Functional description
Functional overview
The FBBA sub-module is an optional extension to the Flexi Multiradio BTS System
Module.
One FBBA provides a hardware baseband capacity for up to three 20 MHz LTE cells
with 2x2 MIMO.
FBBA is 1U high and it is IP65 ingress protected.
FBBA operates at the temperature range from -35 to + 55 C.
Figure 35 presents the isometric view of the FBBA.

Interfaces
The FBBA provides the following external interfaces:
LEDs
The FBBA has three tri-color LEDs on the front panel to indicate the operational status
of the sub-module and all fault conditions during operation.
The LED indications of the sub-module are listed and explained in the table Extension
sub-module LEDs (from left to right).
