___________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW
The days of the first GSM deployments are long gone. Mobile Operators now rolling out GSM base stations benefit from a mature technology, but in turn face much harder competition and fainted ARPUs. Turning their focus from Telecom Features to Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) matters, these Mobile Operators realize they dont need to use the same engineering principles like used during the first wave of GSM deployments, and that they may want to do things a new way. Thus, whereas most initial GSM deployments were using Indoor Base Stations, Outdoor type of Base Stations has now become one of the key building blocks of a state-of-the-art network solution. Efficient Outdoor Base Station cabinets enable fast and easy deployments, whatever the environment constraints (site topology, climate, infrastructure constraints, etc.) with drastic reductions of operators investments and operational expenses compared to shelter usage. Alcatel-Lucent has long been a strong promoter of Outdoor Base Stations, has a long track of experience of designing and shipping Outdoor Base Stations, and is constantly enriching its Outdoor BTSs portfolio to anticipate Mobile Operators wishes and specific constraints. This document presents Alcatel-Lucent Outdoor Base Stations product range and its benefits for Mobile Operators. These solutions, field proven worldwide in the most difficult deployment conditions, enable to reach BSS TCO savings in the range of 40%.

The days of the first GSM deployments are long gone. Mobile Operators now rolling out GSM base stations benefit from a mature technology, but in turn face much harder competition and fainted ARPUs. This increased pressure drive Mobile Operators to take greater care of all costs induced by the equipment that theyre investing in. They want to master all direct and indirect costs, they want to master costs drifts, etc. In a word: they want to ensure benefiting from the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) for their investment. How can Alcatel-Lucent help Mobile Operators decrease the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of their BSS network ?

BTS site solution being the main driver to a BSS TCO, Alcatel-Lucent first focuses on Base Stations. Alcatel-Lucent answer to Mobile Operators TCO challenge is centered on Alcatel-Lucent Outdoor Base Stations. As a matter of fact, whereas most initial GSM deployments were using Indoor Base Stations, Alcatel-Lucent is convinced that Outdoor type of Base Stations has now become one of the key building blocks of a state-of-the-art network solution. This paragraph describes Alcatel-Lucent range of Outdoor Base Stations.

How does that Outdoor BTS portfolio help the Mobile Operators answer their TCO challenges? Alcatel-Lucent Outdoor BTSs are designed to enable any network architecture, and to minimize the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of any site on which they are installed, whatever its topology, climate, infrastructure and accessibility constraints. Alcatel-Lucent long track of Outdoor BTS deployments, especially in Emerging countries, has enabled to identify the 4 main criteria that enable to reach such flexibility and TCO performance: Making heavy shelters and air conditioning solutions useless Ensuring minimum site acquisition, civil works and site rental costs Minimizing power consumption costs Minimizing backhauling transmission costs
Figure 2: Alcatel-Lucent GSM Base Stations range of ambient temperature The maximum ambient temperature allowed (55C, valid even for a full MBO-2 3x8 configuration running at full traffic capacity) uses the Direct Air Cooling System (DACS) by Alcatel-Lucent. This system relies on a very efficient filter (provided by the GORETM company) to enable direct air exchange between the inside and the outside of the BTS thus providing higher cooling efficiency than air exchanger solutions- while ensuring that no sand, humidity or dust can enter the interior of the BTS.

3.2 Ensuring minimum site acquisition, civil works and site rental costs
Once the conditions are met to avoid [indoor + shelter + air conditioning] solution, the mobile operator still needs to ensure that he benefits from the lowest site acquisition, civil works and site rental cost. Therefore, the Outdoor BTSs provided by Alcatel-Lucent provide an unprecedented compactness. Thanks to the Twin TRX module (that gathers 2 logical TRXs inside a module the size of a standard 1 TRX module): 9112 CBO reaches 3x2 macro TRXs configuration with a footprint of less than 0.5 m and weight under 150 Kgs 9100 MBO-1 reaches 3x4 macro TRXs 9100 MBO-2 reaches 3x8 macro TRXs The 9112 Compact BTS Outdoor (BTS) can be installed on all roofs, mast, poles, etc. Offering the same radio performances as all other Alcatel-Lucent macro BTSs, it is the ideal solution for small / medium capacity suburban or rural deployments. Overall, the All-in-One design of Alcatel-Lucent Outdoor BTSs enable them to be installed whatever the environment constraints. Possibilities of installation gather: in the street on roof on mast (CBO)

In addition to the Twin TRX, just 2 modules (Antenna Network Connection module and Station Unit Module) are necessary to build all configurations of Alcatel-Lucent 9100 Macro Base Stations Outdoor. This reduced set of BTS modules (only 3) enables to lower the CAPEX (minimum number of spare parts, minimum training effort for the operators operational teams to derive the widest variety of BTS configurations), to lower the OPEX (high reliability thanks to higher integration, decreasing the maintenance effort), and to increase the quality of service offered.
Only 3 modules to build all Outdoor and Indoor BTS configurations Less Spares, more reliability, with full scalability and flexibility

Alcatel-Lucent has introduced Outdoor GSM BTS cabinets already in 1999. Today, these AlcatelLucent Outdoor BTS represent a real success. They have been deployed on all continents, including in the most difficult environments. Picture below lists some of Alcatel-Lucent Outdoor BTS references:
ASIA PACIFIC
Thailand (600 units) Philippines (300 units) China India Etc.
LATIN AMERICA
Brazil (1,000 units) Costa Rica Etc.
EUROPE
Almost all countries, including Romania (700 units) Moldavia (60 units) Bulgaria (180 units) Kosovo Etc.
For example, Roshan has chosen Alcatel-Lucent Outdoor Base Stations for its BSS network in Afghanistan. More than 150 Outdoor Base Stations have been deployed so far. Convinced of the advantages brought by these BTSs, Roshan now favours Outdoor BTSs compared to Indoor BTSs.

CONCLUSION
Mobile Operators face very high pressure to lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of their BSS. Alcatel-Lucent proposes Outdoor Base Stations that enable to lower the BSS TCO in the range of 40%. These Outdoor Base Stations have been designed: to match point to point all the performances and robustness of [Indoor + Shelter + Air conditioning] solutions to lower all CAPEX and OPEX costs These solutions have been field-proven worldwide in the most difficult environments, with very positive feedback. Alcatel-Lucent further enriches its Outdoor BTS Portfolio, always making sure that the Hardware sold today will support tomorrows new features. For instance, the hardware sold today by AlcatelLucent fully supports GERAN Evolution ; Alcatel-Lucent customers will be able to activate the corresponding features by software upgrade only.

Only the MS capability (multislot class, EDGE /non-EDGE capability), the capacity available for PS, and the PS traffic load at a given point in time in the cell and have an influence on the throughput allocated to the transfer.
