normally placed on high power repeaters. The EAC2100's architecture is frequency selective on both the donor and coverage channels while being entirely frequency agile and remote controlled for network retunes. Antenna isolation requirements are removed due to the translating nature of the repeater.
The EAC2100 is software configurable and remotely manageable via a modem dial up link. This FCC (Federal Communications Commission) approved repeater boosts up to four IS-136 carriers with channel selective RF (Radio Frequency) cards and is designed for outdoor use and easy installation and maintenance.
"We are very excited about the potential of the EAC2100 repeater to improve network coverage for our wireless customers," stated Hannu Kellomaki, Director of Sales, MIKOM US. This repeater's ability to improve signal quality, two to four channel capacity and high forward output power make it ideal for areas that are difficult to cover with a standard base station."
