RBS 2106
The GSM Macro Outdoor Base Station

RBS 2106 is a high capacity, compact outdoor macro
radio base station supporting up to twelve transceivers per
cabinet. It is possible to build one,two and three sector
configurations including dual band configurations in one
cabinet.
Being the latest member in the RBS 2000 family, RBS
2106 is to date the most powerful outdoor RBS in theworld. Keeping the successful characteristics of the existing
RBS 2000 portfolio and improving functionality as well as
operation and maintenance makes the RBS 2106 a very
cost-effective solution forgrowing GSM operators.
The RBS 2000 family supports a wide range of applications ranging from extreme coverage to extreme capacity.
Being a RBS 2000 member guarantees coexistence with the
installedbase of RBS 200 and RBS 2000 products.
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.

Part of the grow-on-site concept
Since it is becomingincreasingly difficult to find new
base station sites, it is of great interest to remain on the
existing sites as long as possible. Site space is often a
limiting factor for capacity growth. Thepowerful RBS
2106, included in Ericsson’s grow-on-site toolbox,
addresses this problem. On many sites, two or more
existing cabinets can be replaced by one RBS 2106.
This is of major importance,since it makes it possible
to reuse the space to rollout WCDMA equipment. The
RBS 2106 will pave the way for WCDMA.
Also interesting for new locations, the RBS 2106 offers
a complete solution instand-alone cabinet which
rapidly can be implemented outdoors. All the units to
run the RBS are included in this single cabinet, there is
no need for an extra product.
