Thuraya / GPS Active Repeater System
SATTRANS RT-2 Thuraya active indoor repeater (bi-directional amplifier) allows Thuraya subscribers to use their satellite phones and service in dead spots such as buildings, underground parking lots, shopping malls, tunnels, outdoor shadow zones, hotel rooms, where no satellite signal is available and use of docking stations is not possible or practical.
This product has been discontinued and is no longer available.
Applications:
- Large industrial buildings, warehouses, hangars, etc.
- Business and shopping centers, hotels, private houses
- Use of Thuraya for demonstration purposes (exhibitions, service centers, shops)
- Provision of satellite service in unusual places, such as subway stations and tunnels, cruise ships, aircraft, trains, etc.
- Coverage in natural "radio shadow" places, such as behind hills, mountains, in the woods.
Features
- Unlimited number of channels. SATTRANS RT-2 repeater does not limit the number of simultaneous calls possible in its service area, so the maximum capacity is on a par with the Thuraya beam capacity (64 channels).
- Automatic Gain Control. The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) feature allows operation of the repeater at different gain levels. AGC is critical for effectively serving Thuraya users located in various spots of the repeater coverage and at different distances from service antennas.
- Low power consumption. Low power consumption makes it possible to operate the repeater system continuously by using a solar panel of small dimensions.
- Compact design. The RT-2 repeater combines the light-weight and compact design with robust performance. The small dimensions of the product result in easy and quick installation and low (if any) site rental costs.
