Market demands for a more efficient way of building out GSM have given rise to a new model of radio base station in Ericsson's renowned family of RBS 2000 products. RBS 2216 (for indoor deployment) and RBS 2116 (for outdoor deployment) feature a common building practice for combining GSM and WCDMA on the same footprint. The design thus meets operator demands for modernizing radio networks. Ericsson's objective when designing RBS 2×16 was to bring down the operator costs of establishing and operating radio networks. The authors describe the thinking behind, and outline some of the most important operator benefits of, this new product.
