電信商可用之招(3)
• 建置基地台來解決室內外的網路覆蓋及系統容量是最好的
方案, 但是
– 建置成本過高
– 基地台站點抗爭
– 小型基站(Pico/femto BS)的解決方案不成熟 , 商業模式不清楚
• WiFi + outdoor CPE來解決室內覆蓋是個快速的解決方案,
但是無法保證服務品質(QoS, Quality of Services)
• 建置Repeater不失為另一種 “好的”室內外網路覆蓋解決方
案
– 佈建簡單
– 成本低廉

小結: Repeater使用情境
• Repeater使用在電信網路及數位電視廣播上，用來填補基站
的覆蓋空隙或死角(Coverage Enhancement)，甚至擴大基
站覆蓋範圍(Range Extension)

Repeater到底是何方神聖?
• Repeater(強波器) = 濾波器 +放大器
• 濾波器(Filter): 僅通過想要放大的信號, 阻
絕其他信號/干擾
• 放大器(Amplifier): 放大信號的功率

Repeater的種類
• Repeater主要可分類為
– 無線射頻Repeater: Band-selective, Channel-selective, Frequencyshift
– 光纖Repeater
• 若以信號放大的處理方式來說，可分為類比式(Analog)及數
位式(Digital)

Digital Repeater的好處
• 對Operator
– 安裝容易且可動態調整參數，縮短工程時間且減少工
程人員派遣至站點的次數
– 效能穩定，減少掉話率(Drop Call Rate) ，進而減少客
訴率
• 對Repeater Maker
– Digital Repeater的售價佳，Profit Margin高
– 可快速客製化，並減少Analog Repeater造成的高庫存

Digital Repeater的關鍵技術：ICS
• ICS: Interference Cancellation System
– To combat the insufficiency of RF isolation between the donor
and service antennas
– To enable repeater maximum output power with “Good Enough”
signal quality under deployment limitation

Digital Repeater的關鍵技術：PNP
• PNP: Plug and Play
– End users can easily install the repeater by themselves without any
technician’s support
– Operators do not need to spend installation expenses
• Working principle
– Module periodically detect the received signal strength
– Accordingly, the module automatically adjust the gain based on the PNP
algorithm such that the repeater/relay is always operating in an (sub-)
optimal condition (max. linear amplification, min. interference)
• PNP repeater installation procedure
– Step 1: End users measure the signal strength by their mobile phones
– Step 2: Put the PNP repeater near the windows, where the signal
strength is relatively good
– Step 3: Power on the repeater and that is all

Repeater產業生態
• Repeater一直以來都是Operator直接採購，因此
Repeater Business相當區域化
• Own Brand Repeater Makers (在台灣及大陸的Own
Brand Repeater廠商的大部分產品為ODM/OEM貼牌)

China: Comba(京信), Crentech(國人), Hxct(虹信), …
Korea: Solid Tech, Withus, ..
TW: Coiler (台灣可億隆), 佳得(Remotek)
• Repeater ODM/OEM集中在中國大陸及韓國
– 分別有大大小小上百家ODM/OEM，而且幾乎只專注在其本國市
場

主流Repeater產品現況
• 目前在全球的 Repeater市場中，仍以Analog Repeater為
主，但Analog Repeater的缺點是需要繁複的工程施工及
設定，尤其需要穩定的信號傳輸環境
• 由於Digital技術能讓Repeater安裝簡便，並且適合變動的
信號傳輸環境，因此Digital Repeater應用一開始就受到相
當矚目及期待

Repeater市場未來性
• 除中國外，印度及泰國等國家都將陸續發行3G執照。另
外，隨著無線行動通訊走向4G，對於無線信號的覆蓋品
質要求會越來越高，因此未來透過Repeater來達成覆蓋優
化的需求會越多
• 隨著Digital技術的成熟，可以將Repeater整機包括Donor
及Service Antennas作成All-in-one，這將促成家用及個人
Repeater的市場來臨，市場規模將至少會有倍數以上的成
長
• 一般室外與室內Repeater的數量比例約為1:10，目前室內
的市場主要集中在室內公共區域或營業場所，如地鐵、百
貨公司、餐廳及辦公室。
• 目前全球一年的Repeater市場規模約為2~3B USD(室內及
室外約1:1)

Mobile Comm. Evolution in
Next Decade (2)
• User behavior has been changing from mobile voice to
mobile data
• WCDMA/HSPA still dominates the market share of
mobile communications in the following years
• Then, paradigm shift to B3G/4G will occur. Only niche
market of B3G/4G at this moment
• Two candidates left in the race to the 4G
– 802.16m(WiMAX2) by IEEE & WiMAX Forum
– LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) by 3GPP
