Macro base station in micro size

Product overview
Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN) Flexi Compact Base Station is the industrys first
full scale 3 sector macro base station in one module. It has integrated baseband
and transport functionalities with E1/T1 and IP/Ethernet connectivity and a radio
frequency module which supports GSM/WCDMA/LTE technologies.
The product is based on the award winning NSN Flexi Base Station platform with
lowest power consumption in the industry. The base station is equipped with 3x60W
at antenna connector and offers SW scalable capacity from 1 to 18 TRX.
High performance with smallest size
Flexi Compact Base Station is designed to address the current challenges faced by the
operators. It has the highest level of integration, comprising of a single module with
three sectors.
Flexi Compact Base Station is small in size (25 L), light weight (25 Kg) and weather
proof for outdoor installations (IP 65 compliant). It can fit in any terrain from rural,
suburban to city hotspot locations such as pole, tower top, and side wall without any
aircon or shelter.
Flexi Compact Base Station has zero footprint, enabling faster deployment for new
rollout, site expansion and modernization scenarios along with serving the growing
coverage and capacity needs of voice and data traffic. Moreover, co-siting with Flexi
Multiradio System Module helps the base station to ensure easy evolution path for
future WCDMA/LTE deployments. It supports all industry leading features and is
available in 900, 900J and 1800 MHz frequency bands.

Easy installation

Cost efficient site solution

Flexi Compact Base Station is fully outdoor capable, therefore,

it does not require a dedicated base station cabinet. It has a
broad operational temperature range and can be used in varied
climatic conditions. The installation of the base station can
be easily completed by one person. There is no need for plug
in unit installation and no inter cabinet or module cabling is
needed. Flexi Compact Base Station provides high coverage and
capacity for macro cellular applications and the same modules
can be used in indoor and outdoor sites for macro as well as
micro cellular solutions. Another highlight of the base station
is its flexibility to be installed at several sites ranging from
indoors, outdoors to wall, stack, pole, mast top and traditional
way into cabinet.

Flexi Compact Base Station minimizes site rental costs as there

is no requirement for a base station-specific cabinet. It also
reduces the floor space required for large configurations.
Minimal base station power consumption leads to direct
savings. In addition, lower power consumption allows the use
of smaller power systems with fewer batteries. Reduced need
for rectifiers and battery maintenance further contribute to the
savings. Typical power consumption for 4+4+4 configuration is
in the range of 450W.
New installation options help in installing the base stations
at places, which are better protected against vandalism and
natural catastrophes. Therefore, less shelter maintenance is
required. The base station offers a cost effective site solution
for new base station sites, especially in the growing markets.
Flexi Compact Base Station will smoothly fit into existing
sites during site modernization and mobile network evolution
resulting in lower CAPEX and OPEX.
