Synchronization
Timing is transported with traffic over the Data 1/Data 2 optical eCPRI links to Baseband; the separate AUX TCU/PTP synchronization interface is reserved for future use
Chassis
Sealed outdoor AIR 6468 enclosure with radome, lifting eye, cooling inlet/outlet grids and connection-interface panel
Modules
Two Ericsson-approved SFP+ optical transceiver modules for Data 1/Data 2; optional AUX SFP+ interface is hardware-prepared but reserved for future timing use
Functional role
Ericsson RF radio product
Architecture
Integrated 64TX/64RX active-antenna radio with azimuth/elevation beamforming and FD-MIMO; two 10.3 Gbps eCPRI optical links carry traffic/timing to external Baseband
Subtype
