This Baicells Nova249 eNodeB (eNB) is an outdoor
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) product that operates in • Supports RET function AISG 2.0.
Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) mode. This eNB
provides users with high-speed broadband wireless
access to the Internet using 2x40 W output power
(2x2 MIMO with 40 W output each channel). This
unit is compact, lightweight, and easy to deploy.

The Nova249 eNB offers excellent performance,

helping operators to provide better coverage and
higher capacity.

This product has a standard one-year warranty; an

extended warranty is available.
