The Pro 710i indoor antenna features +23 dBm of downlink power and provides up to 100,000 square feet of indoor coverage to help improve 5G cellular connectivity indoors. As 5G is deployed to additional areas in 2020, the need to expand connections to indoor locations will become increasingly important for 5G in hotels, healthcare facilities, schools, manufacturing plants, commercial and residential properties and more.

The amplifier can be used as a standalone product to support the 600 MHz band for T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and other carriers or it can be installed to run in parallel with any existing amplifier system without the need to replace other amplifiers. The amplifier boosts the signal for an entire building’s tenants, employees and visitors that subscribe to carriers using the 600 MHz band.

The Pro 710i does not require permission from every carrier prior to installation. Instead it only requires registration and approval by any carrier broadcasting Band 71 (600 MHz) in that area.

The amplifier uses extended dynamic range (XDR) technology to adjust any changes in outdoor signal quality so it won’t overload or shut down.
