Overview
The Pebble unit is a low-power RF emitting eNodeB for LTE RAN. The Pebble unit
supports one LTE radio sector with two 50 MW (20 dBm) radio streams (4G) that is
responsible for radio transmission and reception from UEs in an LTE network.
The Pebble unit provides radio coverage for LTE enabled devices and or handsets
within a residential or enterprise coverage area. The Pebble unit incorporates all the
capabilities and functions of a standard eNodeB.
Casa Systems’ Pebble unit is designed to provide the following:
Ease of installation: No dedicated LTE Backhaul needed. Connects to home
broadband network using Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Easy integration: Uses X.509 digital certificates to authenticate with the service
provider's core network. Uses TR-069 over IPsec tunnel for integration with
back-end management systems.
Cost effectiveness: Supports Plug-and-Play provisioning, does not require a
dedicated installation, and uses existing infrastructure with minimal intervention.
Designed to provide home or small office coverage in low RF coverage areas.
The Axyom Element Management System (AeMS) provides management for the
Pebble unit and real-time SON functions that reduce operational costs, speed time to
market, and optimize the customer experience.
