Overview
The Baicells Nova846 is an outdoor LTE TDD base station (eNodeB) with eight 5 W transmit paths that can be arranged as two 4T4R cells or three 2T2R cells, for Band 41 (2.5 GHz) or CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Band 48.[1] It supports carrier aggregation and dual-carrier operation, lists triple-carrier operation as planned, and includes the HaloB embedded EPC (core) option and proxy or direct Spectrum Access System (SAS) support.[1] As of October 1, 2026, Baicells' product catalog does not list the Nova846, and its older support page gives lower capacity figures than the datasheet copy we reviewed, so confirm availability and current specifications with Baicells.[2][3]
