Product Description
Cel-Fi QUATRA is a scalable in-building cellular system that is a cost-efficient and easy-to-deploy solution for delivering high quality signal in venues up to 200,000 sq. ft. It is a hybrid solution that combines the best of active DAS and Smart Booster technologies. It operates in off-air mode or can be integrated with carrier small cell equipment and operated in distributed small cell mode, creating a Supercell.
Cel-Fi QUATRA is self-configuring and self-optimizing, distributes RF over Ethernet (RFoE) and leverages Power-over-Ethernet (POE) for ease and accuracy of installation by IT personnel. The system is easy to monitor and manage with the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform.
Configurations are available for use on U.S., Canadian, and Latin American carrier networks.

Cel-Fi QUATRA Network Unit (NU)
The Cel-Fi QUATRA Network Unit (NU) is the hub of the system. The scalable design works with one to four Coverage Units to provide up to 50,000 sq ft. of coverage.
- Provides Donor Signal to Cel-Fi QUATRA System
- Provides Power to Coverage Units (Up to Four)
- Connects to WAVE Cloud Platform for Remote Monitoring and Management
Cel-Fi QUATRA Coverage Unit (CU)
Cel-Fi QUATRA Coverage Unit (CU) is the remote radio head of the system that rebroadcasts the donor signal. The cost efficient and easy-to-deploy system leverages Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) for up to four CUs.
- Provides coverage in the Cel-Fi QUATRA system (up to four per Network Unit)
- Power delivered by Power-Over-Ethernet from the Network Unit
- Self-configuring and self-optimizing
Cel-Fi QUATRA Small Cell Interface
The Cel-Fi QUATRA Small Cell Interface (SCIF) simplifies RF connections between a small cell and NUs. It includes a main unit and all cables for a single NU.
- Simplifies connections to a small cell
- Provides proper signal attenuation and isolation
- Required for small cell Installation
Cel-Fi MIMO Panel Antenna powered by AntennaBoost
The Cel-Fi MIMO Panel Antenna is the only authorized indoor/outdoor antenna for Cel-Fi QUATRA.
Cel-Fi AntennaBoost integrates the Cel-Fi MIMO Panel Antenna with the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform to provide the best donor signal in the industry. The antenna connects to any MIMO-enabled NU or CU with QMA (quick connect) cables. Nextivity’s proprietary 8-position dial base enables the antenna to be rotated in 45-degree increments for best performance, managed with real-time data from the Cel-Fi WAVE Platform Antenna Position Test.
- High gain directional MIMO panel antenna
- Donor managed with AntennaBoost’s 8-position aiming mount
- Includes options for ceiling, wall, and pole mounting
- Required for off-air installation of multiple CUs
Cel-Fi QUATRA Range Extender (QRE)
Cel-Fi QUATRA Range Extender is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that extends the maximum distance between the NU and the CU.
- Allows NU-to-CU cable lengths of up to 200 meters (650 ft.)
- Power over Ethernet (no separate power supply or PoE injector needed)
