Developed on the basis of customer-oriented innovation, Huawei presents the 4th Generation BTS, featuring convergence of multiple radio access technologies (RATs), multiple carriers on one radio carrier (RC), green optimization, and all IP. Huawei is the first vendor to initiate a convergent network solution where all the RATs can be applied to a single type of BTS. In turn, Huawei's SingleRAN Solution, another industry first, provides a uniquely convergent solution for all foreseeable primary network needs.
Multiple RATs Convergence & Smooth Evolution
- Based on the unified platform and modularized RF unit, Huawei's 4th generation BTS achieves convergence of all radio access networks into a single RAN. RF modules of different RATs can also be installed in the same BTS cabinet. Huawei's resident modularized RF permits service switchover between GSM, UMTS, and LTE.
- Co-transmission and unified Network Management between GSM and UMTS.
- All modules are LTE/HSPA+ hardware ready.
- The 4th Generation BTS introduces the simplicity of a modular structure. Through flexible combination of the baseband unit, RF units, and auxiliary devices, various applications (such as the macro BTS, DBS, or hybrid site solution) can be implemented through a single BTS.
Multi-carrier Capabilities with High Integration
- Huawei is the first manufacturer in the industry to present an RF module supporting multiple GSM/UMTS carriers (six GSM carriers or four UMTS carriers).
- The footprint of a single Huawei 4th generation BTS embraces six times the capacity of a traditional double-carrier BTS cabinet.
- Carriers can be assigned to different telecom operators. A single cabinet can implement RAN sharing.
Green Design and High Efficiency
-
Through the overall power saving technique, 80% of power consumption is saved across the BTS and auxiliary equipment. High-performance ASIC is used to reduce the power consumption of the circuit. An advanced power amplification technique is used to increase efficiency and decrease overall energy loss. The working temperature range of the new BTS is extended. Air conditioning demands and related power consumption are reduced
- Compact equipment and small footprint facilitate easier network deployment. The multi-carrier ability enhances equipment integration and further reduces equipment room space requirements.Alternate energy sources can be applied, including wind or solar.
