BaiCells SBS81040 Nova246 Outdoor TDD LTE eNodeB Base Station, Band 41, 2×20 W
- SKU:
- SBS81040
- MPN:
- SBS81040
Description
The BaiCells SBS81040 Nova246 is an outdoor LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD) eNodeB designed for wireless network infrastructure deployments operating in Band 41. The platform provides two 20 W RF output channels and supports 2×2 downlink MIMO on each carrier.
The Nova246 supports configurable LTE channel bandwidths and dual-carrier operating modes when the appropriate software and network configuration are available. Its external antenna connections, GPS synchronization, and optical or Gigabit Ethernet backhaul make it suitable for integration into compatible LTE radio access networks.
Designed for outdoor installation, the unit features an IP66-rated enclosure and supports pole or wall mounting. Local and remote management functions include device monitoring, performance statistics, fault management, logging, and software upgrades.
The SBS81040 is a specialized LTE base station intended for compatible network infrastructure—not a standalone home router or conventional Wi-Fi access point. Verify frequency configuration, software version, core-network compatibility, and required accessories before deployment.
