The CompactRAN CDMA/GSM base station is a small, lightweight, low power
consumption outdoor base station. The Service Enclosure is a cabinet containing an
AC-powered UPS, a battery, and the CDMA baseband processor. A bracket is used for
pole-mounting or wall-mounting. The CompactRAN CDMA/GSM base station can be
installed in hard to cover outdoor areas such as rural areas, spot fill-in on highways, or
in rugged terrain areas. It can be mounted on poles or alternative structures,
eliminating the need to place equipment on the ground.
