Modular design

The system can be expanded smoothly by means of adding

modules

Multiple system clock source configurations

The clock source can be obtained from a Building ntegrated Timing

Supply System (BTS), u interface, satellite synchronization clock
signal received by the satellite receiver, or local oscillator.

Multiple networking modes

The BSC6800 supports star, chain and tree networking with the
NodeBs

Service-oriented hardware configuration

The system can be configured according to different requirements

on voice and data services in different phases of network
construction.
