MRx18

miniRepeater

Simple, affordable, compact, and extremely easy to setup,

the MRx18 miniRepeater is the ideal solution for extending

coverage in small venues ranging from 2,300 square meters

(25,000 square feet) and smaller. Two band segments are pro-

vided by the MRx18, particularly to cover Band A and AE or

Band B and BE. The positioning of the filters can be determined

by entering the start frequency via web based GUI.

Eliminating the need for bulky and expensive test equipment

like spectrum analyzers, everything you need to determine

proper signal levels can be viewed on the LCD display. No

special software or hardware is required to set up the MRx18

miniRepeater. Autogain functionality enables automatic gain

adjustment in order to maximize the unit’s performance, while

still allowing gain to be set manually if desired. The Ethernet

port on the unit allows for easy connectivity and commissioning through a web-based browser.

The MRx18 allows remote monitoring—alarms are forwarded via SNMP V1 traps.

Key Features

• Multi-functional capabilities and modular design

• Continuously monitors and adapts to the RF environment via Autogain feature

• Lightweight and compact footprint for easy installation

• Easy commissioning and setup via web-based browser

• Fixed bandwidth to be matched to Band A and AE or Band B and BE
