System Module
The Flexi Multiradio GSM/EDGE System Module provides baseband capacity for 18 or 36
GSM/EDGE TRXs depending on the version (ESMB or ESMC respectively).
Each radio module branch supports up to 6 GSM/EDGE TRXs.
Flexi Multiradio BTS are Flexi Mul-tiradio System Module (ESMB/C), RF Module (FXxx)

The main functions of the ESMB/C are:

• GSM/EDGE BTS Operation and Maintenance
• Abis interfacing
• Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) connectivity
• Power distribution to other modules
• GSM/EDGE baseband
• BTS synchronization

External and internal interfaces in ESMB/C are:

• 48V DC distribution, 4 outputs and 1 Auxiliary output (5 PWR)
• Abis interface (Transmision)
• External Alarm and Control Interface
• 4 optical interfaces (OBSAI RP3-1)  Kết nối với khối RF (4 Optical RP3 port): mỗi
RF module cần 1 Optical RP3 để kết nối.
• Auxiliary equipment interfaces
• Q1
 • Flexi Power Alarms (FPA)
• Local Management Port (LMP)

2. RF Module
 3-branch radio transceiver, One transmitter and receiver (one branch) can create one sector
 It is possible to chain up to 3 radio modules with OBSAI RP3-1
 90 W RF Module variants have fixed full band filters

 External and internal interfaces in FXxx are:

 48V DC input
 External Alarm interface compatible with FPA
 3 optical interfaces (OBSAI RP3-1)
 6 Antenna interfaces - 3 duplexed and 3 RX diversity  3 cặp
 Integrated DC line OVP, Class II rated to 5kA pulse (FXFB, 90 W RF Module
variants)
 Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) support (FXFB, 90 W RF Module variants)?
