Using Repeaters
In areas where the radio signal propagation is poor repeaters can be used
to fill out those areas which are not covered by the base station.
The following scenarios are examples on this:
– Sports arenas
– Fair halls
– Large shopping centres
– Road and railway tunnels
– Indoors in buildings with metal or concrete walls
Other examples where repeaters can be used to increase the coverage are:
– Shaded areas
– Fringe coverage areas
In areas where the traffic intensity is low, it is not cost efficient to install
a base station. An Allgon repeater, which can be installed with a
minimum of investments, is a much better solution. You save installation
costs as well as operational costs.
Examples of using repeaters
Two examples are described in the following sections. An outdoor
example in a shaded valley and an indoor example in a sports arena.
