The IPWireless™ The Outdoor Single Sector Node B base station is a low-cost unit designed in a small, fully environmental form-factor, suitable for deployment in either typical cellular sectored macro cells or indoor/outdoor micro cells.

Sectored Cellular Configuration:

• Can be deployed outdoors in 3- or 6- sectored macro cell configurations or in standalone micro cell configurations
• Up to 12 Node B’s are configured with sectored directional antennas and are controlled by an Integrated Network Controller
• Typically mounted on top of building, at a cellular tower, or wall mounted as a microcell

High Capacity Rack Mount Node B

The IPWireless™ High-Capacity Rack Mount Node B uses a standard 19 inch rack configuration to support 3 sectors with 3 Base-band shelves. The Rack Mounted Node Bs additionally support Transmit Diversity and a high power Power Amplifier to support an increased coverage area and higher data-rates at cell edges.

Low Capacity Rack Mount Node B

The Low-Capacity Rack Mount Node Butilizes a single Base-band shelf to support 3 Radio Shelves allowing operators to lower their initial capital expenditure and maximize their coverage. An operator can modularly add new base-band shelves once they are successful adding subscribers in the market. This Node B includes:

• Control for 3 RF Tx Diversity Transmitters (Tx diversity optional)
• 6 Way Maximal Ratio Combiner on Receiver

A Low-Capacity rack mount unit can ‘grow’ to a full High-Capacity rack mount unit simply by adding 2 additional base-band shelves to the existing rack mount shelves and connecting the units up to the existing RF shelves as required via the 6 way combiner. This gives the operator the ability to grow capacity as required:

• 1 Base-band shelf = 12 Mbps peak throughput
• 2 Base-band shelves = 24 Mbps peak throughput
• 3 Base-band shelves = 36 Mbps peak throughput
