About This Part
The Ericsson KRC161241/2, often identified by its product family designation as an RRUS11B12, is a critical component within modern cellular infrastructure, specifically a Remote Radio Unit (RRU). This advanced Ericsson unit is engineered to provide robust radio frequency (RF) capabilities for mobile network deployments. Its compact, weather-resistant form factor allows for flexible installation close to the antenna, minimizing feeder loss and optimizing signal integrity. Functionally, the KRC161241/2 performs the crucial task of converting digital baseband signals received from the Baseband Unit (BBU) into analog RF signals for transmission, and vice-versa for reception. Operating in the 700MHz band (Band 12), it is designed to enhance coverage and capacity, particularly beneficial for extending reach in rural areas or improving indoor penetration. Key technical specifications include its multi-carrier support, high power efficiency, and standard CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) connectivity for seamless integration with Ericsson's baseband platforms, ensuring high data throughput and low latency performance essential for 4G LTE networks and foundational for future 5G evolution. The Ericsson KRC161241/2 is typically deployed in distributed radio access network (RAN) architectures, mounted on cell towers, rooftops, utility poles, or other elevated structures. Its proximity to the antenna minimizes signal degradation, a common challenge with traditional centralized base stations. This RRU is an integral part of the Ericsson Radio System, supporting 4G LTE networks and providing a pathway for future 5G capabilities. Mobile network operators worldwide leverage this equipment to expand their network footprint, improve subscriber experience, and address increasing data traffic demands. It effectively solves problems such as insufficient coverage in challenging geographical areas, capacity limitations in densely populated urban environments, and the need for energy-efficient network components. The KRC161241/2 serves as an upgrade path for operators looking to modernize their existing infrastructure, replacing older, less efficient remote radio units or traditional macro base station configurations with a more compact, powerful, and energy-efficient solution that reduces both capital expenditure and operational costs. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing high-quality used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment, including units like the Part Number KRC161241/2.
