Foreword
 BTS3900, indoor macro base station, is the fourth
generation base station developed by Huawei. It features a
multi-mode modular design and supports three working
modes: GSM mode (GO), GSM+UMTS dual mode (GU),
and UMTS mode (UO) through configuration of different
hardware and software. In addition, the BTS3900 supports
smooth evolution to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system

BTS3900 Features
 High Capacity:
 When working in GSM mode, a single BBU supports the maximum cell
configuration of S24/24/24. One MRFU supports a maximum of 6 GSM TRX
based on the multi-carrier base station (Class2) in 3GPP TS 45.005 V8.2.0
 When working in GSM+UMTS dual mode, a BBU supports the maximum cell
configuration of GSM S24/24/24 + UMTS S8/8/8. One MRFU supports a
maximum of 6 GSM+UMTS carriers based on the multi-carrier base station
(Class2) in 3GPP TS 45.005 V8.2.0
 When working in UMTS mode, a BBU supports 24 cells, 1,536 CEs in the
uplink, and 1,536 CEs in the downlink. One MRFU supports a maximum of 4
UMTS carriers
DBS3900 Features (Cont.)
 Investment Saving:
 Networks working in different modes can share E1 transmission resources, the
panels can be connected to share IP transmission resources, and transmission
resources can also be shared in IP over E1
 When the GSM network uses E1/T1 transport and UMTS uses IP transport,
the UMTS network can use the GSM clock, thus implementing clock source
sharing without additional GPS equipment or clock server
 High Reliability:
 The ring topology between the BBU and the MRFU can be configured. In this
way, a backup channel is provided, and thus network reliability is enhanced
 The baseband processing board supports the resource pool design
