General Architecture:
The RBS 2206 is a member of the RBS 2000 family for indoor applications, with up to six double
Transceiver Units. The RBS 2206 is designed to be transported as a fully-assembled cabinet to the site. All units in the cabinet are easily accessible from the front of the cabinet, which means that the cabinets can be mounted side by side with their backs against a wall.
RBS 2206 BTS consists with several functional modules. The RBS 2206 is a high-capacity indoor base station. Either 900 MHz or 1800 MHz BTS the general architecture of both are same in physical and functional wise. The modules of RBS 2206 BTS are positioned as mentioning below.
