The ip.access nanoGSM BSC (basestation controller) handles and routes traffic between nanoBTS™ picocells and your existing core network.
The nanoGSM BSC handles and routes all traffic between the picocells and your existing Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN).
The BSC is a modular unit that uses IP connectivity between the nanoBTSs and the BSC and a standard circuit-based A-interface to the MSC and SGSN. There is also an option to connect into architectures with softswitch MSCs.
The BSC provides channel allocation and controls the power level algorithms and handover procedures for the picocells. The unit is engineered for high availability by combining selective redundancy with fast restart capabilities.
The BSC combines a processor module, signalling gateway, media gateway and frame relay gateway. It is housed in an 8-slot compact PCI chassis for easy installation and expansion in a low cost package.
