Copyright 2014 Airpoint Limited Sprint FT Repeater 1 Safety Notices This document contains safety notices in accordance with appropriate standards. Any installation, adjustment, maintenance and repair of the equipment must only be carried out by trained, authorized personnel. At all times, personnel must comply with any safety notices and instructions. Specific hazards are indicated by symbol labels on or near the affected parts of the equipment. The labels conform to international standards, are triangular in shape, and are colored black on a yellow background. An informative text label may accompany the symbol label. Any Booster or Repeater system will generate radio (RF) signals and continuously emit RF energy. In order to avoid prolonged exposure to the antennas, Airport Co., LTD recommends maintaining a 300cm minimum separation distance from the antenna while the system is operating.

Copyright 2014 Airpoint Limited Sprint FT Repeater 2 Introduction The ICS (Interference Cancelling System) repeater has been designed to meet the needs of Network Operators wanting to maximize operational performance while enjoying the cost saving benefits of an effective, integrated, Repeater and eNodeB strategy. The ICS repeater improves signal quality by eliminating problems such as weak and unstable receive and transmit signals. Customers will enjoy better signal quality, easier access and more stable links. Using innovative interference cancelling technology, antenna isolation can be improved between 20 dB
(depending on model) when multi-path feedback signals are present. Following figure describes ICS repeater system configuration. Figure 1 System Configuration
