Description
Overview
The Kaelus iPA-2600A is a battery-powered PIM (Passive Intermodulation) test analyzer designed for testing at the top of the tower, base of tower, roof top and in-building for DAS systems. This rugged, 20W analyzer can be operated via remote control with any WiFi-enabled phone, tablet, or laptop computer, enabling hands-free dynamic testing that is both safe and convenient. With an optional Range to Fault (RTF) module, network operators can quickly identify the location of PIM and Return Loss sources to improve site performance and eliminate passive intermodulation sources at the cell site.
