  • Page 7: Overview

    Overview 1.1 Introduction The Baicells Neutrino430 (Figure 1-1) is an advanced two-carrier indoor eNodeB that is compliant with Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) on Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology. This 4x250mW eNodeB can operate in Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode or Dual Carrier (DC)/split mode.
  • Page 8: Features

    Baicells provides FCC Part 96 certified eNBs, including the Neutrino430, 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.
  • Page 9 HaloB User Guide • SAS Deployment Guide In addition to the Neutrino430 eNB two carriers and multiple operating modes, the following is a list of other key features. The Neutrino430 datasheet providing technical specifications is kept up- to-date on the Baicells website.
