Signal Booster II
700, 800, 900 MHz Series
Mission Critical Reliability for In-building Coverage . . .
The Bird® Signal Booster II provides Public Safety grade reliability and coverage in disadvantaged RF locations for First Responders,
Public Safety/Governmental agencies and Private System Users. Reliable RF coverage is gained in basements, parking garages,
correctional facilities, courthouses, hospitals, malls and schools. Other challenging environments covered by the Signal
Booster II product include subways and rapid transit systems, airports, stadiums/arenas, high-rise buildings and large private
enterprise facilities and campuses.
Whether you are on the front line and depend on a reliable communication system or you are the systems integrator responsible
for implementing a dependable system, this new compact design facilitates installation and system optimization for rock
solid operation via a simple man-machine interface. Imbedded features for ease of initial setup include decoupled test
points for signal level detection, menu driven gain setting, front panel LED monitors for amplifier and power status, and an
at-a-glance LED bar graph to indicate relative level of Output Level Control (OLC). Additionally, this product offers a unique
on-board OLC DataLog feature that archives a User Signal Prole to facilitate optimum system conguration and performance.
