INTRODUCTION

ERICSSON 6601

Product Overview

The RBS 6601 is a main-remote RBS and

a member of the RBS 6000 family.
The RBS 6601 consists of an indoor main
unit and a number of RRUs designed
to be located near the antenna. An
optical fiber cable connects each RRU to
the main unit, as shown in Figure 1. The
maximum length of the optical fiber
connecting the main unit and an RRU is
40 km.

The RBS can be configured for up to

three sectors with four carriers for
each
sector or for up to six sectors with
two carriers for each sector. The
number
of RRUs supported depends on the
available radio configurations. The
configurations currently available are
described in RBS Configurations.

Main Features

The main features of the RBS 6601

are the following:
Includes a subrack based main unit
to be hosted in a 19-inch rack
structure,
either an existing RBS or other
standard racks
Has 48 V DC (two-wire) power
supply
Supports external Global Positioning
System (GPS)
Supports integrated external alarms

Optional Equipment

The equipment presented in this section

is optional and can be ordered
separately. It is not necessary for basic
RBS functions.
The equipment is located outside the
RBS.
External SAU The Support Alarm Unit
(SAU) is an alarm and connection unit
that is externally
installed in a distribution frame that also
includes Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
for external alarms and transmission

ASC, TMA, RETU, and RIU

The following mast- located units are
placed close to the antenna:
Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA)
Antenna System Controller (ASC)
Remote Electrical Tilt Unit (RETU)
RET Interface Unit (RIU)
The TMA and the ASC are uplink
amplifiers and improve the RX sensitivity.
The RETU enables remote tilt of the
antenna system. A RETU can be
connected directly to an RRU or through
an ASC or an RIU.

Site Layout

The main unit can be installed in freestanding racks or cabinets, without

contact with other cabinets, against a wall or
back to back or side to side with
other cabinets. Information regarding
placement of cabinets can be found in
the manual for the cabinet.
A minimum distance of 200 mm must be left
between the top of the rack and
the cable ladder and a minimum distance of
300 mm between the ceiling and
the cable ladder is required to provide
adequate working space and to ensure
sufficient airflow
