Introducing sysmoBTS 1020 (data sheet)

sysmoBTS 1002OD

The sysmoBTS 1020 is a new, low-power, small-formfactor IP-backhaul GSM BTS for medium coverage outdoor applications. Its key features are:

  • single TRX, 2 W RF output power

  • supreme cost efficiency

sysmoBTS 1020 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Rural cellular networks in lowest-ARPU regions

  • Rapidly deployable GSM networks

  • Private GSM networks (PBX style use)

  • Remote area GSM deployments, utilizing any IP-based satellite back-haul service

  • Offshore wind farms, oil rigs

  • Onboard coverage on maritime vessels (ferries, cruise ships, commercial vessels)

Benefit from sysmocom's world-class experience in all areas of cellular networks from RAN to core network, permitting flexible integration of other network elements like BSC into the BTS itself.
