What Coverage Improvement You Can Expect
Buildings, due to their construction, create a barrier to the transmission of radio signal. Spotwave's products overcome this barrier and can take a relatively weak outdoor signal, and boost and retransmit it inside the building at increased signal strength.
Our SpotCell 167 is rated to provide signal improvement up to 25,000 sq ft in a typical office environment which includes enclosed offices. The coverage area could be greater in a more open environment like a warehouse or smaller in a more densely walled environment. Since every building is different, we recommend placing the coverage unit in zones where signal improvement is required most. The signal may diminish somewhat as it passes through walls and other obstructions such as floors or machinery.
When wall-to-wall coverage blanketing of large buildings is required, multiple coverage units or systems may be needed.
Quick Deployment
Installation of our wireless coverage products is straightforward and can be performed by a Spotwave certified installer. Channel programming can be performed at your location via the viewer software included in the solution.
Customer Testimonials
"Our team was very impressed not only with the coverage improvement and cost-effectiveness of the solution, but with the fact that the system was deployed in 20 minutes with essentially no tools and no test equipment. This is a perfect product for any agency faced with potential 800 MHz frequency migration, its flexibility assures it does not become obsolete. We look forward to adding the SpotCell 167 to our current product and service offerings."

Requirements
In order for the product to function properly you will need the following:
- Desired repeated frequencies must be in the 800 MHz SMR band
- There should be at least 2 bars of signal where the Donor Unit will be mounted (-85dBm)
- If there is a requirement to install the Donor Unit outside, you may need landlord permission to access the roof or an outside structure
*Per system — can be configured with multiple systems to increase coverage area. Coverage area indicated is based on typical building characteristics but not guaranteed. Coverage area will be determined by multiple factors including strength of signal received from the carrier network, construction materials, and location of Spotwave equipment. If you have any questions on pricing or coverage, please contact us - we would be happy to answer your questions.
