Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. (ADRF) announced the first-of-its-kind SDRX-43-N77H carrier-grade high-power repeater to support the upper C-Band spectrum. Together with SDRX-43-BTF, which provides connectivity for 2.5 GHz broadband radio service (BRS), the SDRX Series supports some of the most critical 5G mid-band spectrum for U.S. wireless networks.
The SDRX Series provides a cost-effective alternative to base stations, offering a quick and affordable means of delivering indoor and outdoor 5G coverage in metropolitan and rural areas. In keeping with ADRF’s flexible design philosophy, the SDRX-43-N77H can be individually wall-mounted or installed in an SDR-ICS chassis as a modular upgrade to existing infrastructure. The system can be configured and monitored remotely using a web-based graphical user interface, which provides access and monitoring to receive alarm notifications or make minor adjustments instantaneously.
“C-Band spectrum support is an important addition to our SDRX Series, allowing ADRF to provide enterprises, carriers, and other institutions an easy means of 5G mid-band connectivity wherever and whenever they need it,” said Sun Kim, director of engineering at ADRF. “With wireless becoming more essential by the day across all industries, this is a crucial product to make connectivity more accessible and affordable to the masses, not just large venues.”
The SDRX-43-N77H features include:
- Up to three non-contiguous selectable channels
- Each selectable channel can support between 20 and 100 MHz
- Supports 5G NR and 5G NR Standalone
- Up to 20 W composite DL output power
- Up to 95 dB of gain with selectable gain range of 40 dB
- Built-in ALC function to prevent overpower.
The SDRX-43-N77H will be commercially available this February.
