BaiCells LICENSE-436Q-CA Carrier Aggregation Software License for Nova436Q
- SKU:
- LICENSE-436Q-CA
- MPN:
- LICENSE-436Q-CA
Description
The BaiCells LICENSE-436Q-CA Carrier Aggregation Software License is a feature upgrade for the BaiCells Nova436Q outdoor LTE TDD eNodeB. It is designed for network operators who need to enable Carrier Aggregation on compatible existing equipment.
Carrier Aggregation combines two component carriers to increase the total available radio bandwidth. This can improve data throughput when the base station, spectrum configuration, and connected user equipment support the required operating mode.
Carrier Aggregation and Performance
The Nova436Q supports two-component-carrier (2CC) Carrier Aggregation. Official manufacturer documentation describes configurations with up to 40 MHz of aggregated bandwidth using two 20 MHz carriers.
Actual throughput depends on the radio configuration, available spectrum, network conditions, and compatible customer-premises equipment (CPE). Carrier Aggregation performance should not be treated as a guaranteed user data rate.
Deployment and Compatibility
The LICENSE-436Q-CA is intended for a compatible BaiCells Nova436Q eNodeB. The target device's serial number is required for the license upgrade.
Before ordering, confirm the exact hardware variant, installed software version, supported frequency bands, and license provisioning requirements.

3. Applications / Use Cases
The BaiCells LICENSE-436Q-CA may be suitable for:
-
Private LTE network capacity upgrades.
-
Public wireless broadband infrastructure.
-
LTE networks using compatible Carrier Aggregation configurations.
-
Deployments seeking to use available fragmented spectrum resources.
-
Existing Nova436Q installations requiring Carrier Aggregation functionality.
-
Wireless network expansion where additional aggregated bandwidth is supported.
Deployment suitability depends on available spectrum, radio configuration, compatible user equipment, and applicable regulatory requirements.
4. Compatibility
Confirmed platform: BaiCells Nova436Q outdoor eNodeB.
Before purchasing, verify:
-
The target device is a compatible Nova436Q variant.
-
The device's serial number is available for license provisioning.
-
The installed software version supports the required Carrier Aggregation feature.
-
The desired frequency bands and carrier configuration are supported by the hardware.
-
Connected CPE supports the required LTE Carrier Aggregation configuration.
Important distinction: Carrier Aggregation (CA) combines component carriers, whereas Dual Carrier (DC) operates two carriers as independent cells. The LICENSE-436Q-CA should not be substituted for LICENSE-436Q-DC without confirming the intended functionality.
5. What's Included

6. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the BaiCells LICENSE-436Q-CA?
It is a software license upgrade intended to enable Carrier Aggregation on a compatible BaiCells Nova436Q outdoor eNodeB.
Q2. What does Carrier Aggregation do?
Carrier Aggregation combines multiple component carriers to increase the total available radio bandwidth and potentially improve data throughput.
Q3. What is the maximum aggregated bandwidth?
The Nova436Q documentation describes up to 40 MHz of aggregated bandwidth with two supported 20 MHz carriers. Actual operation depends on the supported radio configuration and available spectrum.
Q4. Is the Nova436Q base station included?
No. This listing is for the software license, not the physical eNodeB.
Q5. Is a serial number required?
Yes. The target Nova436Q eNodeB's serial number is required for the license upgrade.
Q6. Is this license the same as the Dual Carrier license?
No. Carrier Aggregation combines component carriers, while Dual Carrier mode treats carriers as independent cells. Select the license that matches the intended network configuration.
Q7. Does the license expire?
The license duration is not confirmed in the available official manufacturer documentation. Confirm the terms before ordering.
Q8. How can I confirm compatibility before purchase?
Provide the Nova436Q model and serial number, along with the installed software version if available, to Multilink for assistance reviewing compatibility and licensing requirements.
