1 IBBS20L Hardware Description

Overview
The IBBS20L applies to the DBS3900 base station. IBBS20L Hardware Description
describes the exterior, ports, indicators, and engineering specifications.

The RF modules for distributed base stations in this document include RRUs and
AAUs. The application scenarios, power distribution schemes, cable connections,
and cable installation of the RRUs and AAUs are the same. The following uses the
RRUs as an example.

The exteriors of components or cables in this document are for reference only. The
actual exteriors may be different.

NOTE

● Unless otherwise specified, in this document, LTE and eNodeB always include FDD, NB-IoT,
and TDD. In scenarios where they need to be distinguished, LTE FDD, LTE NB-IoT, and LTE
TDD are used. The same rules apply to eNodeB.
● Unless otherwise specified, in this document, NR and gNodeB always include FDD and TDD.
In scenarios where they need to be distinguished, NR FDD and NR TDD are used. The same
rules apply to gNodeB.
● In this document, "G" is short for GSM, "U" for UMTS, "L" for LTE FDD, "T" for LTE TDD, "M"
for LTE NB-IoT, and "N" for NR. In addition, "N (FDD)" is short for NR FDD and "N (TDD)" is
short for NR TDD.
