I. GIR-2005 Overview

Globalstar using the LEO-satellites provides high quality communication services. But,

the services are not available in the NLOS (Non Line-Of-Sight) environments such as indoors,

tunnel and etc. GIR-2005 (Globalstar Indoor Repeater) can assist to provide the seamless

Globalstar Services in the NLOS environments.

1. GIR-2005 Service Network

At the indoor environment where the LOS environment is not constructed between the

satellite and the terminal, we can provide the Globalstar Service to the terminal that is located

on the indoor by connecting the outdoor unit and external antenna for the link with the

satellite, indoor unit and indoor Tx/Rx patch antennas for the link with the terminal.

2. GIR-2005 Overview

Place the GIR-2005 ODU (Outdoor Unit) and the external antenna on the building roof,

and put IDU (Indoor Unit) and its patch antennas inside the building. These two units receive,

amplify, and retransmit each downlink signal of the satellite and uplink signal of the terminal

to expanded signal arrival area. Thus the service is possible in the interior.

Unlike a general ground mobile communication repeater, signal level of GIR-2005

received from the satellite is feeble differently and the fluctuation over time varies hourly.

Therefore a high gain amplifier is necessary, but the possibility of oscillation may increase

due to the high gain amplifier. To prevent the oscillation, the isolation between ODU and IDU

antenna must be over 80dB.

3. GIR-2005 Configuration

GIR-2005 Repeater is composed with one Indoor Unit, one Outdoor Unit and Indoor

Antenna Set(Tx/Rx Patch antennas).

※ External antenna do not comes with the package. Should purchase separately.

II. Preparation to install the GIR-2005

1. Safety

1. 1. Before you begin, refer to the local Safety standard for the power source,

grounding, and other safety information.

GIR-2005 User Manual

2. Environment

2. 1. Verify if you have a correct operating environment.

2. 2. The instrument operates properly in ambient temperatures from -20℃ to +50℃

and relative humidity from 5% to 95%.

III. GIR-2005 Installation

First turn off the power, and install IDU inside of building, and ODU outside of building

where has clear visibility with no obstacle facing. “On top of the roof” is recommended place

to put. After installing IDU and ODU, connect IDU and ODU with appropriate cable. Then

turn on the power. Using control panel of IDU, set up the parameters of IDU & ODU to work

properly. While doing this procedure, must take a note below for considerations of installation.

 To avoid oscillation, the indoor and outdoor antenna must be get 80dB of

minimum Isolation.

 For the installation place of the repeater in indoors, secure the visibility range

as possible, and separate from the outdoor antenna as far as possible.

Follow the instruction below to install IDU & ODU to the appropriate place.

1. IDU (Indoor Unit) Installation

IDU can be placed on the supporting structure like a desk or installed on the interior

wall. If choose to install on the wall, fallow instruction below. Then connect cables

from each of TX, RX patch antennas to IDU as described in this manual. Please note

that all the procedure must take while power is off.

1.1 Fixing

At first, using the M12 Anchor bolts, install GIR-2005 Chassis bracket into the wall

Bracket that is fixed to the wall in Figure 3-1. And then, using M4 bolt, assemble GIR-

2005 with Chassis bracket and wall-bracket.

1.2 Grounding

After GIR-2005 Indoor Unit is fixed to the wall, using 14 Square Cable put the ground

post of GIR-2005 chassis to the earth where has good conductivity. Refer to the figure

below.
