Foreword
BTS3900 is the fourth generation base station

developed by Huawei. It features a multi-mode
modular design and supports multiple working
modes: GSM(GO) mode, UMTS(UO) mode ,LTE(LO)
mode ,GSM+UMTS(GU) dual modes, GSM+LTE(GL)
dual modes, UMTS+LTE(UL) dual modes through
different software configuration. Two BBU3900s can
be interconnected to support GSM/UMTS/LTE triplemode operation

Subrack Numbering
Subrack numbers for 3900 series base stations
In physical cabinets, physical subracks (such as

BBU3900, RFU) exist at a fixed place
Some optional peripheral devices (such as EMS, GPS

receiver) can be configured in an independent cabinet
for consistency and expansibility
The numbering rules of the subrack can apply each

type of cabinet. Users cannot define the fixed subrack
numbers, but can define the numbers of the extension
subracks

The IBBS200T or IBBS200D battery

backup cabinets can be configured in
scenarios that require long-time power
backup. Output power: providing 48 V
DC power supply .
The IBBS200T and IBBS200D are used

outdoors
The IBBS200T has a built-in air

conditioner, that can operate in a hightemperature environment. The
IBBS200D dissipates heat in directventilation mode

Summary
We have learned the BTS3900 as detailed, which

includes logical structure, hardware system
structure, components, capability, working mode
and location of each module of BTS3900; In addition,
we have also learned the hardware configuration,
cable connection, system expansion and networking
about BTS3900
