ECU the high Power EDGE CU

Excellent Link Budget:
High Output Power GMSK: 68 W 8PSK: 43 W

Improved receiver sensitivity

Advanced pre-distortion for excellent
power efficiency High MTBF, hot plug-in Available in all frequency bands
850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz

All Siemens CUs (GCU, ECU, FCU) support their complete frequency band e.g. the xCU GSM900 supports 876 915/921 960 MHz (includes E-GSM, P-GS, GSM-RE and R-GSM)
