Extend wireless coverage and support compatible location-aware applications with Inovonics EchoStream® repeaters and locators for commercial wireless security and mobile duress systems. Inovonics repeaters are designed to extend EchoStream wireless coverage across larger or RF-challenging facilities. Inovonics locators serve a different purpose, providing location-related information for compatible mobile duress applications.
For security dealers and system integrators designing, expanding, or servicing an Inovonics wireless installation, selecting the correct infrastructure components—and placing them appropriately—is an important part of reliable system performance.
Inovonics EchoStream repeaters receive compatible EchoStream wireless transmissions and retransmit them to help extend wireless coverage. Repeaters can be useful where distance, building construction, equipment, floor plans, or other environmental conditions affect communication between wireless devices and receiving equipment.
Inovonics high-power repeaters are designed to support EchoStream wireless installations by receiving and retransmitting compatible messages while using Inovonics signal-processing technology to help distinguish valid transmissions from background RF activity.
Repeaters may be particularly useful in facilities where wireless coverage is affected by distance, building construction, layout, or other environmental conditions.
Every building creates a different RF environment. Repeater requirements should be based on the actual conditions of the installation rather than building size alone.
Distance, walls, floors, construction materials, equipment, building geometry, transmitter placement, receiver placement, repeater placement, RF interference, and changes to the facility layout can all influence wireless performance.
The Inovonics EN5040 family of high-power repeaters is designed to extend the range of compatible EchoStream wireless transmissions.
High-power repeater designed to support compatible EchoStream wireless installations.
Transformer-equipped repeater option for compatible EchoStream installations.
Additional transformer-equipped model for compatible applications.
The appropriate model depends on the requirements of the installation, including power and equipment configuration. When replacing an existing repeater or selecting equipment for a new installation, verify the current Inovonics specifications, model number, power requirements, and compatibility before ordering.
Inovonics repeaters give integrators additional flexibility when designing EchoStream wireless coverage. Depending on the installation, repeaters can help extend coverage, address difficult building layouts, support multi-floor installations, and expand an existing EchoStream system.
Extend wireless coverage into additional rooms and areas.
Support communication across larger commercial facilities and campuses.
Help address building layouts and construction that can affect wireless communication.
Help expand existing EchoStream wireless infrastructure.
The number and placement of repeaters should be determined by the requirements of the individual installation.
Inovonics EchoStream repeaters and locators can both be part of a wireless installation, but they perform different functions. A repeater is used primarily to extend compatible EchoStream wireless coverage, while a locator is used as part of a compatible Inovonics mobile duress solution to provide location-related information.
A project may require repeaters, locators, or both depending on the application and system architecture.
The Inovonics EN5060 Locator is designed for compatible Inovonics mobile duress applications. The locator works as part of the overall system infrastructure to provide location-related information associated with compatible mobile duress devices.
Rather than functioning as a general-purpose EchoStream repeater, the EN5060 is intended to support the location capabilities of the compatible mobile duress solution.
Repeater placement should be based on the actual RF conditions of the facility rather than assumptions based only on distance or square footage. Construction materials, equipment, floor-to-floor propagation, device locations, receiver locations, and other environmental conditions can influence wireless performance.
Before finalizing a new installation or major system expansion, evaluate wireless coverage throughout the areas where transmitters will be used. An RF site survey or other installation planning process can help identify potential coverage challenges and determine where repeaters may be appropriate.
This can be particularly valuable in large or complex commercial facilities where building construction and equipment can make wireless performance difficult to predict.
Locator placement requires a different planning approach from repeater placement. Repeaters are positioned to support wireless communication and coverage, while locators are positioned to support the location capabilities required by the mobile duress system.
Identify areas where mobile duress devices will be used.
Consider the desired level of location information.
Account for floors, separate areas, and construction materials.
Follow system design recommendations and receiving infrastructure requirements.
More locators do not automatically guarantee a particular level of location accuracy. The complete system should be designed according to the requirements and specifications of the Inovonics mobile duress solution.
Repeaters can be useful when an existing EchoStream installation needs to expand into additional rooms, floors, buildings, or other areas. Before adding equipment, identify the existing Inovonics infrastructure and determine where additional wireless coverage is required.
For an expansion, gather information such as:
This information can help determine whether the project requires additional repeaters, locators, or other system components.
When replacing existing equipment, start with the model or part number of the current Inovonics device. Do not assume that products with similar appearances or functions are direct replacements.
Verify the existing model or part number.
Confirm EchoStream and system compatibility.
Verify power requirements and installation configuration.
Confirm the intended application and receiving equipment.
For mobile duress applications, also verify the mobile duress system requirements. For older installations, documenting the existing Inovonics equipment before ordering can help avoid compatibility problems and unnecessary return service visits.
Start by identifying what the system needs to accomplish. The application will help determine whether a repeater, locator, or combination of products is appropriate.
A compatible Inovonics repeater may be appropriate.
An Inovonics locator may be required.
The system design may require both repeaters and locators.
The exact equipment and quantity should be determined from the existing Inovonics system, facility RF environment, application, and installation requirements.
