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
