BaiCells MBS31001 Nova436Q Outdoor LTE TDD eNodeB Base Station, 3.5 GHz, Bands 42/43/48

The BaiCells MBS31001 Nova436Q is an outdoor LTE TDD eNodeB base station designed to provide LTE radio access for compatible broadband operators, enterprises, and private wireless networks. It combines baseband and radio functionality in an outdoor unit for deployments requiring reliable LTE access and wired backhaul.

Operating in the 3.5 GHz range, the MBS31001 supports LTE TDD Bands 42, 43, and 48. The platform supports 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz channel bandwidths per carrier. According to the manufacturer, peak aggregate data rates can reach up to 220 Mbps downlink and 56 Mbps uplink with a 2 × 20 MHz configuration using compatible LTE Cat 6/7 user equipment. Actual throughput depends on network configuration, spectrum availability, connected devices, and operating conditions.

The Nova436Q supports external antenna configurations and provides both Gigabit Ethernet and optical backhaul connectivity. GPS synchronization and network-management features support deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and remote administration.

The MBS31001 supports single-carrier operation. Carrier aggregation or dual-carrier/split operation requires the appropriate license and configuration; these capabilities should not be assumed to be included with every unit.

This is operator-grade cellular infrastructure equipment, not a consumer Wi-Fi router. Deployment requires compatible LTE core-network infrastructure, suitable backhaul, appropriate antennas, and authorization to operate in the target frequency band.

4. Compatibility

The BaiCells MBS31001 requires a compatible LTE network environment.

• LTE spectrum: The network must support one of the device's supported bands: 42, 43, or 48.

• Core network: Requires a compatible LTE EPC and appropriate network configuration.

• Backhaul: Requires a suitable Ethernet or optical network connection.

• Antennas: External antennas compatible with the selected band, port configuration, and radio requirements are required.

• Power: Use the correct power supply for the exact hardware revision.

• Carrier aggregation: The appropriate license and supported software configuration are required for dual-carrier or carrier-aggregation operation.

• Regulatory compliance: Confirm local spectrum authorization and certification requirements before deployment.

A compatible LTE modem or SIM card alone is not sufficient to operate this base station.
