OPTICALLY CONTROLLED METASURFACE-BASED REPEATER FOR FR1 5G NETWORK

SKU0016
DESCRIPTION

The device is designed for use in 5G wireless communication networks and Wi-Fi 5 GHz networks to enhance the signal strength for subscribers, particularly those outside the direct line of sight of the base station (BS) transmitter or router. The device includes detection modules that can be adapted for use with managed grids in other frequency ranges. Managed metasurfaces are considered one of the most promising components for the widespread implementation of 5G systems. The device contains a specially designed detection unit that tracks the position of receivers, analyzing data from a camera to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the quality of the received signal.
