Nextivity’s Cel-Fi system is a carrier-grade solution designed to eliminate indoor dead zones and work in harmony with the macro network.
Designed with smart antenna technology and onboard intelligence, our Cel-Fi products continually seek out the best available signal and automatically adjust to any changes in the RF (Radio Frequency) environment in order to maximize the signal gain to the user. Powered by our IntelliBoost Baseband Processor, Nextivity's Cel-Fi products are designed to protect the integrity of the wireless network while increasing the effective RF capacity of each base station. IntelliBoost is the first core processor designed specifically to optimize the indoor transmission and reception of 3G wireless signals. It adds a layer of intelligence to the real-time operation of our Cel-Fi products. With our high capacity, ultra-low latency IntelliBoost modem onboard, Nextivity solutions deliver reliable performance under the most challenging indoor conditions.
A Cel-Fi system consists of two devices: a Window Unit (WU) and a Coverage Unit (CU). The WU and the CU work in concert to deliver unprecedented in-building data rates and pervasive 3G connectivity throughout the home.
This breakthrough approach enables a fully wireless, indoor coverage solution with true plug-and-play functionality. Even the most non-technical subscriber can install our Cel-Fi system in a matter of minutes. No cables. No ladders. No drilling, No interference. Our elegant user interface enables an intuitive installation and removes the help desk burden associated with other consumer wireless products.
Nextivity’s award-winning solution has been designed for mobile operators who need to optimize in-building data rates and voice quality in order to increase subscriber retention and ARPU (average revenue per user). By improving the photo imaging, mobile gaming, video sharing and social networking experience in their customer’s homes, mobile network operators will increase subscriber loyalty as new 3G and 3.5G applications come on line.
Cel-Fi Benefits for the Operator Community...
- Increased Network Capacity: Supporting greater numbers of concurrent subscribers (and a better user experience which leads to a greater ARPU).
- Reduced Churn: Fewer dropped calls and higher data rates help ensure customer satisfaction and increase retention. Nextivity Cel-Fi products also serve as a unique subscriber save option for customer support teams. Our system can be sent via overnight courier and installed the next day by subscribers with unsatisfactory indoor coverage.
- Higher Data Service Usage: IntelliBoost-powered Cel-Fi products significantly improve the subscriber experience in weak signal areas (and in areas where the signal was previously strong enough to support only voice usage).
- Decreased Operational Cost: Compared to traditional repeater, pico and femto approaches, a Cel-Fi system lowers the cost of in-building coverage and increases the capacity of 3G wireless networks.
- Network Safe Operation: Cel-Fi products are specifically designed to complement the existing macro network with automatic, real-time gain adjustment.
- Carrier-Specific: Provides enhanced service only to the mobile carrier network through which the products are purchased. The security core on the IntelliBoost processor ensures this.
- Self Adjusting: By automatically selecting the correct frequency, Cel-Fi eliminates the provisioning burden on back office systems. Unlike alternative indoor coverage options, there are no additional management costs or drain on operator resources to account for a Cel-Fi system’s impact on the network.
- Home Zone Tariffing: A Cel-Fi system gives mobile network operators the ability to offer location-based rate plans.
Cel-Fi Benefits for Residential Subscribers...
- Optimized Voice Coverage: Allowing subscribers to enjoy crystal clear calls throughout 99% of homes.
- Improved Data Throughput: Offering a real-world bandwidth boost of greater than 4X in weak signal areas and more than double the throughput in areas where the signal is strong enough to support voice calls.
- Improved Battery Life: With the decrease in handset TX power enabled by Cel-Fi systems, subscribers enjoy significantly longer battery life.
- Ease of Installation: The Nextivity solution eliminates the need for external antennas and bulky coaxial cables. It is a true plug-and-play system. Once installed, Cel-Fi products automatically sense and adjust to changes in the Carrier network (or installation of other Cel-Fi systems nearby) to provide "No-Touch" service throughout the home.
