BASEBAND PROCESSINGINTEGRATED AND FULLY PROGRAMMABLE

• Employs “system-on-a-chip” design SoC supports 2G, 3G and 4G processing

• Deployment Flexibility and Investment Protection Conventional, clustering, or pooling

• Stepwise evolution toward pooling Step 1: “clustering” No BBUs at BTS site – fewer truck rolls

Step 2: “pooling” load balancing saves up to 15% processing
