Spec Sheet
FlexWave™ nanoBTS™ EDGE/AMR
GSM-over-IP picocell for in-building coverage and capacity
The new FlexWave™ nanoBTS™ EDGE/AMR picocellular base station represents a significant step
on the migration path to higher data rates and more supported users. Based on the FlexWave
nanoBTS GSM/GPRS base station it delivers the same features and functionality for GSM voice
and GPRS but with the addition of high-speed EDGE data and improved voice quality and capacity
using AMR coding.
For operators moving to higher speed data networks by deploying EDGE, there is a strong
requirement to provide high quality coverage in buildings. With industry-leading GSM-over-IP
technology it is possible to bring cost effective high-speed coverage to the user where they most
need and use it.
