Technical Features
ZXSDR BS8800 GU360 (hereafter BS8800) is one of multi-carrier,
multi-mode indoor macro base station in ZXSDR BTS series. By
applying advanced MicroTCA platform and SDR technology, BS8800
can directly support GPRS/ EDGE/ Enhanced EDGE/ UMTS/ HSPA
and HSPA+ simultaneously.
Its main advantage is that can be configured to a GERAN BTS, or a
UTRAN Node B, or a G/W dual-mode BTS by software
reconfiguration only and no required to add any hardware.

BS8800 can be applied in dense urban, urban, suburban, rural area,

highway or indoor environment and can fully meet operators
requirements in different stages and scenarios.

Cable Installation Specification

Certain specifications of handling the cables during installation
should be followed. This ensures the proper running of ZXSDR
B8200 GU360 and also minimizes the risk of frequent
maintenance of the cables. The specifications are:
z

Cables layout should be neat and tidy.

Power cables should be laid down separate and away from

other cables. A distance of 200 mm should be maintained
between power cables and rest of cables.

The binding gaps between cables should be more than 1.5 m

to avoid cable damage that may result from shaking of cables.

Folding of fiber cable at 90 should be strictly avoided. For

fiber cable that is laid outdoors, minimal twist radius should
be greater than 90 mm. Whereas for fiber cable laid indoor,
minimal radius should be greater than 30 mm

Contd..

After installation, any surplus fiber cable should be put

back in the fiber card for convenience.

During installation minimize fiber cable twist and turn as

much as possible. Avoid dragging of the optical fiber. The
binding force should be proper to ensure that binding gaps
are less 0.5m.

Make sure that labels on the both ends of fiber cable are
intact, clear and correct.
