Overview
The Baicells Nova442i is a two-carrier outdoor LTE TDD base station (eNodeB) rated 4x4 W, built as a pole-mounted cylinder with an internal 360° omni antenna and an internal GPS antenna, so no external antennas are needed.[1][2] Baicells offers it in separate models for Band 40 (2.3 GHz) and CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Band 48, with carrier aggregation or dual-carrier operation.[2] Like Baicells' smaller Nova radios, it includes the HaloB embedded EPC (core) option and works with Baicells CloudCore or standard LTE cores.[1]
