Nova846 Outdoor Base Station

The Baicells Nova846 is an advanced multiple-carrier outdoor eNodeB (eNB) compliant with 3GPP LTE TDD technology. This 8x5W eNB operates in Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode, Dual Carrier (DC) mode or Triple Carrier (TC) mode.

In CA mode, Nova846 supports 2CC (2 component carriers) DL/UL CA. 2CC DL/UL CA doubles DL/UL peak throughput comparing to that of a single carrier by aggregating 2 separated spectrum resources into a virtual contiguous spectrum resource. In DC mode, each carrier is treated as an independent cell, supporting 2x512 users with each cell supporting 5, 10, 15, or 20 MHz bandwidth. Similarly, in TC mode, it supports 3x512 users*. Using a Nova846 in DC or TC 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.

This product comes with a standard one-year warranty; an extended warranty is available.
