CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCING QUATRA
Cel-Fi QUATRA™
In-Building Enterprise Cellular System
Cel-Fi QUATRA is an active DAS hybrid solution for delivering high quality in-building cellar coverage. Through
the combination of the best of active DAS and Cel-Fi technology that has been widely adopted by carriers
around the world, Cel-Fi QUATRA is a scalable solution that provides configurations for single or multi-carrier
environments. Options are available for off-air mode or via integration with carrier small cell equipment and
operated in distributed small cell mode, creating a Supercell.
Cel-Fi QUATRA is self-configuring and self-optimizing, distributes RF over Ethernet (RFoE), and leverages
Power over Ethernet (PoE) for ease and accuracy of installation by Cel-Fi Certified professionals. The system
can be monitored and managed using the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform.
Features and Benefits
 Improves cellular reception for venues from
15,000 to 50,000 sq. ft. per system
 Built for streamlined installation and
maintenance by Cel-Fi Certified professional
 Carrier approved and unconditionally network
safe for voice and data
 Intelligently self-configures and continually
self-optimizes to adapt to environmental
changes
 AntennaBoost intelligent antenna aiming
optimizes signal quality (QUATRA 1000)
 Remote monitoring and management using
the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform
 Off air donor signal
 Small cell donor (QUATRA 1000 only)
 Best quality signal at 100 dB max gain in off-
air mode
 Nextivity’s IntelliBoost™ Six-Core Processor
supports 3G/4G speeds with low power
consumption
 Advanced proprietary digital echo-
cancellation and channel select filtering
algorithms
 Automatic Gain Control (AGC) continually and
dynamically maximizes system power
 Adaptive signal equalization
 Seamless integration with the macro network;
improves network efficiency without causing
interference
 Only one power outlet needed per system
(at the NU)
 Supporting peripherals available
(antennas, mounts, range extenders, etc.)
Unconditionally Network Safe
Cel-Fi QUATRA provides a sophisticated network-safe design that has been engineered to deliver
multiple levels of carrier-grade network protection:
 Uplink power control to prevent desensitizing the network
 Echo-cancellation and feedback control
 Uplink gating
 Signal qualification (channels are individually qualified, so noise or very poor signals won’t be
amplified and degrade the network)
