1 Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
Based on this innovative SDR platform, ZTE promotes a series of base stations to
satisfy different scenario requirements, including Indoor Macro, Outdoor Macro,
Distributed, Outdoor Micro, and Mini BTS.
These SDR-based serial base stations aim to design a unified network which can
bring seamless experience to operators. In GSM, UMTS or mixed mode, it enables
operators to save CAPEX and OPEX significantly because they only need to
deploy a Uni-Radio Access Network, compared to the independent GSM and UMTS
networks.
ZXSDR BS8900A is one outdoor macro BTS, providing an all in one solution for
power supply, battery, and transmission integration. It offers GSM/UMTS
dual-mode networking capability and provides a future-proof solution for smooth
evolution to Enhanced EDGE, HSPA+ and LTE. BS8900A’s appearance is shown in
Figure 1-1. In the following chapters, a general description will be given to ZXSDR
BS8900A (hereafter referred as “BS8900A”).
1.2 Benefits
Four basic cabinets of BS8900A can be combined flexibly to cater for different
