NETWORKED SMART BOOSTER 1

INTRODUCTION: Cel-Fi Quatra

Cel-Fi QUATRA is a simple to install 3G/4G/LTE enterprise class Networked Smart Booster™. A single system is
comprised of one Network Unit (NU) and up to four Coverage Units (CU). The NU accepts Donor signals from
either the outside cellular network or a locally installed Small Cell, and passes that service over Cat 5e (or better)
cabling to CUs mounted where cellular service is needed.

The CUs contain their own transmit amplifiers and are powered from the NU through Power over Ethernet (PoE).
This allows for flexible placement of the CU’s since AC power at the site of each CU is not required.

With four (4) Coverage Units, a combined in-building coverage range of up to 50,000 ft
achieved. For larger coverage area, multiple QUATRA systems may be used.

Cel-Fi QUATRA systems are self-configuring and can be fully managed from Nextivity's WAVE Portal. Status
notifications and alarms are fully customizable.

Decide on the System Configuration (Mode)

Use the table below to determine the recommended donor input configuration for your installation site. Off-Air
donor refers to the use of antennas to receive and redistribute the outdoor macro network service where you need
it indoors. Small Cell donor refers to the use of a dedicated small cell device (usually available through your opera­tor) as the network signal source.

When amplifying the existing outdoor network, service is being shared with other users on the macro network
(your outside cellular experience should become your inside cellular experience). When using a dedicated small
cell input, capacity is being added to the operator’s network at your install site which also helps resolve capacity or
interference problems.

NU Placement based upon System Configuration

Off-Air Donor

To meet regulatory compliance and to assure optimum performance, the approved Cel-Fi External Antenna
must be used (refer to Legal Insert for a list of approved antennas). The WAVE Portal is used to simplify this
step. For applications in rural areas, the internal antennas of the NU may be used.

For best results, test donor signal locations during normal peak usage hours.

1. Determine best existing Off-Air signal location in the building (using phone signal bars), usually near
windows.

a. OPTION: Run a few speed tests on a phone at each location. Higher data rates indicate better signal

quality.

b. ADVANCED: Evaluate signal quality parameters (LTE: RSRQ and SINR/CINR; WCDMA: Ec/Io or CQI).

QUALITY INDICATORS

LTE RSRQ dB
LTE SINR dB
LTE CQI
WCDMA Ec/Io dB
WCDMA CQI

2. NU Internal antennas are sufficient if signal quality is good. If signal quality is poor, use an external antenna.

3. NOTE: The approved external antenna supplied by Nextivity is intended for indoor use. If the antenna is to be

mounted outdoors, the installer is responsible for proper lightning surge protection and cable weatherproof­ing (sold separately).

TIP S FO R NU P LACE M ENT

• Plan to mount the NU within reach of an AC outlet.

• Plan cabling from the NUs to the CUs (use existing unused LAN distribution cables from a
central patch panel, or plan to run new cables).

• If using internal NU antennas, it is best to not run or coil the cabling immediately behind the NU
to avoid effects of metal close to the antennas.

Small Cell Donor:

This configuration connects one or more NUs directly to a small cell through a Small Cell Interface (SCIF) for
signal distribution. Plan to mount both the small cell, SCIF and NU next to each other, and where there is easy
access to LAN cabling and routing (such as an IT closet with pre-existing LAN patch panels).

IMP O RTAN T

To prevent damage or out of specification operation, a QUATRA Small Cell Interface (SCIF) must be
used when connecting QUATRA systems to a small cell.

The actual cabling between the small cell and QUATRA is described in the installation section of this guide.

Cabling Between the Small Cell and QUATRA

The QUATRA Small Cell Interface (SCIF) shown above contains the proper amount of signal attenuation and
port isolation needed when connecting up to four (4) small cell RF ports to the RF ports of one or two QUATRA
NUs. Choose the small cell to match the overall capacity you need and match the QUATRA system size to
achieve the coverage you need. If more than two (2) QUATRA systems are to be used, contact your supplier or

www.cel-fi.com/quatra for more information.

Installation Considerations for NUs and SCIF:

• Plan to mount all NUs and the small cell in the same location so they may be properly interconnected using
the SCIF.

• The SCIF should be mounted above the Small Cell within reach of the Input RF cables.

• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet within reach of the NU power supply.

• Make sure there is room to route CU, LAN, power, and optional RF cables.

• Allow adequate ventilation.

• Do not place the NU close to other transmitting antennas.

• NU Faceplate LEDs should be clearly visible.

TIP S FO R CU P LACE M ENT

• For best performance, mount the CU in an elevated position in open space.

• CU faceplate LEDs should be clearly visible.

• Off-Air Only: For maximum CU transmit power, do not mount CUs close to the NU antenna or the
CU may reduce its transmit power to prevent RF feedback.

OPTIONAL: CU External Antennas

CUs contain internal omnidirectional MIMO antennas, and they are also equipped with external antenna ports in
the event that directional antennas are desired, or if the signal needs to be split to feed multiple service antennas
(splitter and cable losses will result in lower transmit power at the service antennas).

Troubleshooting: QUATRA

QMT/WAVE

LED ISSUE TRY

LED ISSUE TRY

Reset the Network Unit by unplugging the power supply, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back in.
Verify Network Unit software is up to date (using QMT or cloud portal).
If the problem persists, return Network Unit for service.
Make sure that the vents (the small openings in the plastic housing) on the units are not blocked. Move the unit to

a cooler area. The system will start working normally when it cools down.
Reset the Coverage Unit by unplugging it and then plugging it back in.
Verify Coverage Unit software is up to date (using QMT or cloud portal).
Make sure that the LAN cabling to each Coverage Unit is dedicated (not combined with other active LAN hardware

such as routers and switches). Passive connectors may be used (i.e. punch-down blocks) but the maximum cable
distance may be reduced.

If a QUATRA Range Extender is used to lengthen the 100 meter maximum Network Unit to Coverage Unit Ethernet
distance, make sure only a single QUATRA Range Extender (QRE) is used per Coverage Unit. QRE is proprietary and
other extenders will not work. See QRE Troubleshooting.

Uninstall Coverage Unit and plug it into back of Network Unit with a short Ethernet cable that is known to work. If
the Coverage Unit works properly, troubleshoot the original Ethernet cable (or QRE if used).

If the problem persists, return Coverage Unit for service.
Make sure that the vents (the small openings in the plastic housing) on the units are not blocked. Move the unit to

a cooler area. The system will start working normally when it cools down.
Insufficient Donor Signal. If internal antennas used for Network Unit, relocate Network Unit where signals exist or

add and Enable external antennas in Settings.
If external antennas or Small Cell donor signal used, verify external antennas Enabled in Settings and check coaxial

feeds and connectors to Network Unit.
Product Registration is required for your system to operate. Please follow the registration instructions using QMT

or the WAVE portal.
The system has been remotely disabled. Please check for a notification message and contact your Operator or

Vendor.
The Network Unit is receiving too strong a donor signal and may operate with reduced gain or may switch to internal

antennas to protect itself (the signal source could be any Operator’s cell tower if close enough, or it could be
another indoor cellular solution in close proximity to the Network Unit donor antennas).

If internal antennas used, move the Network Unit to another location. You might need to move your system to the
other side of your building.

If external antennas used, move or re-aim the external antennas away from the strong cellular signal source.
If a Small Cell donor is used, make sure the coaxial connections to the Small Cell have the supplied attenuators

installed.
Your system has been moved from its previous Registration location. Please reregister your system at its new

location using QMT or the WAVE portal, or move the system back to its original location.
A Coverage Unit LAN cable may be shorted. Unplug all Coverage Units, power cycle the system, and plug Coverage

Unit cables back in one at a time to check where fault occurs (fault could be in cabling, a QUATRA Range Extender,
or a Coverage Unit).

If QUATRA Range Extenders are used, verify that LAN cable length on either side of the Extenders does not exceed
100 meters.

If none of the above works, try another power supply.
If none of the above works, try another Network Unit.
Verify that a live LAN Ethernet cable is connected to the Network Unit LAN port (not the LAN OUT port which is used

to daisy-chain to another Network Unit LAN port).
Check LAN firewall settings to the cloud (contact your IT Administrator).
Verify system performance and WAVE cloud portal connectivity using QMT (QMT must have an active internet

connection).
Wait. System is in a setup state, which usually takes a few minutes but can take up to thirty (30) minutes if scanning

for new channels in all bands.
