Macro Radio Unit 8T8R
Macro Radio Unit
Macro RU 8T8R combines the power of vRAN and open standards to integrate with any BBU based on O-RAN fronthaul interface. It is fully compliant with 3GPP standards and based O-RAN specifications (7.2x split, Cat A). It is dual-carrier macro-RU based on n78 band ranging from 3.3 GHz to 3.67 GHz and radiates 40W per RRU port. It is built with state-of-the-art new-age technology to seamlessly support Enhanced Mobile Broad Band (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) and Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) services.
Applications
- Outdoor 5G coverage in Urban, Suburban and Rural areas
- Addresses capacity requirements in dense urban areas and hot spots
- Last mile access for FWA CPE (Fixed Wireless Access CPE)
- Works as an active unit of Distributed Antenna System (DAS)
- Provide coverage in Tunnels, Underpass and Mines
- Supports nomadic use cases like CoW (Cells on Wheels)
Salient Features
- Disaggregated, open interfaces supporting multi-vendor BBU integration
- Supports digital beam formation with excellent steering capability
- Can be configured as 2x4T4R and 4x2T2R to serve multiple sectors
- Supports multiple deployment scenarios and all 5G use cases (eMBB, URLLC &mMTC)
- Supports all channel bandwidth options up to 100 MHz (as per 3GPP) and SCS of 30 KHz
- Zero Touch Provisioning and Netconf/Yang support for automated operations
- Lightweight and compact dimension
