The WRE5500 M2M Cellular Amplifier is a high performance, microprocessor controlled, bidirectional RF
amplifier. The amplifier boosts signal in 5 Bands; 700Mhz, 850Mhz, 1900Mhz and 1700/2100Mhz which
covers all North American Carrier frequency bands. The
control system that will automatically adjust the gain and the output power if a signal anomaly occurs.
This amplifier is designed to operate as a direct connect unit within an M2M cellular system, for
m performance in weak signal coverage areas. The input power requirements for the amplifier
are positive 9.5 to 32.0 volts DC (negative ground).

Passive Bypass Technology
amplifier is equipped with ClearRF’s Passive Bypass technology. This feature allows the
amplifier to passively bypass itself and become merely a pass through cable when amplification is not
necessary, during loss of power or when a fault is det
Passive Bypass technology is useful in applications where the amplifier is mobile, moving in and out of
poor signal areas. The amplifier will bypass itself when close to cell towers, completely eliminating any
potential for network disrupting noise
technology is also extremely useful in fire and security system installations where a connection with the
antenna must always be maintained, even with loss of power.
