BaiCells BAICELLS-HALOB-1 HaloB Local EPC Software License – 1 Feature Key

The BaiCells BAICELLS-HALOB-1 HaloB Local EPC Software License enables the HaloB feature on compatible BaiCells LTE eNodeB equipment. HaloB integrates lightweight Evolved Packet Core functionality into the base station, reducing the need for all core-network processing to depend on a remote EPC connection.

Local EPC Functionality

In a conventional LTE deployment, the eNodeB communicates with core-network components over the transport network. HaloB moves supported core-network functions closer to the radio access network by embedding a lightweight EPC within the eNodeB.

This architecture can improve service resilience when connectivity to a remote EPC is interrupted, provided the relevant subscriber information has already been provisioned and the deployment supports the required local functions.

Network Management and Deployment

BaiCells documentation describes HaloB operating modes and configuration through supported management interfaces. Depending on the deployment, CloudCore management and BOSS subscriber-management functions may remain part of the overall architecture.

The target eNodeB must support the feature and run a compatible software version. BaiCells generates feature keys for specific eNodeBs, so the target device's serial number must be provided during provisioning.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is BaiCells BAICELLS-HALOB-1?

It is a single HaloB Local EPC software feature key for compatible BaiCells eNodeB equipment.

Q2. What does HaloB do?

HaloB embeds lightweight EPC functionality in a supported eNodeB, allowing supported core-network functions to operate locally.

Q3. Is physical hardware included?

No. This is a software license, not a physical base station.

Q4. How many eNodeBs does this license cover?

Distributor documentation identifies this SKU as one feature key, with one key required per eNodeB. Confirm the license allocation with the supplier.
