Why a new platform?

1. FIERCE PRICE COMPETITION, GROSS MARGINS UNDER HUGE PRESSURE Produce a new platform having a clearly lower cost base
Substantial UltraSite cost reductions not easy nor cheap to achieve

2. MODERNISATION AND VENDOR EXITS OPEN UP POSSIBILITIES FOR MARKET SHARE EXPANSION

Increased market share with a new, differentiated offering

Instead of PIUs, design self-supporting (mechanically) compatible with Flexi WCDMA Supports a wider range of site types with reduction of OPEX (when in stacks) and IMPEX (enables new ways to build sites) Despite being a modular BTS, it can also support traditional cabinet-based site designs

Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS Product Overview

Revolutionary BTS with weather-proof modules
Installation in stacks, on walls, poles, in 19racks or cabinets Same modules for indoors and outdoors, macro- and microcellular sites Temperature range -33C +50 C (temporarily +55 C)

Site capacity with virtually no limits

1 to 24 TRX in 1-6* sectors under 1 BCF Up to 216 TRX per site 24 TRX in the volume of a traditional BTS cabinet

Industry leading radio performance

TRX output power 47 dBm, sensitivity 115.5 dBm (with 2-way UL div)

Dual TRX module (DTRX) optimal for both capacity and coverage modes
In Capacity mode (CaM) both TRXs of DTRX are used for traffic In Double Power TRX (DPTRX) mode the TRX output power is 49.5 dBm In Coverage mode (CoM) 30-50% fewer sites by boosting both down- and uplink
i.e., DPTRX+IDD+4-way diversity: 53 dBm (200W) * Consideration in next SW revision to have 1-12 sectors

Nokia Flexi BTS platform:

Novel approach for GSM/EDGE/WCDMA/HSPA/WiMAX BTS sites
BTS configurations are built with weather-resistant modules Capacity is expanded by
Adding modules Software license keys

Example of 2+2+2 TRX configuration

Same modules used for all site types

Indoor and outdoor Micro- and macrocellular From 1 to 216 TRX configurations

538mm

560mm 447mm

Modules can be installed to walls, poles, stacks, 19racks, Nokia Flexi BTS cabinets or in swap-out situations Common Nokia Flexi platform brings modularity to GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/HSPA BTS sites Nokia is the first and only vendor to adopt the novel modular approach

Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS

A BTS built with modules
Cabinets are not needed with a module-based BTS
Modules are weather protected by casings, covers and connector boots and seals Casings direct air-flow and allow removal of the modules from the stack Temperature range: -33C +50C; temporarily +55 C

Standard module (3HU)

133 mm

Modules can be installed in cabinets or 19 racks

Casings are not used in cabinet installations

422* 560 mm 447 mm Weight approx 20 kg * 422 mm depth for cabinet-installed modules

Back and front covers are not used if cabinets have a door

Modules are small and light-weight

One person can transport and install BTS without using lifting equipment

not used if there is a door and back wall are required for safety reasons if there is no door or back wall

Only front cabling, no back access required Every module is fixed separately to the rack
Rack provides 19 fixing points

Modules are grounded via rack Sufficient air flow through rack must be guaranteed Min 100 mm front clearance for connectors and cables is needed if there is door
