ACOM Communicacoes, the leading Digital MMDS Operator in Brazil, has started to expand the coverage area of the system in the city of Manaus by installing several one-way and two-way outdoor broadband repeaters.

The one-way repeaters provide digital TV service and are mounted in strategic locations selected to provide service in areas blocked by terrain or other obstacles.

The two-way repeaters provide broadband TV as well as wireless internet coverage in blocked areas.

Luiz Fernando Martins, Chief Engineer of ACOM commented that, “by physically separating the downstream from the upstream signals paths, the Cable AML repeaters provide flexibility in the deployment of TV and Wireless Internet services independent of each other and of the physical configuration of the relay site. This makes it much easier to find sites for the repeaters.”
