How can I make sure I get the right part number?

Order by the exact product number, not the model name alone. For example, Ericsson radios use KRC numbers and Nokia AirScale units use product codes such as 473096A for ABIA. We confirm the part number and hardware version before you order, and photos of the actual unit label are available on request. Ericsson KRC numbers explained →

Are the product images photos of the actual unit?

Product images are for reference. Photos and label pictures of the actual unit are available on request before you order.

Can a newer baseband directly replace an older one?

Not always. Compatibility depends on the radios, software release and licences on site. For example, the Nokia ABIO needs an ASIB or ASIL common unit, and a Huawei g-series UBBP board is intended for the BBU5900. Check compatibility before ordering. Huawei BBU5900 board compatibility →

Do software licences come with the hardware?

No. Capacity and feature licences are managed per base station by the network, not stored on the board. Replacing or adding hardware does not transfer licences.

Which Ericsson basebands work with Radio 2219 and Radio 4415?

Ericsson Radio System radios connect to basebands such as the Baseband 6630, 6631 and 6648 over CPRI fibre, subject to the software release on site. Ericsson radio and baseband compatibility →
