- Buying Criteria
- Capacity and Expandability
- Reflects the number of Base Transmission Systems (BTS) that are supported by a single Base Station Controller, the range of expansion options, call capacity, and packet data capacity.
- Density and Footprint
- Reflects the economic impact of a BSC solution in terms of space requirements and efficiency. The size of the unit, floor space footprint, and installed height factor in the consideration. In addition, the density of the solution is evaluated by examining the total number of Erlangs supported for the space volume required.
- Core Network Flexibility
- Backhaul network flexibility evaluates types of transmission options connectivity to the BTS as well as to the MSC. The number and types of different interfaces are evaluated along with architectural strengths and weaknesses.
