Description
The Baicells Nova846 is an advanced two-carrier outdoor eNodeB (eNB) that is compliant with 3GPP LTE TDD technology. This 8x5W eNB is capable of operating in Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode or Dual Carrier (DC)/split mode.
In CA mode, Nova846 supports 2CC (2 Component Carriers) DL/UL CA. 2CC DL/UL CA doubles DL/UL peak throughput compared to a single carrier by aggregating two separate spectrum resources into a virtual contiguous spectrum resource.
In DC mode, each carrier is treated as an independent cell, supporting 2×512 users with each cell supporting 5, 10, 15, or 20 MHz bandwidth. Using a Nova846 in DC mode simplifies and streamlines the deployment of split sectors.
In addition, HaloB (an embedded EPC option) is available on the Nova846 as part of the base software. The Baicells patented HaloB solution migrates the necessary core network functions to the eNB.
The product comes with a standard one-year warranty; extended warranty is available.
