CEL-FI QUATRA EVO: The Enterprise-Grade Cellular Coverage Solution

Are you struggling with weak cellular signals inside your building? The CEL-FI QUATRA EVO is the cutting-edge solution for enterprise environments needing reliable 3G, 4G, and 5G cellular coverage. Designed for seamless integration in spaces like retail stores, hospitals, schools, and offices, CEL-FI QUATRA EVO provides uninterrupted, high-quality cellular connectivity with a scalable and future-ready active DAS hybrid system.

What is CEL-FI QUATRA EVO?

The CEL-FI QUATRA EVO is an advanced in-building cellular coverage system that combines the best features of traditional Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) with modern active signal-boosting technology. Powered by Nextivity’s fourth-generation IntelliBoost chip, it maximizes cellular signal gain, providing consistent and powerful cellular coverage for one or two mobile network operators (MNOs). Unlike passive systems, QUATRA EVO’s all-digital architecture supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and category cabling, simplifying installation and reducing infrastructure costs.

Key Features and Benefits

• IntelliBoost Technology: The proprietary IntelliBoost chip optimizes signal quality in real-time, providing the highest industry gain while ensuring network safety.
• Single or Dual-Operator Support: Customize the setup for either single-operator (four bands) or dual-operator mode (two bands per operator), depending on your cellular coverage needs.
• Fiber Expansion for Scalability: With the CEL-FI QUATRA EVO Fiber Hub, coverage can be expanded up to 2.0 km (1.24 miles) away, supporting up to 12 Coverage Units (CUs) for larger buildings or campus environments.
• Carrier-Grade Reliability: The system meets carrier-grade requirements, ensuring reliable coverage without network interference, certified for use with AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and other major networks.
• Quick and Simple Installation: Thanks to its modular design and PoE support, CEL-FI QUATRA EVO can be installed and configured within days.
• Remote Management via WAVE Portal: Remotely monitor system performance, update settings, and troubleshoot through the Nextivity WAVE Portal.

Hardware Components

The CEL-FI QUATRA EVO system includes three key components that make up a flexible and powerful network:

• Network Unit (NU): The main control unit that interfaces with donor antennas to collect the cellular signal from outside sources and distribute it to Coverage Units.
• Coverage Unit (CU): Each CU retransmits the cellular signal within the building. A single NU can support up to six CUs, and this number doubles with the use of the optional Fiber Hub.
• Fiber Hub: Expands the NU’s reach by adding up to six more CUs. Ideal for larger or multi-building installations, with a maximum range of 2.0 km.

Configuration Options

QUATRA EVO is configurable to suit various operator requirements and building setups:

• Single-Operator Mode: Designed for one mobile network operator (MNO), this mode supports four cellular bands and uses both donor ports for maximum signal quality.
• Dual-Operator Mode: Ideal for enterprises that need support for two operators. This mode configures each donor port for a separate MNO, supporting two bands per operator and ensuring uninterrupted multi-operator service.

Installation & Setup

CEL-FI QUATRA EVO’s modular design and category cabling make it easy to install. Each component is built with simplicity in mind:

1. Plan the Installation: Conduct a site survey to determine optimal locations for donor and server antennas.
2. Mount the NU and CUs: Secure units in strategic locations to maximize coverage. Each CU can cover several thousand square feet.
3. Connect to the WAVE Portal: Register the system online via the WAVE Portal for real-time monitoring and configuration.

WAVE Portal for Management

The Nextivity WAVE Portal enables remote management of CEL-FI QUATRA EVO. This secure cloud-based platform provides:

• System Health Monitoring with live notifications for potential issues.
• Remote Configuration and Firmware Updates to keep your system at peak performance.
• Advanced Analytics, such as signal strength and coverage metrics.
