Distributed Base Station DBS3900

This modular unit is designed to be installed far from other units — speeding up site selection and network construction and saving investment in repeaters. It enables flexible coverage along railway lines, especially tunnels and bridges. It consists of a Baseband Unit (BBU) and a number of Remote Radio Units (RRUs), creating a single powerful cell over multiple sites.  


The DBS3900 supports both GSM-R and eLTE. The GSM-R system can be upgraded to eLTE for Railway via software, with no need to replace hardware. Its low power consumption makes it possible to be powered by green energy, such as solar power, wind power, and biogas.

  • Huawei
    End-to-end Networking
    Simplified structure

    Consisting of only BBUs and RRUs, requires only a small number of spare parts and reduces maintenance costs

  • Huawei
    Flexible Installation
    Flexible installation

    RRUs can be installed on a tower, reducing feeder costs and feeder loss and increasing system gain by 3 dB to 5 dB, remote radio frequency technology enables distributed RRU installation, which is perfect for railways.

  • Huawei
    Converged Transmission
    Good Coverage

    Multiple-site cells extend cell coverage areas and reduce the number of inter-cell handovers previously required
