  • Page 3: Sctm4812T-Mc Vs Sc 4812T Bts Read Me First (Comparison)

    This Read-me-first document describes a summary of changes between the existing SC 4812T BTS and the SC 4812T-MC (Multicarrier) BTS. The SC 4812T-MC is based on the existing SC 4812T platform and employs similar hardware and architecture. The differences between these products are briefly described and illustrated below.
