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
