A Donor Antenna That Aims Itself.
A booster or a distributed antenna system can only share the signal its donor antenna brings in from the roof.
What SOCA Changes
Donor Antenna Alignment
- The donor is aimed on twelve measurements, not on a meter and a guess.
- Signal strength, quality and band are logged at every position, so the design can be checked against what the roof actually gets.
- When the operator moves the cell the donor was pointed at, the donor follows, from a desk.

What Cellular Path Publishes It For
Cellular Path publishes the Smart model for SISO antennas, boosters and distributed antenna systems: one coax run to a directional yagi or log periodic. That is the manufacturer's description of its own product, not a statement about any United Kingdom installation.
Which Model
SOCA-01-T-4G50 Smart 4G is the donor model. It carries its own modem, so it measures the signal for itself.
Where a router Cellular Path has verified already feeds the site, SOCA-02 No Modem does the same job on that router's readings.
The United Kingdom Position, Plainly
A mobile repeater transmits. A static indoor repeater may be used here without a licence only where it meets the Wireless Telegraphy (Mobile Repeater) (Exemption) Regulations 2022 and Ofcom's Interface Requirement IR 2102. Larger in-building systems are deployed with the mobile network operators' agreement instead.
SOCA aims the antenna. It is not a repeater and it does not make an unlawful one lawful. Check the United Kingdom rules and your booster's own requirements before you quote.
