• RRC Compliant with 3GPP LTE Rel.9, Rel.10, Rel.11, Rel.12, Rel.13
•IP time synchronization through NTP
• Network Synchronization:
• GPS: Default option with holdover and failover support.
• OTA synchronization through network listening (NL) of surrounding
macro layer, usually for the same band if GPS is not available. Please
consult Casa representative for NL requirement.
• 28 bits Apex Lifestyle Small Cell ID support, 20 bits Apex Lifestyle Small Cell
ID support to behave as a macro/pico Apex Lifestyle Small Cell
•S1 Flex
•MOCN
• Hierarchical Cell Selection Support
• Hybrid SON functions with a fully featured dSON agent
• TR-069 Management Interface with TR-143, TR-181 and TR-196v2 data models
Plug and Play (PnP) connectivity
Individual units can connect to the EPC network without any user intervention using
the PnP process. Please consult with your Casa representative to define and implement
your PnP process.
