Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000
3G/4G/LTE
In-Building Cellular Solution
Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000 is a scalable in-building cellular solution that is both cost-efficient and easy-to-deploy, delivering high-quality signal in venues up to 500,000 square feet (50,000 square meters). It is a hybrid solution that combines the power of active DAS and Smart Booster technologies. It operates in off-air mode or can be integrated with the carrier’s small cell equipment and operated as a distributed small cell, creating a Supercell.
