ZTE's GSM/UMTS products focus on network convergence, smooth evolution and energy savings on the macro perspective as well as network coverage, network capacity and service innovation on the micro perspective. ZTE leads in industry HSPA R&D progress and has acquired great achievements.
The Era of Multi-Mode/Frequency Networking: ZTE Uni-RAN Solution:
SDR-based Uni-RAN provides an industry leading solution that meets all foreseeable primary needs to efficiently protect investment and fulfill requirements on new technologies and high data services with cutting-down TCO.
ZTE SDR Four Key Features:
MCPA-based broadband Radio Unit with multi-mode supported;
Sufficient output power of HPA with lower power consumption;
MicroTCA structure Base Band Unit with high reliability and easy expansion;
High integrity & processing capability, upgrade to HSPA+ via software, minimum upgrade cost to support LTE.
Cost Effective Solution
Reduce Site Number:
Large Capacity means Less Site Number. ZTE Uni-RAN solution can be software defined to support different technologies and highlighted in huge capacity. RX sensitivity is 1.5 dB higher than industry level with 10% larger radium and 20% larger coverage. RRU can be remotely deployed near the antenna and loss of signal can be reduced, thereby reducing site number and auxiliary investment.
Long Term OPEX Savings:
SDR base station adopts high PA technology and achieves 50% PA efficiency and is equipped with intelligent energy-saving and natural cooling techniques. It also supports full-IP network, greatly increasing network flexibility and reducing transmission rental costs. Less sites and racks means less costs in purchasing, spare parts and maintenance. Low Power Consumption, IP Networking, and Transmission Saving & Simple Network all contribute to long term OPEX savings.
Easy Deployment:
SDR-based DBS supports flexible installation. BBU can be installed in racks or on the wall. RRU can be deployed on the wall, top of towers, or on poles. ZTE's new RRU supports three sectors within one RRU for a two-thirds savings in installation space can, compared to conventional DBS.
Compact Design
Flexible Installation
Smooth Evolution Path
SDR base station supports EDGE+ and HSPA+ with software upgrades, and supports LTE technology by adding LTE baseband board and related RRU module, greatly reducing additional investments while protecting existing investments.
