AIR32 Vs.

AIR21

Ericsson Chile - October 2016

 ERS AIR family
- benefits and characteristics
› AIR vs (R)RU
– Optimized site acquisition, deployment and tower loading
– Improved quality, link budget and radio performance
– Increased REVENUE, reduced churn and CAPEX
avoidance AIR 21

› AIR 21, 2TX 4RX

– Active: single high band, dual X-pol antenna column
– Passive: single high(2 ports)band OR single low(2 ports)
band
– Enabling 4-antenna receiver technology, implemented as
user specific UL beamforming
– Further improved UL budget and performance vs. AIR 11

› AIR 32, 4TX 4RX

– Active: single high band, dual X-pol antenna column AIR 32
– Passive: single high(4 ports) AND single low(2 ports) band
– Enabling 4-antenna receiver & transmitter technology
implemented as user specific UL and DL beamforming
– further improved DL performance vs AIR 21
