Product Overview

Introduction

Baicells Nova430 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/split 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 430 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 Nova430 in DC mode simplifies and streamlines the deployment of split sectors.

In addition to having the option to operate Nova430 in either CA or DC mode, HaloB (an embedded MME option) comes as a default feature in the base software. Baicells’spatented HaloB solution migrates the necessary core network functions to the and.

Regulatory Compliance

FCC Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

NOTE: Other accessories have been packed in the packing box.

Weatherproofing

For RF antenna weatherproof, adopt cold shrink tubes.

To protect the connection points from weather and climate, clean each connection point before installing cold shrink tubes, per the following figure.

1. Insert the cable into the cold shrink tube.
2. Tighten the connector.
3. Push the cold shrink tube to the top joint, and pull out the strip.
4. Ensure the cold shrink tube is tightly fitted with the connection.

For GPS antenna weatherproof, adopt all-weather electrical tape and mastic tape, per the followed figure.

NOTE: Make sure that the wrapping direction of the last layer is from the bottom up. The last layer should be tight enough to keep it from cracking.

Install GPS Antenna

Read the following GPS antenna installation requirements before installing it on the and.

• No major blocking from buildings in the vicinity. Make sure the space atop is at least 45 degrees unblocked by any buildings.
• Avoid installing the GPS antenna in the vicinity of any other transmitting and receiving devices, to avoid interference.
•  The GPS antenna should be installed within 45 degrees to the lightning rod.

The GPS antenna system includes an antenna and a connector. The two parts should be assembled according to Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Assemble GPS Antenna

After assembling the GPS antenna, the connector must be waterproofed by all- weather electrical tape and mastic tape.

Install on Pole

Check to ensure the diameter of the pole is in the range of 1.6 inches to 2.8 inches (40mm to 70 mm). The position of the eNB on the pole should be at least 47 inches (120 cm) in height.

The brackets have been pre-assembled in manufacturing before packing. It includes two parts, one is pre-assembled on the back of the device. The other is for pole mounting or wall mounting, as shown in Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2 Pre-assembled Device

The following will introduce how to fix the pre-assembled eNB on a pole.

Install on Wall

NOTE: The wall must bear at least 4 times the weight of the eNB.

Take apart the assembly bracket first, only remains the wall bracket, as shown in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-3 Wall Bracket

The following steps introduce how to fix the pre-assembled eNB on a wall.

Connect Cables

NOTE: The GPS antenna connector and the RF antenna connector must have weatherproof protection, refer to “2.3 Weatherproofing”.

Power On

Power on the end, and wait a few minutes while the B boots up. Per the previous Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 in “1.3 Appearance”, check that the LED indicators are lighting as expected.
