Expanding capacity

A new generation of CDMA, GSM, and TDMA base-station solutions can allow a wireless carrier to deploy affordable and highly flexible capacity where and when it is most needed. By employing fiber to connect the digital enclosure to the radio enclosure, new base stations eliminate signal loss, thus reducing installation costs for indoor and outdoor configurations and conserving bandwidth for future requirements. High-capacity base stations provide flexible sectorization schemes using up to 6 available sectors. Currently, there are 2 main CDMA multicarrier network approaches - one assigns calls based on the originating call's MIN, while the other uses highly evolved software to optimize all available frequencies. GSM providers are deploying capacity-oriented base stations that provide exceptional RF performance, improved transmission capabilities, and highly optimized modular packaging. In crowded urban environments, TDMA carriers need to deploy a new generation of dual-mode base-station solutions that deliver maximum flexibility and higher capacity.
