Abstract

The invention relates to a repeater system (1) for relaying the exchanges between a base station mobile telecommunication network and a user terminal, comprising an outside antenna (10) that can communicate with the base station, as well as retransmission means (20) connected to the outside antenna, wherein the retransmission means (20) are designed to act as the interface between the outside antenna (10) and an inside antenna (30) that can communicate with the user terminal to retransmit the signals received by either one of the antennae destined for the other antenna, characterized in that the outside antenna is an optically transparent planar antenna integrated into an optically transparent panel (2) used for the indoor lighting of a building.
