Introduction

Unacceptable network quality is one of the main reasons for mobile subscriber churn. With increasing industry churn rates, a service provider’s entire customer base could be lost in as few as three years. The cost of acquiring new subscribers to replace the existing customer base can be enormous. Improvements in quality of service can directly impact a service provider’s profitability through the cost savings associated with increased subscriber retention and the additional revenue gained from increased billable minutes of use resulting from improved signal quality.

While subscribers are willing to pay a premium for data services, improved QoS is necessary to provide new data services. Due to the tradeoff between bit rate and bandwidth inherent to data services, improved signal quality is required to achieve the same level of performance at even higher data rates. ADC’s ClearGain GMAs help provide this improvement in signal quality.

ClearGain GMAs improve signal quality by boosting the uplink (RX) signal of a mobile system. GMAs perform this amplification with the lowest possible noise contribution, resulting in a substantial increase in receiver performance and an improvement in overall coverage. These improvements in QoS allow mobile subscribers to place more calls, make longer calls, and successfully complete calls in an expanded geographic area, resulting in increased revenue.

System Overview

The ClearGain GMA system is modular, consisting of an amplification module and a power distribution unit (PDU), providing full compatibility with all base stations.

The ClearGain GMA offers dual duplex operation and incorporates a highly advanced fixed-gain, low- noise amplifier (LNA) and high-performance filters for added reliability.
