Overview
The Baicells Nova430i is an outdoor LTE TDD base station (eNodeB) rated 4x250 mW, with four integrated high-gain antennas and a built-in GPS antenna, that runs two carriers either aggregated (carrier aggregation, CA) or as two independent cells (dual carrier, DC).[1] Baicells' current datasheet lists CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Band 48 with proxy or direct Spectrum Access System (SAS) connections, and includes HaloB, an embedded EPC (core) option that moves core functions onto the radio.[1] It targets private and public LTE networks that want an all-in-one pole- or wall-mounted unit; the Nova430e is the external-antenna variant of the same platform.[2][3]
