The FW-300i from Blinq Networks is an Integrated Wireless Solution that operates in the LTE bands 42/43 from 3.40-3.80 GHz and LTE band 48 (CBRS) from 3.55-3.70 GHz. It is a tri-sector and tri-carrier Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Node B (eNB) that is easy to set up, fits anywhere, and provides incredible network capacity. This solution supports 3GPP Release 10 of LTE with 2x2 MIMO design and all LTE TDD configurations. It delivers a transmit power of 2 W (~33 dBm) and has an EIRP of 199 W (~53 dBm). This solution integrates a GNSS antenna that supports GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou constellations along with an option for external GPS. It is CBRS Category-2 certified and supports downlink carrier aggregation (up to 3 carriers, 3CC).
This dual-polarized 45° wireless solution provides a gain of 17 dBi, a front-to-back ratio of more than 30 dB and has a VSWR of less than 1.5:1. It offers a port-to-port isolation of 15 dB, has an azimuth beamwidth of 180°, and an elevation beamwidth of 45°. The FW-300i includes support for various OAM protocols such as RESTCONF (also for EMS integration), HTTPS, SSH, SNMPv2c, and TR-069. It can be deployed effortlessly anywhere on the side of the building or a water tower, boosting the capacity by three-fold at one-third the price.
The FW-300i supports up to 288 user equipment (UEs) per base unit while delivering a data rate of up to 110 Mbps per carrier and less than 330 Mbps per base unit. It requires a DC supply of 48 V and consumes less than 180 W of power. This equipment is available in an IP56-rated enclosure that measures 22.4 x 13.78 x 8.9 inches.
