The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station is a complete, all-climate base
transceiver station. It can be used in GSM 900, 1800 and 1900 and GSM/EDGE
800, 900, 1800 and 1900 systems, or as a dual band GSM 900/1800 or dual band
GSM/EDGE 900/1800, 800/1800 or 800/1900 BTS. Both omni and sectored
configurations are supported. The small-sized Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base
Station cabinet accommodates up to four transceiver units (TRXs).
The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be fitted with 5W GSM TRXs or
5W GSM/EDGE TRXs.
The introduction of EDGE requires EDGE capable TRXs. EDGE also requires
CX 3.2 software (or later) to be available at the BSC.
