CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW

1.1 Product Overview

GuardianB 1/2W is a Class B, 1/2‐watt, bi‐directional amplifier with a maximum gain of 80 dB supporting both the 700 and 800 MHz Public

Safety frequency bands.

In the majority of cases, newly constructed buildings with considerable size, or existing buildings that increase capacity by expanding

the building footprint are required to have signal strength of ‐95 dBm or better in designated critical areas – Emergency Command

Centers, Fire Pump Rooms, stairwells, standpipe, cabinets, etc. – in order to receive a certificate of occupancy. GuardianB meets the

code for NFPA 72/1221 and IFC 510 and features a Type 4 rated amplifier housing.

Additionally, the GuardianB comes equipped with integrated alarming compatibility, UPS and Ethernet enabled remote monitoring.
