Flexible Topologies and Smooth
Evolution
 The BSC6900 can be flexibly configured as a BSC6900
GSM, BSC6900 UMTS, or BSC6900 GU; therefore, it is
applicable to various networking scenarios.

 The BSC6900 can be configured as one of the three


variants, therefore facilitating the smooth evolution between
GSM, GSM&UMTS, and UMTS.

 The functions of the BSC6900 boards can be set online to


dynamically adjust the capacity allocation between the GSM
network and the UMTS network.
