Description:

The 4G Base Transceiver Station (BTS) card is a highly integrated single-width, full-height Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) based on the picoChip physical layer processor and the Wintega layer 2 processor. The card provides a hardware platform designed to support software defined 4G BTS functionality and is specifically designed to support both LTE and WiMAX radio access network standards.

The card is compliant with Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) and supports two front panel 1 GigE Transport connections and two front panel RP3-01 connections to Remote Radio Heads (RRH).

A GPS receiver is integrated into the card to provide BTS synchronization enabling the creation of a complete single sector BTS based on this card alone. The card can be used in single or multiple sector non-redundant or redundant configurations of up to 8 sectors with N+1 sparing for the baseband functionality and 1+1 sparing for the Clock, Control and Transport functionalities.
