1. About this Guide

This User Manual supports all Nextivity CEL-FI GO G43 hardware versions. Each hardware version

supports different cellular frequency bands and/or configurations as they apply to local regulatory

bodies or customers worldwide. Learn more at https://nextivityinc.com/products/cel-fi-go-g43/

The manual covers planning, installation, and management of the GO G43 system.

For more information about Nextivity cellular and Public Safety hardware and software products,

please visit us at www.nextivityinc.com or ask your local operator or supplier.

Safety Precautions

•Use CEL-FI GO G43 indoors. It should not be used outdoors.

•This product is designed to be used with the external AC Adapter that ships with the Unit. When

installing the equipment, all the requirements of the AC Adapter manufacturer and the referenced

standards must be met.

•There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Note

Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Nextivity may void your right to

operate the equipment.

3. Product Interfaces

GO G43 is a wall mountable unit that has Donor and Server Antenna output ports on the Top of the

unit. The Bottom of the unit has a locking DC Input port for use with the supplied AC Adapter, a LAN

port for Certified Installer WAVE Portal remote management, and Micro-USB ports for local

management with a Window PC and WAVE Field Tool* software.

* At the time of publication, the WAVE Field Tool is undergoing an upgrade. Additional functionality will be released in Q1

2024. Contact [email protected] with any questions.

4. Typical Installation Overview

The GO G43 is typically mounted in a Low-Voltage utility room (IDF/MDF). A coaxial cable from

each of the three GO G43 donor ports is connected to a donor antenna on the roof, or another

location where there is a suitable quality donor signal for each operator. The donor ports may be

pre-assigned to three operators, depending on the SKU, and they may be reassigned to the

operators of your choosing using the WAVE Portal, or the WAVE Field Tool windows program

from a PC that may be connected to the GO G43 with a micro-USB cable.

The donor antennas are aimed using the COMPASS XR portable survey tool. Aiming and fine

tuning of antenna directions may also be accomplished by observing RF performance metrics

on the WAVE Portal or WAVE Field Tool.

The GO G43 handles all signal processing and power control functions, and the boosted signals

are fed from the server antenna ports to server antennas in the building using coaxial cable.

More server antennas may be connected using splitters and/or couplers, which is useful for

larger buildings or areas with more walls.

Donor antennas may be mounted in many ways. The most common is a pole mount, often on a

non-penetrating “skid” that does not penetrate the roof or damage the roof membrane.

5. Installation Prerequisites

Before starting a project, do the following:

1. If you are a professional installer, make sure you have a WAVE Portal account.

Access to the WAVE Portal is only granted to trained installers that have passed

relevant Nextivity University online courses. Request Portal Access.

2. In order for the GO G43 to connect to the WAVE Portal in the cloud, a LAN connection

must be supplied by the customer according to the firewall requirements in Appendix

A. Normally a Virtual LAN is configured for the GO G43 so it remains separate from

the customer’s network.

3. In the event that a LAN connection cannot be provided, the GO G43 can still be

commissioned using the WAVE Field Tool* software program for Microsoft

Windows. Download the tool at https://nextivityinc.com/software/wavefieldtool/

* At the time of publication, the WAVE Field Tool is undergoing an upgrade. Additional functionality will be released in Q1

2024. Contact [email protected] with any questions.

6. Installation

Nextivity University has additional courses and information that may be helpful.

6.1 Step 1: Site Survey

Current Service and Needs

Visit the project site and measure current service for each operator. If using a cell phone for each

operator, evaluate service using signal “bars” on test phones. Wi-Fi calling must be disabled.

You can also use the Nextivity COMPASS XR and WAVE Pro App, which are specifically designed

to measure all operator bands and channels at the same time. The WAVE Portal may be used to

quickly generate professional signal reports using uploaded floor plans.

Do all operators need boosting? If not, then the GO G43 may be assigned to relay one to three

operators as needed.

Do all areas in the building need boosted service? It is best to favor service antennas where service

is needed most, and the customer will know the most important areas.

Where to Install Donor Antennas

This is the most important decision to make when planning. The Donor Antennas should be

installed on the side of the building with the best service quality for each operator (typically a

roof or high up on an exterior wall). This may also be a corner of the building which allows easier

antenna aiming on two sides of the building. If the space to be covered is a suite or floor within a

larger building, where outdoor antennas may not be possible, find the best windows or exterior

rooms with the best service for each operator, and plan to install the donor antennas there (most

likely outward facing panel antennas).

Using COMPASS XR or cell phones for the operators to boost, observe signal “bars” on the

phones while running internet speed tests using the phone’s browser. The speed tests will be the

best indication of donor signal quality.

Later when the donor antennas have been installed, they will be aimed. Make sure that the

antennas will be able to swing across the horizon to candidate cell towers, without obstructions

such as roof equipment or building signage.

If you are a tenant in a larger building, without exterior or roof donor antenna access options,

consider mounting a panel donor antenna on or near a window. Only the GO G43 with its

outstanding Echo Cancelation capability will allow donor and server antennas to be installed this

close together and still achieve full coverage power.

OCT 2023 Page | 10

Where to Install the GO G43 and Run Cables

Also, during the Site Survey decide where the GO G43 will be installed. This is usually on a wall in

a utility or IDF/MDF IT room with either existing roof conduit cable access, or a suitable location

for a roof/exterior penetration for the cables. If outdoor donor antennas are not possible, make

sure that cables may be run to a suitable indoor donor antenna location.

The GO G43 mounting location will also need a suitable power outlet for the unit and have

coaxial cable pathway access to the server antennas that will be installed within the building.

Low-Voltage cable pathways are a good choice, away from power cables.

6.2 Step 2: Plan the System

In the previous step you determined where the GO G43, donor antennas, and cabling will go. You

will now want to select your antennas from the approved list of Nextivity antennas.

http://www.nextivityinc.com/antennas

The GO G43 has three server antenna ports. For a smaller project, usage of a single server port

should be enough. For larger projects, you may use two or all three server ports for more

coverage power. Plan to connect each server port you intend to use to at least one server

antenna, using ½ inch coaxial cable as needed. Thinner cables are more lossy and will reduce

your coverage power.
