2.1 Product Positioning

The ZXSDR R8978 is an eight-path

LTE RRU

with high power. It operates with a

BBU

to cover new outdoor sites.

The ZXSDR R8978 works with a

BBU

to compose a complete

eNodeB

and implement the

functions such as radio transmission in the coverage area and radio channel control.

Figure 2-1

illustrates the position of the ZXSDR R8978 in a

LTE

network.
