Overview
Powerwave Nexus FT SM repeaters work as bi-directional on-frequency amplifiers used to extend coverage
into uncovered areas in wireless mobile systems such as base station fringe areas, tunnels, convention
centers, airports and buildings. It receives, amplifies, and transmits signals to/from a Base Transceiver Station
(BTS) to/from Mobile Stations (MS) with both directions being served simultaneously. Connections to the
Nexus FT SM are made with N-type or 7/16" male connectors.
Nexus FT SMs are microprocessor controlled. Operational parameters, such as gain and power levels are set
using a PC running Powerwave OM-Online software which communicates with the Nexus FT SMs either locally
or remotely via modem. Remote operation can be performed via PSTN or a GSM net. The Operation and
Maintenance System (OMS) provides for Network Operations Center (NOC) configuration and alarm
monitoring.
Nexus FT SMs can be configured in many combinations depending on the wireless system, single or double
system operation, and output power.
