Code Division Multiple Access Repeater for Personal Communications Systems

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) cellular and PCS mobile systems present remarkable opportunities for mobile voice and data communications capacity and utility, and thus are broadly deployed commercially. The Army is working to extend the capabilitiesof these tools into the tactical arena to provide mobile, reliable, secure, ubiquitous information superiority to the soldier in the field. The Army has worked with the Base-station equipment manufactures to acquire the equipment that is suitable fortactical deployment. The tactical Base-station equipment is compact and easily configured, but one base-station may not provide the desired range or configuration.
