Additionally, Baicells offers a centralized Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution called CloudCore.
CloudCore, sometimes referred to as BaiCloud, includes all of the essential LTE Evolved Packet
Core (EPC) network functions, an Operations Management Console (OMC) for managing
multiple sites across the network, and a Business and Operations Support System (BOSS) for
subscriber management.
In this document, you will find a general description, guidelines, and procedures for installing,
entering basic configuration information, and verifying the operational status of the Neutrino-
430 eNB.
1.2 Features
The two-carrier Neutrino-430 eNB is capable of operating in one of several modes:
Single Carrier (SC)
•
•
Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode (based on software license)
Dual Carrier (DC)/split mode (based on software license)
•
•
HaloB mode (embedded in the base software)
Citizens Broadband Radio System (CBRS) Spectrum Access System (SAS)
•
SC describes a scenario where the operator wishes to use only one of the two available cells in
the eNB. This may be necessary for operators who have limited licensed spectrum or who are
planning to use the second carrier later as their network grows. In SC mode, only the primary
cell (Pcell), aka Cell 1, is used.
CA provides the ability to aggregate channels from across the full CBRS range, even channels
that are not adjacent. Using CA essentially doubles the downlink capacity when all users have
Cat6/7 or later customer premise equipment (CPE).
DC (split sector) mode enables the operator to run the Neutrino-430 as two independent
carriers for split sector coverage.
HaloB allows the eNB to function with embedded Mobility Management Entity (MME)
capabilities on board so that the eNB operates independently from the usual cloud connection.
CBRS SAS is a multi-vendor Spectrum Access System database where CBRS spectrum use is
managed dynamically across operators. The CBRS band covers 3.55-3.70 GHz. Operators must
sign up with a SAS provider, which handles the dynamic frequency assignment and release
process. Baicells provides FCC Part 96 certified eNBs, including the Neutrino-430, and CPEs that
operate within the Part 96 rules for CBRS. The Baicells eNBs and CPEs use a domain proxy (DP)
to connect to the SAS server by leveraging the existing connection with the OMC.
