Summary

 

The ambition

Evolve Babilon-Mobile’s GSM/UTMS/HSPA network and extend high-speed internet to more citizens.

The constraint

Mountainous terrain, a dispersed rural population, rising hardware costs and limited infrastructure slowed expansion.

The answer

Rapidly deploy compact Nova249 LTE eNodeBs with flexible backhaul, optional HaloD and centralized OMC operations.

 

Inside the Deployment

Challenging terrain and rural communities across Tajikistan need reliable high-speed internet access.

02-nova249-compact-lte-radio-4x

Nova249 compact LTE radio installed on the tower for fast, simple deployment and lower site footprint.

03-field-engineer-site-commissioning-4x

Field engineer commissioning the site with streamlined processes and flexible backhaul options.

04-omc-central-network-operations-4x

Network operator monitoring and managing LTE sites centrally through the Baicells OMC platform.

Key Capabilities

Three-Day Site Delivery

Streamlined planning, installation and commissioning to get sites up quickly.

Flexible Backhaul

Supports public broadband, IPRAN, PTN, GPON, microwave and satellite backhaul.

Compact Integrated BBU/RRU

Integrated design reduces lab setup and tower footprint for easier deployments.

Optional HaloD Simplification

Chain three FDD eNodeBs so the OMC and EPC recognize them as one cell using one IP address and one backhaul cable.

Why It Worked for Babilon-Mobile

1. Nova249 was selected as the primary radio for easy deployment, integration and operation.

2. The radio supports public broadband, IPRAN, PTN, GPON, microwave and satellite backhaul.

3. Integrated BBU and RRU reduced lab setup and tower footprint.

4. Deployments used single-sector, butterfly two-sector and three-sector configurations.

5. Optional HaloD can chain three FDD eNodeBs so the OMC and EPC recognize them as one cell using one IP address and one backhaul cable.

6. Baicells OMC provides web-based monitoring, alarms and performance reports.
