Quick Guide
Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
Baicells Nova430i is an advanced two-carrier outdoor eNodeB based on LTE
TDD technology, which is developed by Baicells. It is capable of operating in
Carrier Aggregation (CA) or Dual Carrier (DC) mode. In CA mode, contiguous or
non-contiguous channels are aggregated to provide up to 40 MHz bandwidth. This
essentially doubles the downlink capacity when the CA 430i is used with all
CAT6/7 user equipment. In DC mode, each carrier is treated as an independent
cell, supporting 96+96 users, and each supporting 5, 10, 15, or 20 MHz
bandwidth. Using a Nova430i in DC mode simplifies and streamlines the
deployment of split sectors. In addition to having the option to operate
Nova430i in either CA or DC mode, HaloB (an embedded MME option) comes as a
default feature in the base software. Baicells’s patented HaloB solution
migrates the necessary core network functions to the and.
