Flexi Multiradio 10 System Module Outdoor
The outdoor Flexi Multiradio 10 System Module FSMF consists of:
• casing of the height of three standard rack units
• weatherproof core module
• fans
The fan assembly is connected with a cable to the core module. All these items form a single sales item.
The core module has the control and baseband processing functionality of the BTS. It contains also up to
two integrated Gigabit Ethernet transport interfaces for the backhaul.
Additional optional equipment that can be installed in the System Module casing is:
• up to two capacity extension sub-modules
• one transport sub-module
• one power distribution sub-module
The capacity extension sub-modules are connected with cables to the core module. Other two sub-
modules are connected through internal connectors. The System Module has no backplane. All modules
are outdoor-capable, IP65-sealed modules.
Table: Flexi Multiradio 10 System Module outdoor air interface peak throughput shows the total air interface
throughput of a Flexi Multiradio 10 System Module, which can vary depending on the combination of the
modules used. Note that MIMO is supported for both HSPA and LTE.

The GSM/EDGE capacity is measured as the number of transceivers. The WCDMA capacity is measured
as the number of Channel Elements (CEs), while the HSPA capacity is measured as megabits per second.
WCDMA traffic dimensioning principles are described in other documents (see Plan and Dimension
category in the library). HSPA users and data might have an impact on the number of AMR calls.
Additionally, LTE has a bandwidth and cell count limitation. For more information, see Feature Descriptions
and Instructions in LTE Operating Documentation library.
