3.1 Building capacity with the Nokia MetroSite EDGE
Base Station
The features described in this section accommodate the efficient building of
capacity such as microcellular, building infill and roadside coverage.
3.1.1 Four TRX BTS with flexible sectoring and dual band operation
One Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station incorporates up to four TRXs and thus
provides sufficient capacity to handle a large amount of telecommunication
traffic. The Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station can be sectored very flexibly.
Every TRX has its own antenna connector. Every TRX also incorporates a duplex
filter, and one antenna therefore handles both transmitting and receiving. Any cell
can incorporate up to four TRXs and, on the other hand, every TRX can form a
sector of its own within a cell. Consequently, the maximum number of sectors for
a stand-alone BTS is four.
