Swedish telecomms solutions provider Ericsson said on Monday (13 February) that it had launched a new generation of radio base stations to meet customers' needs for smooth capacity growth, fewer sites and improved power efficiency. The new portfolio allows operators to provide services, such as high-speed mobile broadband, at extremely competitive cost levels, according to the company. The new base station portfolio allows for 30% fewer sites and increases capacity by 50-150%, Ericsson said. It also enhances power efficiency, with power consumption cut by a further 35-55%. The new generation of WCDMA base stations, called RBS 3000, includes distributed, carry-to-site, multi-access and mega-capacity products for both indoor and outdoor use.
