Frequently Asked
Questions

Now we're ready to discuss the two most important factors in selecting the right repeater system for your situation. Please remember, we are here to discuss any requirements you may have for reception improvement for your application. Please feel free to call or email us. 1(800) 238-2811

Frequency Handling Capabilities

The most important consideration for a repeater system is the frequencies that it handles and the carrier(s) you are trying to bring into your building.Choosing the wrong frequency for the system will have no affect on increasing the signal inside your building.

DA Series

The DA series repeater system handles all of the frequencies for Cellular 800 MHZ and PCS/GSM 1900MHz (Not Nextel) However, these systems do not have a very large coverage area. (see below)

The CM and C6 Series

We carry single and dual band systems for the carriers listed below. If your carrier is not listed please call us. For most of the US these are the frequencies for each carrier. There are however some areas that will be different. Please call us if you are unsure. It can be assumed that a dual band system will cover all carriers (except Nextel).

AT&T and Verizon Wireless (typically dual band 800/850/1900MHz)

Sprint, T-Mobile, MetroPCS (1900MHz in most areas)

Nextel iDen SMR 800MHz

Frequencies for Cellular, PCS, GSM and Nextel

Area sizes to cover

The second most important aspect of selecting a repeater system is the size and configuration of your building and the makeup of the spaces inside. All of our systems are rated to cover a maximum area based on full donor signal strength. Choose a system that can cover the area that you need. You can see all of our systems here.
