Can I have both Nextel and PCS
systems in my building on the same system?
Yes with limitations. You can have the
following combinations easily by combining both together but you should
contact us first before attempting it:
- Nextel + PCS
- Cellular + PCS
- Blackberry + PCS
- Nextel + Blackberry
- Nextel + Blackberry + PCS.
Other combinations can be used, but
require some engineering.

Do I need to be able to see the
Cellular Tower to use the Building Repeater?
There is no need to see the tower, only
to have a sufficient signal outside the building. The External
antenna, either a Yagi or Panel, can be rotated until the signal
strength inside the building is maximized. In the case of multiple
providers with different towers, you can upgrade the external antenna to
an omni-directional one in which case no rotating is needed. Call us if
there is any questions.
Do I need to know where the
cell tower is to point the exterior Yagi Antenna?
There is no need to know this
information. All you have to do is slowly rotate the Yagi (or Panel) antenna until
the signal on the inside of the building comes up to a maximum. The
direction that the antenna points in is the direction of the tower.
Do I need to connect my cell phone directly to
the repeater?
No. The system is completely wireless.
On the SMR (Nextel) Repeater, can I use the
Walkie Talkie portion of the Cell Phone?
Yes. The building repeater is
designed to work the entire frequency band. The Walkie Talkie
frequencies fall within that range.
I can make a call outside my home, but can't
inside. Will the CAE-500 help?
Our building repeater systems are designed especially for this
situation.
I use the T-Mobile Air Card on GSM. Which CAE-500
package should I get?
The
CAE-500PCS works with all PCS GSM services including T-Mobile, Sprint
services. It works with GPRS and 1XRTT data units including the Air
Card.
