About This Part
The Ericsson UKL40170/A17, often identified within the RAU (Radio Access Unit) or RRU (Remote Radio Unit) product family, represents a fundamental component in modern wireless telecommunication networks. This module is typically deployed as a compact, outdoor-mountable unit, designed to convert digital baseband signals into analog radio frequency (RF) signals for transmission, and vice-versa. Its primary function is to extend the radio coverage and enhance capacity for mobile broadband services, supporting various cellular technologies. Key technical specifications often include multi-band operation, high power output for extended range, and robust environmental sealing. While specific data rates and protocols depend on the exact software configuration and network generation (e.g., LTE, 5G NR), these units are engineered for high-throughput, low-latency communication, integrating seamlessly with Ericsson's baseband units via optical interfaces, ensuring efficient signal transport and synchronization. The Part Number UKL40170/A17 is predominantly installed at cell sites, atop towers, on rooftops, or integrated into street-level deployments, bringing radio signals closer to end-users. It supports Ericsson's comprehensive Radio Access Network (RAN) platforms, including Ericsson Radio System, facilitating the expansion and densification of mobile networks. Telecommunication operators globally, across various industries from public safety to enterprise private networks, utilize these units to address increasing data traffic demands, improve network performance in congested urban areas, and provide reliable coverage in challenging geographical locations. This module effectively solves problems related to capacity bottlenecks and coverage gaps, serving as a vital upgrade path for existing 3G/4G infrastructure or as a foundational element in new 5G rollouts, replacing older, less efficient radio units.
