TheNext Generation Smart Base Station (SBS) series supports LTE advanced, NB-IoT and 5G NR.

Key Differentiators

• Feature Richness allows it to be used in next generation solutions
• High Portability allows easy integration into different systems such as small cells, micro/macro cells, and virtualized RAN solutions
• Extensive Diagnostics enables efficient network operation and support Test & Measurement solutions
• Flexible OAM & SON Approach allows the network operator to choose an option that matches the overall network strategy
• Extensive Test & Measurement Support allows use in innovative test offerings

Feature Richness

• Carrier Aggregation (CA)
  • Same Carrier Scheduling
  • Cross Carrier Scheduling
  • PCell Change
  • SCell Activation/Deactivation
  • 8x8 MIMO in all serving cells
• All downlink transmission modes (TM1-TM9)
• Multiple Cells, Sectors and Carrier Aggregates
• FDD and TDD in a single executable
• VoLTE
  • QoS/QCI aware scheduler
  • Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS)
  • Robust Header Compression (RoHC) including Sooktha RoHC library (no third party libraries are required)
  • TTI Bundling

High Portablilty

• Developed on the Sooktha SP platform – can be executed on RT Linux or hardware API directly
• FAPI compliant PHY interface module – integrated with multiple third party PHY implementations
• Hardware accelerator interface (SHA 256, SNOW 3G, AES 128, IP Networking) – integrated with hardware accelerators on SoC (Software implementations are available for initial integration)
• Multiple SoC Architectures – Multicore, Hardware Threads, Master-Slave
• Multiple System Architectures – SoC Based (Small Cells), Discrete Hardware Modules (Micro/Macro Cells), Distributed Nodes (for Virtualized Access Networks)

Extensive Diagnostics

• Message tracing on all Control Service Access Points (C-SAPs)
• MAC TB logging in Wireshark format for protocol messages
• FAPI Message logging in Wireshark format
• Statistics at different layers
• Extensive Software logs – different levels and the log level is configurable at module level

Flexible OAM/SON Options

• Support for TR-181 and TR-196 models for management via TR69
• Provisions to integrate SNMP v3 based interface to EMS
• Support for SON features such as PCI selection, ANR, Interference Management, and Mobility Optimization – both distributed and centralized

Extensive Test & Measurement Support

• Full 3GPP ASP support (TS 36.523)
• Support for overriding standard compliant state machines (for adversarial testing)
• Extreme radio conditions, conditions under which the UE would have been released very quickly in a normal base station but which are a key feature in Test & Measurement equipment
