1.3 INTRODUCTION
The TELCOSAT RPT700 is a bidirectional system comprising UPLINK and DOWNLINK
modules. It is used in locations that require cell phone signal coverage, and where conventional
communication systems cannot reach. Typically such locations include buildings, parking
structures, tunnels and remote areas.
The TELCOSAT RPT700 has been designed using highly reliable high quality components.
Adjustable RF Gain is provided in each direction of communication (donor to cell phone and cell
phone to donor) to compensate for losses through over-the-air links.
The RPT 700 has Digital control to prevent the repeater exceeding the certified Maximum RF
transmit power.
