GSM1900M Tower Mounted Booster

TB-1900(40W)
Features
High downlink power 46dBm for extended cell coverage. MCPA with 20MHz Instantaneous Bandwidth can support multiple GSM Downlink carriers. Low noise amplifier reduces uplink system noise figure and helps to reduce call drop and improve voice quality. Reduces handset output power to improve uplink C/I. Permits local or remote monitoring via PC or wireless modem. Alarms can be transmitted to OMC via data link or SMS. External alarm to BTS by voltage-free relay contacts. Automatic RF by-pass feature permits BTS operation when equipment or power supply fails. Internal Li-ion backup battery ensures alarm messages are transmitted when equipment or power supply fails. Designed for all outdoor application waterproof, damp-proof and omni-sealed (IP65).

Product Description
The TB-1900 is a GSM tower mounted booster (TMB) that provides both uplink and downlink amplification. The TMB unit is installed near the antenna at the tower top to boost the transmitted power for extended cell coverage. The uplink low-noise amplifier (LNA) serves to improve the sensitivity of the BTS to cope with the extended cell coverage in the downlink. The TB-1900 is powered through a separate power cable, with various power supply options. The system consists of duplexers, uplink LNA, downlink MCPA, RF by-pass switch, main control unit (MCU), distribution board, power supply unit, surge protector, wireless modem, and Li-ion backup battery. Parameter settings of the unit can be done locally via a PC with OMT, or remotely via wireless modem using OMT or OMC software. Alarms are displayed on the OMT screen and could be detected by BTS as external alarm. Through the wireless modem, the alarm data can be transmitted to the OMC automatically, or be sent as SMS to a predefined cellular device.

Operation and Maintenance
Using a direct serial connection to a PC, installation and commissioning of the TB-1900 is accomplished by the OMT at the bottom PCU. Using the integrated wireless modem (data or SMS mode), equipment parameters can be monitored and controlled remotely. Controlled equipment parameters include: Channel No, UL/DL ATT, Soft ON/OFF, Over-Temp Threshold, DL Output Power Threshold, DL Input Power Threshold and Alarm Report Enable. Monitored equipment alarms and parameters include: Alarms (LNA, DL PA, Power Down, PSU Fault, Door Open, DL Input Power Low, DL Output Power Low, Over Temp), UL/DL Gain, DL Input /Output Power. The TB-1900 has been developed to take advantage of advanced network operation, where the OMC (optional) provides an effective solution for central monitoring of a group of Comba products.
