Minimal footprint, maximum performance

The next stride in the evolution of Siemens BTS hardware, streamlined BS-240/241/240 XL base stations accept up to 48 TRX with far less volume per TRX. A future-focused platform for all upcoming GSM enhancements these three BS pave a smooth path to integrated GSM and UMTS sites. www.siemens.com/mn

BS-240 XL: The flagship of the Siemens base station line

Big performance in a small box. Realworld reliability at reasonable prices. Affordable evolutionary rather than costly revolutionary advances. If youre seeking all this and more in a base station, your quest ends with the SBS line. Product profile Built to meet rising demand for higher capacity, compact, modular BS-240/241/ 240 XL offer 16 and 24 TRX per rack, configurable in multiple racks with up to 48 TRX. Operating in GSM 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 frequency bands, these dual-band BS pack a lot of power in a remarkably compact chassis. A full range of connectivity equipment boosts output power for fewer antennas in all cell configurations. Featuring high receiver sensitivity and a small footprint, these BS spare operators infrastructural expenses. With a modular architecture and a flexible internal structure affording high data rates, BS-240/ 241/240 XL provide GSM features such as EDGE. With the latest technology on board, this platform ensures smooth network evolution, reduces power consumption and enhances reliability. Customer benefits Grow as you go to meet growing demand Redundant core modules for highest reliability Integrated Abis cross-connect (8 PCM24/ 30 lines) reduces investments Fast network rollout: superior RX sensitivity and high output power for up to 50% fewer sites Hot rack extensions and TRX swap without service interruption Best-in-class composite transmit power with minimal footprint requirements for high site efficiency Fully scalable, growing to match growing demand Start with a single rack; plug in up to 16 TRX (24 TRX for BS-240 XL). Expansion racks accommodate more TRX and service racks tailor the BTS to suit the sites requirements Pre-installed commissioning for installation in less than an hour Modular internal structure; highly flexible signal processing EDGE-enabled and ready for future GSM features and GERAN and VoIP services Compatibility Compatible with legacy SBS products BS-240/241/240 XL deploy easily in installed networks Generic BTS software runs on all platforms for uniform services throughout the network Features Frequency bands: GSM850/900 (including Railway and Extended)/1800/1900 Dual band configurations as GSM900/ 1800, 900/1900, 850/1800 or 850/1900 in a single BTS rack Up to 144 TRX/site, up to 24 TRX/cell and 36 cells/site High power amplifier (68W) and up to -116 dBm RX sensitivity Core and AC/DC redundancy Duplex and filter combiners; filter combiner with high power duplexer Membrane filter for outdoor BTS Tower-mounted amp with intelligent reliability management
