Wide application range

For outdoor and indoor micro-cell applications, also SW tunable to

indoor pico-cell application High site availability and easy installation due to small size

Savings in CAPEX

Lower site cost with small cell optimized capacity & output power

Smaller & lighter BTS means savings in site & infrastructure costs

Savings in OPEX

New possibilities for sites will bring savings in site rental cost

Lower power & capacity means also lower power consumption

Lowest transport costs through integrated IP transport capabilities
