Node B and RNC basic functionalities

Node B is equivalent to BTS in 2G
Node B configurations/capacity are defined by 3 variables
Transmit power (20W/40W)
Carriers (1+1+1/2+2+2/3+3+3/4+4+4)
Channel Elements (call processing capacity)

OBSAI-interface in Node B enables future towards open architecture

and WiMax , WiFi
RNC is equivalent to BSC+Transcoder in 2G
RNC capacity is defined by Mbps processing capacity (both CS and
PS)

Summary
3G is a welcome evolution to 2G and has established itself
3G is a tool to increase revenue
Nokia is a key player in 3G market
Nokias end-to end network and service offering for operators
