What Is a Bidirectional Amplifier (BDA) System & How Does It Work?

A bi-directional amplifier system is designed to receive and amplify RF signals while eliminating the most common RF interference, noise, and distortions within buildings. Everything within a commercial or industrial building has the potential to reflect, distort, refract, or absorb RF signals, making communication extremely difficult. 

Building materials, walls, glass, tables, chairs, and everything within a building can block RF signals, leading to a loss of signal strength (attenuation) or, in the worst cases, absolute signal loss. A bi-directional amplification system from Keystone will effectively eliminate these issues.
