 Adaptable to Diversified Radio Environments

 Different combinations of functional modules and auxiliary devices
diversify the NodeB products. For example, there are macro NodeB,
distributed NodeB, and mini compact NodeB, which operate in different
scenarios to better meet different network deployment requirements.
 The 3900 series NodeBs provide a platform for the Huawei wireless
products. Specifically, the base stations of different network systems such
as GSM, WCDMA, CDMA, and WiMAX can share the same cabinet or even
share one functional module at the same frequency band (based on the
Software Definable Radio (SDR) technology), which makes it easy for
network operators to choose a site type.
 Greatly Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
 The 3900 series NodeBs have many advantages, such as flexible
installation, easy site selection, cost-effective solution, and fast network
construction. The baseband module (BBU3900) is only 19 inches wide and
2 U high, taking a very small indoor space or taking a place in an outdoor
cabinet. The RF module (RRU3900) can be installed close to the antenna
without taking any space of the equipment room.
 The RRU3804 supports up to four carriers with an output power of 60 W,
known as the highest output power of the RRU in the telecom industry.
The outstanding performance ensures wide coverage and high throughput.
When two carriers are configured for the RRU3804, the number of sites
can be reduced by 40%.
 Based on the IP switch and multi-carrier technologies, the 3900 series
NodeBs support multiple transmission ports, which keeps up with the fast
growing mobile data services and provides users with the higher data
transmission rate.

scenarios in urban, suburban, and rural areas where large-capacity coverage is
required. The DBS3900 applies to outdoor scenarios where wide coverage is
required and site construction is difficult. The BTS3900C applies to indoor
scenarios and hotspot areas. Figure shows the application scenarios of the 3900
series NodeBs.

 Distributed NodeB—DBS3900
 As there are increasing concerns about environmental protection and lease cost,
site selection has become a bottleneck in network deployment. It is increasingly
difficult to adopt 2G/3G co-siting or to select a new site.
 The distributed NodeB (DBS3900) developed by Huawei features high integration,
easy installation, and low power consumption. All these features facilitate site
reselection and 2G/3G co-siting. In addition, the RRU can be installed close to the
antenna. In this way, the feeder consumption is reduced and system coverage is
improved.
 The DBS3900 provides flexible applications for different scenarios and facilitates
fast network construction.
 Outdoor Integrated Application
 If only the AC power is available at a new outdoor 3G site and power backup
device is required, the combination of DBS3900 and APM can function as an
outdoor macro NodeB. Figure 1 shows the typical configuration of
DBS3900+APM.
 This configuration has the following features:
 The BBU3900 and transmission equipment are installed in the APM cabinet and
the RRU is installed close to the antenna.
 The APM provides installation space and outdoor protection for the BBU3900
and supplies –48 V DC power to the BBU3900 and the RRU. In addition, the APM
performs management and monitoring for batteries, and provides surge
protection for the entire cabinet.
 Embedded Application with Existing Site Equipment

wide and 2 U-high cabinet, and the RRU is installed close to the antenna, as
shown in Figure 2. The BBU3900 and the RRU share the power backup system,
transmission system, and antenna system of the BTS in the 2G network. In this
way, operators can launch 3G services on the existing 2G network at a very low
cost.
 Outdoor BBU Application
 For the 2G/3G co-siting scenario, the BBU3900 is installed in the outdoor mini
cabinet to function as an outdoor BBU, and the RRU is installed close to the
antenna, as shown in Figure 3. The outdoor BBU application facilitates easy and
quick deployment.
 Indoor Macro NodeB—BTS3900

centralized installation and relocation. The BTS3900, as one of the most
compact indoor macro NodeB products in the industry, boasts large
capacity and sound scalability. It has a small footprint and supports the
GSM, WCDMA, and LTE multi-mode application.

 Outdoor Macro NodeB—BTS3900A

 The BTS3900A is applicable to the outdoor scenarios such as centralized
installation and replacement of the outdoor macro NodeB. The BBU3900
is installed in the APM30H, and the WRFUs are installed in the outdoor RF
cabinet. The APM30H and outdoor RF cabinet are recommended to be
installed in stack mode, as shown in Figure
 As the most compact outdoor cabinet macro NodeB product in the
industry, the BTS3900A features light weight and easy transportation
thanks to its stacking design. The RF modules in GSM, UMTS, and LTE
modes can share one RF cabinet, which saves installation space and
facilitates smooth evolution.

 Outdoor Mini NodeB—BTS3900C

 The BTS3900C is applicable to the new outdoor 3G site in environments
such as tunnels, hot spots, places without equipment rooms, and edge
networks.
 For the BTS3900C, the BBU3900 is installed in the OMB, and the RRU is
installed in the RRU rack. The RRU can be the RRU3804, RRU3801E, or
RRU3801C.
 The BTS3900C supports –48 V DC power and 220 V AC power.
 If –48 V DC power is used, the mini cabinet must be configured
with a DC power distribution box, as shown in Figure 1.
 If 220 V AC power is used, the mini cabinet must be configured
with an EPS30-4815A and an SPD (AC), as shown in Figure 2.
