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 .
