1.2 Benefits
Simple Structure and Quick Network Construction
The BTS3900B is 2 L in volume and 1.5 kg in weight, one of the smallest pico BTS ever developed in the industry. No dedicated equipment room is required for the BTS3900B, and it can be easily installed by one person with few common tools. The compact and integrated design of the BTS3900B facilitates installation, removal, and fast deployment. The BTS3900B supports automatic data configuration, and automatic frequency configuration, enabling the provision of services in a short time.

Flexible Applications with IP Transport

The BTS3900B supports the IP transport and IPSec protocol, ensuring the data security during the transmission. Adopting the IP transport, the BTS3900B can fully use the existing IP network resources, reducing the transmission cost significantly. The BTS3900B can easily access the IP network, facilitating flexible applications. The BTS3900B can provide private coverage for SMEs and small office buildings. It can also work with the existing indoor coverage networks, improving the indoor coverage in places such as malls, buildings, and parking lots. This enriches the GSM network solutions.

Energy-Saving and Green Communication Design

The low power consumption design and natural heat dissipation mode enable the BTS3900B to work in energy saving and mute mode. The maximum power consumption of the BTS3900B in dual-carrier configuration is only 32 W. The BTS3900B supports a wide range of AC input voltage from 90 V AC to 264 V AC. Therefore, the normal AC power can be supplied to the BTS3900B for flexible deployment. The BTS3900B can also work in Power over Ethernet (PoE) mode. Through the Ethernet cable, the BTS3900B can obtain power from the PoE power equipment. In PoE mode, the BTS3900B supports a maximum of one carrier, and the Ethernet cable supports a maximum distance of 100 m.The BTS3900B works in mute mode. Therefore, the indoor BTS3900B does not affect the life and work of people, facilitating flexible site selections.

Smooth Evolution and CAPEX Saving

In indoor applications, data services are rapidly developed. The BTS3900B supports the GPRS and EDGE packet services and smooth evolution to the EDGE+, thus providing higher data rates. During the BTS3900B evolution, only the software upgrade. In this case, the CAPEX is saved.

2.1 Overview
T

Architecture

The BTS3900B adopts highly integrated design. The functions such as transmission, main control, baseband processing, RF processing, and power amplifying of the traditional BTS are all integrated in the BTS3900B.

2.2 Components
The main components of the BTS3900B consist of the baseband processing board, RF module, and plastic housing. The baseband processing board processes baseband signals and implements main control and transmission functions, and the RF module transmits, receives, and processes RF signals. If AC power supply is used, the power adapter is required for the BTS3900B. The power adapter converts the AC power into the working voltage of the BTS3900B. If the PoE mode is adopted, external PoE power equipment must be configured. The PoE power equipment supplies power to the BTS3900B through the Ethernet cable. In this case, the power adapter is not required. The BTS3900B can be employed with built-in antennas or external antennas. Figure 2-1 shows the BTS3900B with external antennas and BTS3900B with built-in antennas.

Indoor Coverage
Along with the development of cities, the indoor mobile application has become widespread. For indoor coverage scenarios, however, operators are facing great challenges from the perspective of site selection and construction speed. If macro BTSs are used to serve indoor coverage, operators are frequently confronted with high lease cost of equipment rooms, and the noises generated by macro BTSs make site acquisition even more difficult. Therefore, operators are pressing for a BTS that places the equipment room in dispensable and generates low noises. In indoor coverage scenarios, the BTS may be installed in locations such as the light-current shaft, or storeroom. Such locations present complicated environment, confined installation space, and highly difficult installation, which requires the BTS compact, light, and possessed with strong environment adaptability. Attributing to its compact structure, zero-noise design, and marvelous performance, the BTS3900E aids operators in constructing an indoor network with high capacity and good coverage. Such network, without doubt, brings more benefits for operators. As a signal source, the BTS3900E, combined with the DAS, can be widely applied in indoor coverage scenarios that require high capacity and quality, such as hotels, office buildings, supermarkets, and business centers. Figure 3-2 shows one of the application scenarios. Figure 3-2 Typical application scenario
