About This Document
This document is intended for anyone who will be installing the Baicells Neutrino-224 Indoor
2x125mW eNodeB (eNB). The 3GPP standards-based Neutrino eNB provides broadband
wireless access to Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) and Time
Division Duplexing (TDD) backhaul networks. The information includes planning
considerations, installation procedures, and configuration guidance.
The eNB GUI may vary based on software version and based on FDD or TDD operation. This
document includes both FDD and TDD configuration fields based on:
•FDD software version BaiBS_QATA_1.3.3
•TDD software version BaiBS_QATA_2.2.2

1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Baicells Neutrino-224 product is an indoor 2x125mW small cell eNodeB (eNB) (Figure 1-
1). The eNB provides broadband wireless access to 3GPP standard Frequency Division
Duplexing (FDD) and Time Division Duplexing (TDD) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) backhaul
networks. The Neutrino eNB is the equivalent of a Wi-Fi access point, except that it runs on
LTE technology. Using LTE technology ensures an extremely fast, reliable, and secure
connection to the network.
The Neutrino eNB makes use of the current LTE transmission resources to enable low-cost
coverage and increased capacity for up to 48 (FDD) or 32 (TDD) concurrent users. The small-
sized eNB is easy to deploy. Each eNB comes pre-configured so that installation is simplified
and connection to the core network can be plug-and-play.
Figure 1-1: Neutrino-224 eNB
Baicells provides a local and Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) application to configure
and manage the eNB. Baicells also provides a cloud-based solution called CloudCore, which
enables service providers with an account to access network management applications
through the Internet. The Baicells CloudCore provides an Operations Management Console
(OMC) for element management across multiple sites and a Business and Operations Support
System (BOSS) for subscriber management.
NOTE: All GUI applications (UE GUI, eNB GUI, OMC, BOSS) are documented in the
Baicells Configuration & Network Administration Guide. However, the Neutrino eNB
is a newer product based on the latest development software; the eNB GUI and
OMC menus and fields may differ from other Baicells products.

The cloud-based Evolved Packet Core (EPC) functions may be managed by Baicells to provide
high-speed packet processing and high-quality mobile broadband services end-to-end.
The system architecture, including Neutrino-224 eNBs, is illustrated in Figure 1-2.
