European regulatory requirement compliance As a radio product, the Nortel Networks BTS18000 falls under the requirement of the RTTE (Radio and Telecom Terminal Equipment) European directive 1999/5/EEC. The RTTE directive covers essential requirements in the field of: protection of the Health and Safety of the user and any other person, including the objectives with respect to safety requirements contained in the Low Voltage directive (73/23/EEC). the protection requirements with respect to EMC contained in Directive 89/336/EEC. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, the equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference. The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus at residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. The levels however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. In particular, it may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing individually repeated transient phenomena, or continuous phenomena, is permanently present, for example a radar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to either limit the source of interference, or use special protection applied, to the interfered part, or both. Note: For operation or maintenance inside Nortel Networks systems, the antistatic wrist shall always be used to maintain the integrity of the product.

In most of the cases, these radio equipments will be co--located with existing GSM sites. Moreover, as GSM capacity increases in urban areas (voice and data traffic), operators will need to install new radio transmitters and will be forced to limit the number of additional radio cabinets required to carry the increasing traffic, in order to contain the ”floor investments” at an acceptable level. This results in a need for a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) solution with a high number of transceivers per square meter, thus a cabinet which can house more TRXs in the same footprint than S8000 and S12000 cabinets. This results as well in the need for reduced power consumption, operational effectiveness, antenna tower loading. 1.1.2 Advent of new technologies The existing GSM European operators are almost all planning the deployment of a 3G networks based on UMTS technology. Some of them have even started in 2001 but the massive deployment is just about to start. In Asia, the scenario is almost the same and the Asian operators are also preparing for 3G (CDMA 2000 or UMTS). In the Americas, the path to 3G for GSM operators is likely to stop off at GPRS/EDGE in a first stage with limited infrastructure investment before investing massively in 3G technology. The challenge for these operators is to increase the capacity and complete the coverage of their GSM network while they are starting their investments in 3G infrastructure. This results into two major difficulties for the operators: Radio sites congestion. Most of the urban sites are highly constrained by BTS footprint and will hardly accommodate for both 3G and increased capacity GSM/GPRS base stations. Therefore, dense and compact GSM and UMTS product solutions are required to answer to this constraint. Copyright E 2002--2004 Nortel Networks BTS18000 Reference Manual Front page of manual 1--2 User’s help screen BTS18000 overview Welcome screen Nortel Networks Confidential Financing and cash flow. Investing in a new technology (3G), while break in GSM has not been reached, will require very cost--effective product solutions. GSM radio sites will be reused. Some solutions, as dual mode UMTS/GSM base stations and/or infrastructure sharing between 3G operators, will allow cost--effectively launching UMTS services, before smoothly migrating the subscriber base from GSM to UMTS. This results in a need for a BTS solution supporting both GSM and UMTS. 1.1.3 Investment protection Most of the GSM operators are facing the challenges to increase the capacity and coverage of their existing networks as traffic is growing, and in the same time start to invest in new UMTS network elements and buy expensive licenses. As a consequence, the protection of the operators’ existing investments while they invest in new network components is becoming more and more important to preserve their business profitability. This results in a need for a BTS solution which should offer the maximum of compatibility with the existing S8000 and S12000 BTSs installed on the field (e.g. possibility to expand existing sites). 1.1.4 Network coverage GSM coverage is not everywhere today and the GSM operators will complete the coverage of their network in the coming years, mainly in not very dense and rural areas. This results in the need for a very cost--effective, low capacity solution, offering high coverage capabilities in order to limit the investment and balance the business case of the operator for the low revenue generating areas.
