Pedernales Electric Cooperative

Pedernales Electric Cooperative supplies power to the Texas Hill Country, with 81,000 square miles of service territory. They have served numerous communities for over 80 years

Pedernales Electric Cooperative’s headquarters is a building made of solid stone and concrete. This effectively created a bunker where no signal could enter. The Co-op relied on both ordinary and FirstNet signal to operate well. Without these, their office and warehouse had difficulties providing the services its co-operative members expect.

They contacted Bolton Install Pros for a solution.

Bolton Install Pro consultation found that a Nextivity CEL-FI QUATRA 4000 was the optimal solution for the office and warehouse. This is due to relative weakness of the outdoor signal, which reduces the maximum coverage range of any cell signal boosting solution. Even though the square footage of the plant measured 15,000 sq ft, its construction and outdoor signal conditions made the use of a QUATRA 4000 hybrid DAS desirable.

The CEL-FI QUATRA 4000 excels due to its maximum gain of +100dB, which goes a long way to counteracting weak cellular signal. Coupled with a trio of powerful Bolton Arrow LDPAs, the office was covered in a mere day of installation. No disruption to day-to-day activities was experienced.

In addition, a CEL-FI GO RED unit was hooked up for FirstNet capabilities.

Pedernales Electric Cooperative headquarters now enjoys reliable cell service and FirstNet for all its functions.
