1 Introduction to Flexi Lite BTS
Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi Lite BTS (FQGA - 2100 MHz frequency variant) is a
small base station optimized for indoor and outdoor micro-cell environment. The main
application of this extremely compact base station is to help deliver an improved mobile
broadband experience by enhancing coverage and capacity both outdoor and indoor.
Flexi Lite BTS can be used to add capacity cells in urban and dense urban areas if new
frequency carriers for macro cells are not available. It can be also deployed to cover
traffic hotspots or to fill network coverage holes as well as improve coverage inside
buildings, for example at airports and railway stations. It provides an efficient way to
meet market growth while simultaneously offloading voice and data traffic from the
mobile Communications Service Provider’s (CSP) macro network. Flexi Lite BTS can be
used for both micro cell and pico cell applications.
Flexi Lite BTS is all-in-one device equipped with System Module functionality, RF
module, and built-in IP transport that enable a cost-effective site solution and high-
speed connections.
Output power is high enough to support indoor coverage building from outdoor sites. It
is also high enough to drive distributed antenna system for indoor coverage. It also
supports 2TX MIMO.

Typical micro-cell outdoor antenna deployments are below roof-top in heights of about
5 to 15 meters above the ground level and on poles. Typical indoor deployments include
exhibition halls, shopping malls, large office spaces, airports. Antenna height in indoor
installations is typically from 2 to 5 meters above ground level. In indoors Flexi Lite BTS
is to be mounted either on the wall or the ceiling or connected to an external distributed
antenna system.
Flexi Lite BTS is connected to RNC through 3GPP 25.430 UTRAN Iub interface, general
aspects and principles.
