ZTE Launches First SDR Base Station

(Product News, 12 Feb 2008)


ZTE has launched the ZXGW B8036 SDR (Software Defined Radio) base station, which is claimed to be the world's first pre-commercial SDR base station. The product supports GSM and WCDMA simultaneously within software rather than requiring separate hardware components like current base stations as well as providing LTE readiness and a smooth evolution path. It can significantly lower network infrastructure costs for operators, while improving network integrity, continuity and stability.

SDR can tune to different frequency bands and receive any modulation across a large frequency spectrum by using software to process digitised signals. With SDR technology, mobile operators will be able to extend the lifespan of their network systems, hence decreasing TCO (total cost of ownership) and significantly lowering investment risks.

In addition, the ZTE SDR base station is built on an innovative MicroTCA platform that offers additional savings compared to a traditional design; its modular and scalable architecture allows flexible network design capabilities thus reducing OPEX and CAPEX for the operators. The technology, which runs radio functionality as software modules on an integrated and unified hardware platform, also enables operators to easily roll-out new mobile services and features.
