Product Description

Benefits of NOKIA DCAR1-A PN C111148

Enables Connection of Radio Units: The primary benefit is its function as an adapter that allows various Nokia AirScale radio units (RUs) to connect to the digital unit (DU) or baseband unit (BBU). This connectivity is essential for the transmission and reception of radio signals.
Flexibility in Deployment Scenarios: It likely supports different interface types and configurations, providing flexibility in how radio units are deployed and connected to the central processing unit. This can accommodate various site layouts and network architectures.
Scalability of the AirScale System: As a component of the modular AirScale system, the DCAR1-A contributes to the overall scalability of the network. It allows operators to add or modify radio capacity as needed by connecting additional radio units through this adapter.
Standardized Interface: It provides a standardized interface between the digital unit and the radio unit, ensuring compatibility and simplifying the integration process. This reduces complexity and potential interoperability issues.
Support for High-Speed Data Transfer: Designed to handle the high data rates associated with modern mobile networks, including LTE and 5G NR. It ensures efficient transfer of IQ data between the DU and RUs.
Facilitates Remote Radio Head (RRH) Architecture: It is a key component in distributed RAN architectures where radio units are located remotely from the digital unit, enabling better coverage and reduced signal loss.
Potentially Supports CPRI/eCPRI Interfaces: Depending on the specific version and application, it likely supports either the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) or the enhanced CPRI (eCPRI) for efficient data transport over fiber optic links. eCPRI offers higher bandwidth and greater flexibility.
Contributes to Energy Efficiency: By enabling optimized placement of radio units and efficient data transfer, it indirectly contributes to the energy efficiency of the overall base station.
Part of a Robust and Field-Proven Platform: Being a Nokia product within the AirScale line, it benefits from Nokia’s extensive experience and the reliability of the AirScale platform.
