1 Introduction
The Axell BSR 3308 is a band-selective mini-repeater that supports the 800MHz band for
public safety and commercial cellular 800 MHz band applications.
The repeater is specifically designed for the operation of ESMR 800 MHz and is band
selectable in the 800 MHz range [3 MHz, 10 MHz or 18 MHz bandwidth]. This allows
setting the optimum pass-band for each of the rebanding phases without the need to
change any hardware. The standard configurations accommodate most of the pass band
requirements for public safety, ESMR and SMR networks including the Southeast region.
BSR 3308 has switchable and tunable IF-SAW. These enable highly accurate out-of-
band-rejection and provide simple, fast procedures for adjusting the pass band
according to customer requirements.
BSR 3308 PS NFPA includes Axell Wireless’ proprietary Smart Automatic Level Control
(SmartALC). This algorithm allows the installer to quickly set up the unit by
automatically optimizing site coverage according to user set power and gain limits as
designated by the system engineers. The SmartALC power control algorithm
automatically optimizes the gain setting by learning the actual range of RSSI levels over
a user-specified period of time.
The efficient thermal characteristics of the BSR 3308 PS NFPA careful component
selection and robust design result in high system reliability.
This Axell product meets the rigid requirements as defined by the NFPA and
International Fire Code developmental organizations. The amplifier is painted a Fire Life
Safety Red, meets NEMA4 compliance for hose down, and provides all Alarming outputs
as defined by NFPA 2010, Chapter 24, including antenna system failure (up or down
link) and 70 percent low battery.
Setup and monitoring is performed via Ethernet connection and intuitive web GUI.
