The world’s most deployed picocell
nanoGSM® EDGE 900 and 850 Picocells
The nanoBTS picocells are
complete GSM base stations which,
as part of the nanoGSM system,
use the standard Um interface to
support all GSM handsets, and an
Abis interface carried over IP for low
cost backhaul.
Unlike repeaters, each nanoGSM
picocell actually adds capacity to
your network while avoiding cell
distortion and interference issues,
solving handover, and integrating
with existing network management
systems. nanoGSM reduces capex
with low-cost base stations and
reduces opex with simple,
straightforward IP backhaul. It’s
driving down the cost of adding
coverage and capacity for operators
all over the world.
EDGE support gives up to three
times the data rate of standard
GPRS. In addition, using half rate
AMR means that each nanoBTS
can provide up to 7.3 Erlangs -
enough to support over 300 users
with a 20 mErlang traffic profile.
The nanoGSM system is a proven, end-to-end solution carrying billions of minutes of traffic every year, all over the world.
The nanoGSM EDGE 900 and 850
models provide the full 20dBm
output power allowed for picocells
from their integral antennas. giving
an indoor range of up to 200m.
They also have the full benefits of
the existing nanoBTS picocell range
including:
— Low-cost IP backhaul
— Simple deployment – using a nanoBTS EDGE/AMR
single Ethernet connection for
power, traffic and signaling.
— Network Listen™ to supplement
RF planning, allowing planners to
see into the difficult indoor
environment to optimize coverage
Fast, low-cost capacity & coverage for
and avoid interference issues. hard-to-reach places. In-building / remote
areas / Marine & Aviation / public spaces.
The bottom line Low-cost – IP backhaul instead of
expensive T1/E1
nanoGSM is the fastest, most cost- High-speed – supporting GSM, GPRS
effective way to add capacity and and EDGE
coverage to the hardest-to-reach Flexible – fast, easy deployment
parts of your GSM network, Simple – integrates easily with the
core network
especially in buildings. Proven – no cell distortion,
interference or handover
Our partners have created added- problems
value solutions around nanoGSM to
take the benefits to remote rural
areas and special situations
including marine, aviation and
outdoor public spaces.
