Transmission
Once we know the Abis configuration we also need to know if that is
supported by BTS hardware
We also need to know if we need hubs or protection
Transmission Units in UltraSite & Metrosite
Interconnects BTS`s
Connects other components of the network such as BSC`s, and other
BTS`s through the Abis interface.
Transmission media can be either
a radio link transmission or

E1/T1 wire line transmission

UltraSite and Metrosite BTSs support 16, 32 and 64 kbit/s data rates for
transceiver RF signalling via Abis interface
O&M signalling data rate can be 16, 32 or 64 kbit/s
