This digital Node B can be used with existing Remote Radio Heads (9341 or 9442 RRH) and with the Alcatel-Lucent 9332 radio Compact Node B (9332 rCompact). The 9326 is shipped LTE Ready which is enabled with the addition of 9426 LTE software.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9332 radio Compact Node B (9332 rCompact) can be used with the Alcatel-Lucent 9322 dCompact as a distributed Node B solution. It offers cost-effective entry into the UMTS market for areas where site selection is difficult. It is particularly suited to macro-cellular application and to sites where installation constraints prevent the use of macro Node B.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9341 Remote Radio Head portfolio (9341 RRH) is part of Alcatel-Lucent distributed Node B portfolio, a set of products enabling operators to deploy radio module functions remotely from the digital portion of the Node B.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9351 Wireless Quality Analyzer (9351 WQA) allows optimization of the UTRAN network based on traces generated by the Radio Network Controller (RNC) and thereby increases the Quality of Service (QoS) delivered by the network to the end-user.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9352 Wireless Provisioning System (9352 WPS) allows network administrators to configure, change and optimize parameters of the W-CDMA access network. Configuration management of mobile networks is a complex and tedious task and this provisioning system has been specifically designed to cope with this complexity. The system is a Java® based solution running on Microsoft Windows®-based desktops. It includes a generic engine providing a wide range of configuration management capabilities.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9353 Wireless Management System (9353 WMS) enables network administrators to manage Alcatel-Lucent W-CDMA/HSPA access network equipment and additionally, some ATM-based infrastructure. This system is carrier-grade, and can be combined with other wireless-aware specialized applications for example the Alcatel-Lucent 9352 WPS and the Alcatel-Lucent 9359 NPO. This enables efficient operational procedures which deliver CAPEX and OPEX savings to wireless operators.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9359 Network Performance Optimizer (9359 NPO) is a powerful performance management monitoring and reporting tool for W-CDMA/HSPA networks.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9365 Base Station Router Femto (9365 BSR Femto) addresses the domestic market for high-speed data via localized in-building wireless service provision. With a Femtocell Base Station Router, a user can be assured of a high Quality of Service W-CDMA facility, with the advantages of voice support and UMTS mobility both within the home and outside.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9370 Radio Network Controller (9370 RNC) is responsible for the control and management of radio resources in the UMTS/W-CDMA network, and is an integral part of Alcatel-Lucent's UTRAN architecture. This RNC offers the flexibility and reliability necessary to ensure cost-efficient and rapid deployment of the UTRAN whilst addressing the critical aspects of service availability and the continuity of evolution in a highly competitive W-CDMA market place.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9391 Macrocell Node B (9391 Macrocell) is a high capacity and extremely flexible Node B that addresses a variety of network deployment and growth scenarios including multi-band deployments (for example, 1900 and 850 MHz carriers in a single cabinet).

The Alcatel-Lucent 9396 digital 2U Node B (9396 d2U) is designed to enable operators to economically deploy 1-, 2- or 3-sector base stations within space constrained locations. Digital Node B installations provide an economic and aesthetically pleasing way of deploying wide coverage with increasing capacity capabilities in urban areas, avoiding the use of traditional, large, macrocellular equipment.

Alcatel-Lucent HSPA+ enables W-CDMA operators to offer compelling high-bandwidth, low-latency data applications and services, such as video streaming, e-mail and gaming. These new capabilities help operators generate additional revenues, differentiate their service offerings and strengthen their competitive position in the marketplace.
