ZXUR 9000 Configuration Principle and Highlight

Configuration Principle
3-layer shelf, main shelf is preferred for the lower layer. Every shelf is composed of front and rear plug-in shelf, with 14 board slots for each. UMP is fixed in No. 5-8 slot in front plug-in shelf; EGBS and EGFS fixed in No. 19-22 slots in rear plug-in shelf; interface board is configured in rear plug-in shelf, while USP and ETCB in front plug-in shelf, and no slot limitation for these boards. The configuration of processing boards depends on traffic model and have several limitations for each board need to be considered and calculated.

Highlight

Almost non-limitation on slot design, easy to expand. Flexible and easy configuration for conversion between GSM and UMTS modes.

Any idle slot is available, high shelf utilization.
