Nova430e Outdoor Base Station

The Baicells Nova430e is an advanced two-carrier outdoor eNodeB (eNB) compliant with 3GPP LTE TDD technology. This 4x250mW eNB operates in Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode or Dual Carrier (DC) mode.

In CA mode, Nova430e supports 2CC (two Component Carriers) DL/UL CA. 2CC DL/UL CA doubles DL/UL peak throughput compared to a single carrier by aggregating two separate spectrum resources into a virtual contiguous spectrum resource.

In DC mode, each carrier is treated as an independent cell, supporting 96+96 users with each cell supporting 5, 10, 15, or 20 MHz bandwidth. Using a Nova430e in DC mode simplifies and streamlines the deployment of split sectors.

In addition, HaloB (an embedded EPC option) is available on the Nova430e as part of the base software. The Baicells patented HaloB solution migrates the necessary core network functions to the eNB.

This product comes with a standard one-year warranty; an extended warranty is available.
