Flexi Base Station

The difficulty facing the radio site operator

Finding new sites or expanding existing base transceiver station (BTS) sites is a costly and time-consuming exercise for many operators. With the rapid evolution of multiple radio access technologies, operational site efficiency is all the more important in achieving overall network efficiency.

If they could offer the same – or greater – coverage and capacity, operators would choose to use fewer stations. But how can this be achieved without huge capital expenditure?

Flexi BTS holds the answer

Our future-proof Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi BTS platform enables operators to use sites more efficiently, find new ones and re-use existing sites, operating with the lowest number of sites needed for coverage and capacity. In fact, due to our market- leading RF performance, radio network operators can halve the number of sites they need, with marked capital and operating expense benefits.

The Flexi BTS platform offers numerous state-of-the-art advantages, including:

  • Easier site construction, with easier implementation – yielding lower installation costs
  • Maximum re-use of legacy site infrastructure
  • Reduced initial surveying overheads thanks to quicker site finding
  • Dramatically reduced demand for power, resulting in smaller power systems
  • Shorter antenna lines that typically double RF performance – causing less environmental impact
  • Flexible design – sites constructed to adapt to future radio technologies and requirements
