  • Publication number: 20240154685
    Abstract: A technology is described for a repeater comprising a modem configured to function as a time division duplex (TDD) uplink/downlink modem configured as a scanning sync detection module (SDM) configured to determine an UL/DL configuration information and scan channels for monitoring information. The modem can be configured to: identify one or more frequency ranges associated with a plurality of cellular carriers; scan the one or more frequency ranges; identify monitoring information that includes cellular carrier specific information for the one or more frequency ranges associated with the plurality of cellular carriers; and provide the monitoring information to the repeater for communication to the remote server.

  • Publication number: 20240113771
    Abstract: A technology is described for a dual path repeater configurable for a split mode and a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) mode. The dual path repeater can comprise first and second server ports and first and second donor ports. Four amplification and filtering paths are communicatively coupled between the ports. Each amplification and filtering path include a software defined filter (SDF). The SDFs are configured to filter the same 3GPP bands to provide MIMO communication or the first SDF and the second SDF are configured to filter different bands to enable the dual path switchable repeater to provide split mode communication on multiple TDD/FDD bands.

  • Publication number: 20240080103
    Abstract: A technology is described for a repeater. The repeater can comprise a first antenna port, a second antenna port, one or more first direction amplification and filtering paths, one or more second direction amplification and filtering paths, and a controller. The first antenna port can be configured to be coupled to a first antenna. The second antenna port can be configured to be coupled to a second antenna. The one or more first direction amplification and filtering paths can be coupled between the first antenna port and the second antenna port. The one or more second direction amplification and filtering paths can be coupled between the first antenna port and the second antenna port. The controller can be configured to switch the repeater between a radio frequency (RF) mode or a fiber optic mode.

  • Publication number: 20210203404
    Abstract: A technology is described for a repeater system configured to provide services via a cloud-computing environment. The repeater system can comprise an n-band repeater, wherein n is a positive integer greater than 0; a server port; a donor port; one or more processors and memory in communication with the n-band repeater; and a scanning receiver coupled to the one or more processors and memory, wherein the scanning receiver is configured to scan one or more of the n bands of the n-band repeater and communicate carrier-specific information for the one or more of the n bands to a computer server located in the cloud-computing environment to enable access to the carrier-specific information from the cloud-computing environment.

  • Patent number: 10389430
    Abstract: Technology for multi-amplifier repeaters to offset at least a portion of a determined transmission loss across a RF wired signal path coupled the repeaters, while complying is regulator constraints, is disclosed. A repeater can use an RF reference signal or the RF communication signals to determine the transmission loss across the RF wired signal path, while the repeaters amplify the RF communication signals.
