NSN FLEXIEDGE BTS


System Overview

Flexi EDGE uses the same enclosure concept as FlexiWCDMA, the main enclosure is not waterproof each card has it’s own seals and each unused connector must have a waterproof

cover fitted.

The hardware can be rack mounted, floor mounted or pole mounted

Hardware Overview, EXDA

The EXDA is a duel Tx/Rx unit, it is also known as a DTRX or Dual TRX

It consists of

• Two separate EDGE capable trx’s• Baseband support for both trx’s

Each TRX has two RX channels as normal but TRX’s can and will be tied together, this means only the main RX connection on each TRX will be used, each TRX then

provides a diverse RX path for the paired TRX

Hardware Overview, FSEB



The FSEB box is used for extending the Flexi BTS alarm connector from12 external inputs up to 24.

Support for the fire detector is also provided.

The FSEB box provides IP55 protection.

In outdoor applications, the box can be attached to the outdoor cabinet roof.

In indoor or stacked applications, the box is attached in the proximity of the modules, for example, on a wall.

The Flexi Mounting Auxiliary Brackets (FMAA) can be used to mount the FSEB on the top or outer casings in pole, wall, and stack configurations.







The 24 inputs appear on the two 37 way “D-Type” connectors in the same formation as with Ultrasite

and DF34 BTS’s

The ESM connection goes to the ESMA external

alarm connector

4+4+4 config

Ned contains detailed instructions as to how to build the hardware configs

The following is a exert from NED showing how to build the trial config.

For creating this configuration, you need:

• six Dual TRX Modules (EXDA)• three Dual Duplexer Modules (ERDA)

• one System Module (ESMA)• one transmission sub-module (FIDA)

• six Wideband Combiner Sub-modules (EWDB)


4+4+4 config

Install the Wideband Combiner Sub-module in the Dual TRX Module, and install the modules.
