Tecore Networks eNodeB (eNB) provides a radio access node for 4G LTE User Equipment (UEs) connecting to a 4G LTE network. The eNB is a nodal component of the Evolved UMTS Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) and integrates seamlessly with Tecore’s 4G LTE Evolved Packet Core (EPC) over an All-IP packet data network providing a complete LTE network solution for commercial, government, and military

applications. Wireless operators are demanding greater packet data throughput on their mobile devices and applications. The Tecore eNB addresses these requirements by providing scalable bandwidth options, enhanced modulation techniques, and MIMO, allowing for more energy per bit and more bits per hertz. These enhanced techniques translate into a better quality of service, higher bit rates for packet data intensive applications,anevolutionpathforexisting2Gand3GnetworksaswellasGreenfield4GLTEnetworkdeployments.

The modular design of the eNB and small foot print provide for ease of installation and integration of the BaseBand Unit (BBU) and the Remote Radio Head (RRH) into a 4G LTE network. Call control and baseband processing functions are provided by the BBU while the RRH provides thetransmitandreceiveradiosignalfunctionsoftheeNB.TheeNButilizesfiberconnectionsbetweentheBBUandRRHwhichminimizesfeeder loss and supports a distributed architecture.

Remote Radio Head (RRH)The eNB RRH is linked to the BBU by an optical-fiber connection carrying downlinkand uplink digital radio signals along with operations, administration and maintenance (OA&M) information. The RRH has two transmit RF paths with up to 40 W RF output power per transmit path and is designed to manage up to two-way receive diversity. The device is ideally suited to support macro coverage, with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) 2x2 operation in up to 20 MHz of bandwidth.

RRH Unit Features

The RRH unit provides support for multi-sectorand1-sector/OMNIconfigurations.Itislightweight, easily installed and maintained, with a zero footprint deployment. Fiber is utilized to connect the RRH to the BBU channel control module for transport of downlink and uplink digital signals and to minimize feeder loss. Each RRH supports a single FDD and TDD 3GPP frequency band (multiple bands are supported) and provides optimized power control. The high power unit with a small form factor is convection cooled supporting power output options up to 40 watts.
