TB3hp mini
TETRA base station
Small and smart with more power
The TB3hp mini TETRA base
station from Airbus is the
world’s smallest high power
TETRA base station.
Use the TB3hp for
• rapidly deployable networks
• wide area coverage
• standalone use
• setting up temporary radio
coverage over an area.
The TB3hp mini TETRA base station
is an optimal choice to extend radio
communication services over a wide
area when high capacity is not
needed.
The TB3hp can provide wide area
coverage with a variety of antenna
configurations, because
• TB3hp achieves high output power
(15W) to the antenna
• TB3hp is extremely sensitive
• TB3hp implements Rx diversity.
 
The TB3hp has extremely small
carbon footprint compared to a
macro base station.
The miniaturization of the base station
has not been at the cost of features.
The TB3hp offers exactly the same
powerful features as its big brother
TB3, from data to air interface
encryption and from type 1 handover
to base station fallback.
