2 CCU 100 and Repeater 100 Installation Guide
Proprietary and Confidential
CCU/Repeater Components
The CCU 100 and Repeater 100 come in two basic configurations; they may have either
internal GPS/WAN antennas or external GPS/WAN antennas. The external
CCU/Repeater configuration replaces the internal GPS/WAN antennas with external
antenna connectors that allow both GPS and WAN antennas to be mounted externally. In
the case of the Repeater 100, only an external GPS connection is provided; a WAN
modem is not present in a repeater. Both internal antenna and external antenna
configurations allow for remotely mounting the 900 MHz antenna by removing the
antenna from the unit and attaching it to a remote antenna mounting plate.
Since the CCU/Repeater may be installed in an outdoor environment, each component of
the CCU/Repeater is weather-tight and can withstand wind requirements in excess of 100
MPH.
Note When determining the configuration of the CCU/Repeater, be sure to review
the Fixed Network 100 Ordering Guide for specific part numbers, cable lengths, and
various options for the components.
CCU/Repeater Module
The CCU/Repeater case houses the backup battery, GPS receiver, optional WAN radio,
processing board and 900 MHz radio. The antennas for the radios can be either internally
or externally connected, depending on the CCU/Repeater configuration.
