User's Manual

Cel-Fi QUATRA is a simple to install 3G/4G/LTE enterprise class Networked Smart Booster™. A single system is
comprised of one Network Unit (NU) and up to four Coverage Units (CU). The NU accepts Donor signals from
either the outside cellular network or a locally installed Small Cell, and passes that service over Cat 5e (or better)
cabling to CUs mounted where cellular service is needed.
The CUs contain their own transmit amplifiers and are powered from the NU through Power over Ethernet (PoE).
This allows for flexible placement of the CU’s since AC power at the site of each CU is not required.
With four (4) Coverage Units, a combined in-building coverage range of up to 50,000 ft
2
per system can be
achieved. For larger coverage area, multiple QUATRA systems may be used.
Cel-Fi QUATRA systems are self-configuring and can be fully managed from Nextivity's WAVE Portal. Status
notifications and alarms are fully customizable.

INTRODUCTION: Cel-Fi Quatra
CONFIGURATIONS (MODE): Cel-Fi QUATRA System
BEST FOR: Basic install if an excellent
donor signal exists somewhere inside the
building, and coverage in a remote area is
the main problem.
Off-Air Donor
using Internal
Antennas
BEST FOR: Most off-air installations. This is
the recommended use case of an off-air
QUATRA system.
Off-Air Donor
using External
Antennas
BEST FOR: Large scale deployments to add
dedicated local capacity or to resolve interfer-
ence issues. Use this configuration when
connecting a small cell to one or more
QUATRA systems.
