SAN DIEGO-Qualcomm Inc. says it introduced the industry’s smallest Code Division Multiple Access base transceiver stations for cellular and personal communications services networks.
The QCell 519e and 508e BTSs are 26 inches long, 15 inches wide and eight inches high; they weigh 75 pounds. The self-contained units are designed for indoor or outdoor installations and accommodate 64 channel elements and 10 watts of radio-frequency output power.
The weatherproof BTSs do not require fans and withstand temperatures from -40 F to 126 F, said Qualcomm. The first products are scheduled to ship the second half of 1998.
