ANDREW NODE FAMILY OF RF ENHANCERS FOR NEXT GENERATION NETWORKS

The Andrew family of Nodes includes RF enhancers for large area coverage, urban and suburban hole filling, and road and rail coverage. These primary network elements are ideal for the first phase of the network rollout and for any subsequent phase where cost, coverage and quality need to be optimized.

These products not only increase signal strength between a mobile and a base station in areas where high-quality voice or high-speed data service is not available, they also enhance air-interface capacity and increase the network data rate.

INDOOR AND OUTDOOR REPEATERS

Andrew's full line of repeaters for indoor and outdoor applications allows wireless RF system engineers to address network coverage problems quickly and cost effectively.

Our repeaters are highly suitable for deployment in dense urban environments, tunnels, or other areas where physical structures or distances interfere with base station coverage or cause low field strengths. They can also be used as an efficient and low-cost alternative to base stations in areas where coverage is more critical than additional capacity.

Features and functions may be locally or remotely monitored. In addition, the Andrew Integrated Operations and Maintenance System (AIMOS) configures, monitors, alarms, and manages all network components. The intuitive organization permits easy drag and drop changes, alarm visibility, and control of individual units.

DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEM

Andrew's world-leading Radio over Fiber (RoF) technology is ideal for bringing effective solutions into complex, highly demanding outdoor or indoor wireless networks with MMR and Britecell® Plus product families.

Andrew optical products are multi-band, multi-operator and multi-technology capable. All transport signals from 400MHz to 2.5GHz cover all licensed and unlicensed wireless bands.

These products offer the flexibility of power choices to fit the coverage and capacity requirements of any venue. The open infrastructure and modular configuration meet a network's initial as well as future capacity needs without costly site visits.

Andrew has unique technical skills and marketing strengths in developing products for RF systems. The company's products are used in infrastructure for traditional wireless networks, third generation (3G) technologies, voice, data, video and internet services as well as microwave, satellite and other specialized applications.

Andrew serves global OEMs and regional operators with worldwide resources in 36 countries. Andrew Corporation's global presence extends across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.
