About This Guide

There are a variety of Cel-Fi QUATRA product variants available, supporting a variety of band configurations, for

multiple regions. This manual is applicable to the Cel-Fi QUATRA 4000 ONLY, and does not apply to any other

QUATRA variants.

Safety Precautions

Use Cel-Fi QUATRA 4000 indoors. It should not be used outdoors.

These products are designed to be used with the power supply unit that shipped with the Network Unit.

When installing the equipment, all the requirements of the manufacturer and the referenced standards must

be met.

There are no user serviceable parts inside.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Nextivity may void your right

to operate the equipment.

Introduction to QUATRA 4000

Understanding Cellular Coverage

Spotty cellular coverage, poor voice quality, dropped calls, and dead zones continue to plague occupants in

buildings of all shapes and sizes. Cel-Fi QUATRA solves that problem. It is an affordable, all-digital solution,

providing uniform, high quality cellular signal throughout a building. Cel-Fi QUATRA is scalable to fit buildings of

all sizes, and is carrier approved and guaranteed network safe.

Unlike traditional analog boosters and passive DAS technology, Cel-Fi QUATRA delivers a cellular signal that is up

to 1000x stronger, utilizing CAT 5e (or better) cabling for the connection between the head end and each remote.

The remotes are powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE), delivering an un-attenuated signal throughout the building.

Cel-Fi QUATRA can be installed in just days (compared to months typical of other solutions), and at a price point

that meets the middleprise budget.

The Cel-Fi QUATRA Solution

While cellular networks are outside, the majority of calls take place inside. A recent study showed 80% of business

users inside complain of poor coverage or dropped calls. Modern building materials, while improving energy

efficiency, will block or inhibit cellular service from the outside network. To exacerbate the issue, cellular coverage

is increasingly critical. In fact, cellular coverage can be considered a safety or even regulatory requirement,

depending on the region. Building owners need a flexible, high-quality solution. Installers and Value-Added

Resellers need a product that can serve the majority of building types and not take months to deploy.

Cel-Fi created a new solution category that combines its core technology with the architecture of an Active

DAS –to deliver an Active DAS Hybrid –carrier-grade but built for Installers.

12/6/2019

Integrators and Carriers have partnered with Cel-Fi to deliver a smart solution designed for middleprise

buildings –Cel-Fi QUATRA solutions.

Cel-Fi provides the QUATRA BOM Estimator to help installers select the appropriate equipment in the

right quantity, to eliminate the heavy cost / time of the (pre) planning effort.

Cel-Fi’s all-digital, scalable, PoE Category cable-based solution makes it ideal for Single or Multi-Carrier

environments.

Speed of Installation, higher quality in-building cellular solutions, and cost savings –are some of the reasons

building owners, facility managers, and IT professionals are making the smart investment in Cel-Fi QUATRA

solutions.

A Solution Anyone Can Confidently Deploy

Cel-Fi QUATRA is designed to improve indoor signal coverage without any risk of interference on the mobile

network. Cel-Fi QUATRA provides a sophisticated network-safe solution that has been rigorously tested globally,

through multiple generations, engineered to deliver multiple levels of network protection:

Uplink power control to prevent desensitizing the network

Echo-cancellation and feedback control

Uplink muting, when handsets (UE) are not detected

Signal qualification (channels are individually qualified, so noise or very poor signals won’t be amplified

and degrade the network)

The Cel-Fi WAVE Platform cloud-based portal enables an operator to monitor equipment and network

KPI’s, such as channel configurations, RSRP, RSCP, SINR, and system gains, providing control and

optimization insight.

System Overview

How Does It Work?

Cel-Fi QUATRA 4000 is a powerful cellular signal distribution solution. Cel-Fi QUATRA 4000 is fundamentally

comprised of a Network Unit (NU) and up to six (6) Coverage Units (per NU). The Network Unit takes the donor

input from up to four (4) carrier signal sources. The signal source can be off-air (over-the-air (OTA)) from the

macro network, or delivered via a small cell.

The NU receives and individually processes channels from each carrier, allowing higher gain for weaker channels

(up to 100 dB). The channels are digitized and sent over a pair of Ethernet cables to each CU for retransmission

through one or more service antennas.

20-22dBm uplink power per operator per band

13-16dBm downlink power per operator per band

Hardware Components

Cel-Fi QUATRA 4000 is a modular solution with two (2) foundational components: the Network Unit (NU) and the

Coverage Unit (CU). In traditional DAS terminology these could be known as the Head End (NU) and the Remote

Unit (CU).

Power is provided to the entire system through AC power at the NU. The CUs are powered via Power over Ethernet

(PoE), and therefore do not require a separate power source at their location.

Signal source is brought into the system at the NU, via a wired connection, like a small cell, or through a donor

antenna and an RF connection.

12/6/2019

Network Unit (NU)

The Network Unit, referred to as the NU, is the head end for the QUATRA 4000 system. The signal sources (one for

each port/carrier) are connected to the NU. Then they are digitized and purified, and distributed over dual Category

cables to the Coverage Units (CU).

Note: Only cellular signals may be connected to the donor ports. Other types of radio signals will not work, and may

damage the system.

The NU has four (4) N-type RF ports on the top. Each RF port is assigned, and marked, to a specific carrier.

There are two (2) SMA-female ports on the top of the NU. One functions as the external antenna connection for the

unit’s internal cellular modem, and the other is for GPS. (The GPS port is for future functionality)
