Welcome to the AirBooster™ 350 RF amplifier

The AirBooster 350 is an intelligent RF amplifier for boosting some Sierra Wireless Class III (600mW) CDPD devices to Class I (3W). The amplifier is an "intelligent" booster in that it does not simply apply a fixed gain to a varying input RF level as a linear amplifier would. Instead, the AirBooster amplifier takes a constant RF level from the CDPD device and applies as much gain as the CDPD system requires at that moment.

A GPS Option is also available, adding a GPS receiver inside the package. This is available as a field upgrade kit or pre-installed at the factory. Documentation related to GPS is covered in a separate section.
