1.1 Introduction
The Baicells Nova846 (Figure 1-1) is an advanced two-carrier outdoor eNB that is compliant with
Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) on LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology. This
8x5W eNB can operate in Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode or Dual Carrier (DC)/split mode. The
Nova846 supports broadband data access, providing various data service transformation and
transmission capabilities to enable outdoor wireless coverage. This eNB can be used by operators
to improve capacity and throughput while eliminating existing dead zones.

As a two-carrier eNB, the Nova846 hardware unit contains two separate eNBs inside one shell.
Having two carriers provides versatile options in how you operate the eNB. The available operating
modes are described in the next section, Features.
The Nova846's primary cell (Pcell) is referred to as Cell 1. The secondary cell (Scell) is referred to as
Cell 2. Each eNB comes pre-configured to simplify the installation. Baicells provides operators with
local and Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) software applications to configure and manage
individual eNBs and Customer Premise Equipment (CPE).
Additionally, Baicells offers a centralized Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution called CloudCore.
CloudCore 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 Operation 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 Nova846 eNB.
