RBS 2102
GSM
The RBS 2102 is an EDGE/E-GPRS capable outdoor
RBS supporting up to six transceivers per cabinet. It is
possible to build one, two and three sector configurations
including dual band configurations in one cabinet.
The RBS 2102 is normally ground or roof mounted and
provides a durable, vandal resistant and weatherproof
enclosure. Up to four hour’s integrated battery back-up
time for a six TRU configuration is supported.
The RBS 2000 product family for Ericsson’s GSM System
offers the most advanced technology available. With
Ericsson’s wide range of RBS 2000 products, the most
cost-effective alternative is chosen for each situation,
depending on capacity, coverage, space and environ-
mental requirements.
Fast rollout and expansion
RBS 2000 Macro allows for easy installation, with on-site
testing and commissioning within one hour. This is
accomplished as the RBSs are preassembled, and SW
loaded and tested before delivery.
The flexible design of RBS 2000 supports a number of
site configurations and expansion paths as the network
grows. RBS 2000 is prepared for cost efficient collocating
with other RBS through antenna and feeder sharing.
RBS 2000 sites are predefined as product packages,
which guarantees a fast and cost-effective rollout of
typical RBS 2000 configurations.

Superior coverage and capacity
Ericsson provides superior radio performance thanks to
the highest output power, combined with high receiver
sensitivity for optimum coverage. Better coverage
means less RBSs in a given area, and therefore lower
investments and faster rollout. Another example of a
cost saving feature is 121 km Extended Range.
Different site types should be chosen, depending on the
operator’s requirements concerning initial cost, cover-
age and capacity needs now, and in the future; number
of antennas, and available footprint. Ericsson RBS 2000
Macro supports three basic solutions: standard range,
maximum range and high capacity. Maximum range is
accomplished by the use of air combining and a tower
mounted amplifier. Standard range and high capacity are
accomplished by hybrid and filter combiners.
Except for these basic solutions, smart range and the
Ericsson unique software power boost are also available.
With smart range, a capacity cell can also provide cost-
effective coverage. Software power boost extends the
coverage of a cell by combining two transceivers into
a virtual one by a simple SW command from the O&M
center. Ericsson’s synchronization based BSS features
ensure that transceivers from different generations of
radio base stations can easily form common cells.
Operators can therefore bridge the past with the future.
By making existing sites futureproof, investments are
protected while migrating to 3G.
Prepared for the future
The RBS 2000 family is prepared for GSM data services,
including General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), High
Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) and 14.4 kbit/s
timeslots. RBS 2202 also supports EDGE (E-GPRS) with
a new plug-in TRU. RBS 2000 supports Hierarchical Cell
Structures (HCS) with up to three cell layers. With the
optional BSS feature RBS 2000 synchronization, it is
possible to have up to 32 transceivers in one cell.
To reduce transmission costs, Ericsson’s RBS 2000
Macro offers two digital cross-connect solutions: the
DXX plug-in unit and the Mini DXC. Both solutions can
be fitted in the RBS 2102. Microwave equipment, such
as the Ericsson MINI-LINK
™
access module, can also be
mounted in the RBS 2102.
