About This Part
The Ericsson KRC161349/2, identified by its product name and the hint RRUS12 B4, is a high-performance Remote Radio Unit (RRU) integral to modern cellular network infrastructure. As part of the Ericsson Radio System portfolio, this unit exemplifies a compact, outdoor-deployable form factor, designed to be mounted close to antennas, thereby minimizing feeder loss and enhancing signal integrity. Its primary function is to handle radio frequency (RF) transmission and reception, amplification, and digital-to-analog/analog-to-digital conversion for mobile communication. Specifically, the RRUS12 B4 operates within the AWS (Advanced Wireless Services) Band 4 spectrum, covering uplink frequencies of 1710-1755 MHz and downlink frequencies of 2110-2155 MHz. It supports multi-standard radio operation, primarily enabling 4G LTE services, and often backward compatibility with WCDMA, providing robust capacity and coverage. Key technical specifications include multiple transmit/receive paths, high output power per carrier, and CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) connectivity for seamless integration with baseband units, ensuring high data rates and low latency. This Ericsson RRU is typically deployed in diverse outdoor environments, including cell towers, rooftops, utility poles, and specialized outdoor enclosures, bringing the radio processing closer to the antenna. The Part Number KRC161349/2 is a cornerstone component for mobile network operators seeking to expand their 4G LTE footprint, enhance network capacity in dense urban areas, or improve coverage in suburban and rural regions. It supports various network platforms within the Ericsson Radio System, facilitating the evolution and optimization of existing infrastructure. By decentralizing the radio functionality from the base station, the RRUS12 B4 solves critical problems such as reducing passive intermodulation (PIM), improving spectral efficiency, and enabling faster, more flexible network deployments. It serves as a vital upgrade or replacement for older, less efficient radio units or traditional base station architectures that rely on long, lossy coaxial feeder cables, thereby contributing to a more energy-efficient and high-performing radio access network.
