Nova430i Outdoor Base Station

The Baicells Nova430i 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, Nova430i supports 2CC (2 component carriers) DL/UL CA. 2CC DL/UL CA doubles DL/UL peak throughput comparing to that of a single carrier. By aggregating 2 separated spectrum resources into a virtual contiguous spectrum resource. In DC mode, each carrier is treated as an independent cell, supporting 128+128 users with each cell supporting 5, 10, 15, or 20 MHz bandwidth. Using a Nova430i in DC mode simplifies and streamlines the deployment of split sectors.

In addition, HaloB (an embedded EPC option) is available on the Nova430i 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.
