1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
With the multi-mode

mode era coming, ZTE, who is dedicated to providing
provid comprehensive
network solutions and delivering
deliver the future-oriented
oriented quality network for the operators,
developed the ground breaking SDR unified platform with
th the essential feature to support
multi-mode and multi-band
multi radio access.
Based on this innovative

innovat SDR platform, ZTE promotes a series of products to satisfy
different scenario requirements, including the indoor
ndoor macro, outdoor macro, distributed,
d
outdoor micro, mini
ini and pico base station.
The SDR-based serial

seri products aim to design a unified network which can bring
seamless experience to operators. In GSM, UMTS, LTE or mixed mode, it enables
operators to save CAPEX and OPEX significantly for they only need to deploy a
Uni-Radio
Radio Access Network (RAN), compared with the costs involved with independent
GSM and UMTS networks.
networks
To comply with the further requirements for lower power consumption, smaller space
occupation and higher
high performance of products from operators,, ZTE released the magic
series of RRUs, the new generation of SDR RRUs. Four types of RRUs,
RR 1T2R ZXSDR
R8861, 2T2R ZXSDR R8862, 2T4R ZXSDR R8862A and 3T6R ZXSDR R8863 are
included in the series.
series In this document, R8861 is introduced.
ZXSDR R8861 (here

hereinafter referred to as R8861) is the latest ZTE outdoor remote RF
unit (RRU) with one transmitter.
transmitter It supports GSM, UMTS
S and LTE communication
systems and features portable structure, high output
output power and easy installation. Based
on ZTE new generation RRU platform,
platform R8861 can work in GSM, UMTS or LTE single
mode, or GSM/UMTS/LTE multi-mode in the same frequency band.

1.2 Benefits
By inheriting SDR structure and introducing new technologies, R8861 has only half the
volume and higher power efficiency of R8881, the previous generation of 1T2R RRU.
The following part lists
list the key benefits for operators.
The smallest size in the industry
R8861,, the smallest 1T2R RRU of 80W output power in industry, is less than 10L in
volume and only 12 kg in weight. The light and compact design enables it to be
easily carried and installed. The
e load bearing requirement for the tower or wall is
lower than other equipments.
Green RRU with lower power consumption
R8861’s improvement in materials and design of structure and modules, results in

higher PA efficiency and lower power consumption than
than R8881. The remarkable
decrease in power consumption effectively reduces the expenditure of power
supply equipment such as battery, and electric charges.
Faster deployment
Compared with last generation product of R8881, R8861 is more easily to be

installed
d and commissioned. With only half of the volume, R8861 is lighter and
convenient to be managed.. There are fewer interfaces in R8861 without loss in the
functions. With unified mounting kits, the entire installation process of R8861
requires less than five minutes. All these improvements lead to fast deployment of
the equipments, shortened operation and maintenance duration and measurable
reduction of expenditures.
1.3 Application Scenarios
R8861 and one base band unit

u (BBU)
BBU) form a complete BTS/NodeB.
BTS/NodeB It implements radio
transmission in the covered area, controls
control radio channels and communicates with the
Base Station Controller (BSC/RNC). It supports indoor and outdoor applications.
