BSC6910 UMTS Recommended Capacity
for Delivery

For the sake of network security, the actual capacity of a configured BSC6910 is much lower than the specified maximum
capacity. BSC6910s with excessively large capacity are not delivered in a large scale on the live network. Therefore, it is
recommended that the BSC6910 capacity be controlled for the initial network deployment.
For per BSC6910 the NodeB number should less than 600. If the RNC in Pool feature is enabled, the number of NodeBs
served by a BSC6910 is increased to be within 900.

EGPU
The EGPUa board can support multiple functions after the logical board type is set on the host software.

 NOTE:
If Logical function type is set to RMP, the EGPUa board is used for resource management processing. This function does not need to be configured.
The EGPUa board can be configured in ADD BRD.
If Logical function type is set to UCUP, the EGPUa board is used to process services on the UMTS RNC control plane and user plane.
If Logical function type is set to NASP, the EGPUa board is used for network assisted service processing.
If the EGPUa board is used to manage resources, it can:
Perform load sharing for BSC-level UMTS transmission resources.
Perform load sharing for BSC-level UMTS service processing resources and dynamically adjust resources on the UMTS control plane and user plane.
Automatically adjust UMTS NodeBs or cells on the board.
If the EGPUa board is used to process services on the UMTS RNC control plane and user plane, it can:
Process protocols on the UMTS RNC user plane. The protocols are the L2 protocols on the Uu interface and protocols on the Iu, Iur, and Iub
interfaces.
Process protocols on the UMTS RNC control plane. The protocols are the L3 protocols on the Uu interface and protocols on the Iu, Iur, and Iub
interfaces
