Flexi Lite BTS 2100 has high 10W + 10W output power
- No matching product from other vendors, they have only 5W + 5W is available

Flexi Lite BTS has macro BTS feature set
- Easy to plan and deploy micro or pico sites on existing macro network

Excellent MBB service capability due to macro BTS platform baseband
- Same HSPA peak rates as with macro BTS e.g. HSDPA 84 Mbps and HSUPA 23 Mbps*

Very suitable for various network applications
- Traffic hot spots, coverage fix, indoor coverage, indoor pico or DAS, high traffic density
solutions etc.
- This is due to small size, light weight, tunable output power from 10W+ 10W to 250mW +
250mW and due to tunable receiver sensitivity from single branch -121 dBm to -107 dBm and
support for 2-way diversity 124 dBm.

Unique installation options
- Indoor and outdoor 35C to +55C, IP65 with full performance
- Any installation position is possible and also limited space and inside cabinet is possible due
to silent active cooling
- Stack installation is possible to save site space and to have a nice site look
