User's Manual

Decide on your configuration and where QUATRA components will go, including NU to CU interconnect cables to

make sure their lengths do not exceed 100 meters per CU (200m with QRE — QUATRA Range Extender).

Use the table below to determine the recommended donor input configuration for your installation site. Off-Air

donor refers to the use of antennas to receive and redistribute the outdoor macro network service where you need

it indoors. Small Cell donor refers to the use of a dedicated small cell device (usually available through your opera-

tor) as the network signal source.

When amplifying the existing outdoor network, service is being shared with other users on the macro network

(your outside cellular experience should become your inside cellular experience). When using a dedicated small

cell input, capacity is being added to the operator’s network at your install site which also helps resolve capacity or

interference problems.
