Something for the start…. BTS/Site view
· What are the biggest possible selling points and opportunities in the next future
for your operator
· What will be the big pain points of your operator in the next years to come
And some feedback we get from SSM´s:

· Current Customer perception is that both Huawei and E// ahead of NSN in
terms technology
· - on 2G situation is not that bad, but still Huawei is promoting the combined
BSC/RNC and the ease to SW-upgrade from 2G to 3G
· Flexi BTS power consumption both for 2G and 3G is much higher than Huawei,
E//
· Handset and Infrastructure Vendor roadmaps are not aligned

· NSN/Nokia - promoting ‘CS voice over HSPA’
· Ericsson/Qualcomm - promoting ‘VoIP over HSPA’
· Huawei - whatever the operator wants

Co-siting of Flexi Multiradio and UltraSite EDGE BTS
• Flexi Multiradio BTS can be used as an
extension for UltraSite EDGE BTS
• TRXs from both cabinets can be combined:
– in the same sector or
– TRX can be re-divided between sectors so that
Flexi EDGE BTS TRX are in one sector.
– For this, BTSs are synchronized for seamless co-
siting
• UltraSite EDGE and Flexi BTS can share
existing antennas and feeders, existing site
support and existing transmission

(SW support required, but very unlikely use case in networks,
but one customer requires)

BBU 3900 - Base Band installation frame, ID only,
compared to Flexi system module
l The
BBU 3900 WCDMA card supports HSPA+ Phase 1 (downlink 64QAM and MIMO 2x2).
l The BBU supports HSPA+ Phase 2 (uplink 16QAM) by adding baseband processing boards.
l The BBU supports LTE by adding baseband processing boards.
The RRU and WRFU have ready hardware for the HSPA+ and LTE.
Installation:
the BBU 3900 frame always requires either additional rack (ID) or additional IP protected CABINET.

SW Upgradeable HW brings you real savings
AND PROTECTS the investment

INVESTMENT Protection: NSN supports flexible usage of BB processors between technologies –

Huawei is following a heavy HW depending path – NO REUSE of BB processors if shift in capacity
• Baseband capacity can be efficiently added for the most processing power hungry

The Flexi Multiradio BTS
3 building blocks
RF Module/RRH The most cost
and size
e.g. Multiradio RF Module:
optimized
• Single Band/ 3 sectors with only 1 unit 3-sector site
• 60W(@antenna connector)/sector with 1 module
• 120W per sector with 2 Modules (e.g. Mimo)
• GSM/EDGE /WCDMA/LTE operation defined by SW
High Capacity WCDMA/LTE System Module

• Up to 750 channel elements in one Module
• Up to 3000 channel elements for WCDMA/LTE site
• Multiband operation
• OBSAI interface to Multiradio RF Module/RRH
• Dedicated and Concurrent mode WCDMA/LTE
RF Module
High Capacity Flexi EDGE System Module
• 36 TRX hardware capacity
• Multiband operation
• OBSAI interface to Multiradio RF Module/RRH
• HW performance optimized for GSM/EDGE
