• Add 5G in co-loc w/ 4G site in NSA with band 4G, FDD

• For FOA sites (B42), anchoring band will be B1 or B20
• Replace TCU/SIU with R6471 with Time/Phase Synch source (GPS GM, 1588v2) and 10Gbps ports
• Both scenarios are shown here; GPON and MW. Dark fiber to be considered for some sites as well
SIU TCU to R6k migration
› There is a huge installed base of TCU SIU routers in
our customers network

› R6k is our recommended replacement for SIU TCU

– It supports Abis over IP
SIU TCU to R6k migration
business potential

› Customer Benefits
– Smooth migration from legacy aggregation unit to 5G ready Cell
Site Router

– Integration of the RAN domain with the Transport domain unlocks

further savings and features such as Network slicing and
automation
6471+tdm1001
value proposition
› Advanced synchronization support &
RAN Grand Master for synchronization
(macro and small cells)
› Abis over IP support for legacy GSM
› Part of Ericsson Radio System –
aligned O&M, autointegration
› Complete Security feature suite

› SIU → 6471+TDM1001 Replacement is

seamless!

Summary
Router 6000 is 5G ready and is positioned as
SIU/TCU replacement now

Router 6000 is integrated with ERS and the transition

from SIU/TCU to R6471 is seamless

The SIU/TCU is a cell site box, Router 6000 can be

positioned both as a cell site box or complete MBH
Router 6000 portfolio

Router 6000 supports 10G interfaces, has higher

capacity and is seamless IP/MPLS, SDN ready
