BBU5900A Function
A BBU performs the following functions:
Provides ports for connecting to the transmission equipment, RF modules, USB devices, external reference clock, and LMT or MAE to transmit signals, perform automatic base station software upgrade, receive reference clock signals, and support BBU maintenance on the LMT or MAE.
Manages the entire base station system. The management involves uplink and downlink data processing, signaling processing, resource management, and operation and maintenance.
BBU5900A Matching Boards
The BBU5900A is classified into AC and DC, and the corresponding boards are different.
The BBU5900A (AC) and BBU5900A (DC) support different boards. Table 2-1 describes boards supported by the BBU5900A (AC) and Table 2-2 describes boards supported by the BBU5900A (DC) regardless of the mode and configuration.
ETSI EN 300019-1-4 V2.2.1 (2014-04) Class 4.1: "Non-weatherprotected locations"
Storage environment
ETSI EN300019-1-1 V2.2.1 (2014-04) Class1.2 "Weather protected, not temperature-controlled storage locations"
NOTE:
The validity period is one year.
The product can function properly within the validity period if the storage environment meets the preceding standards.
