High-quality Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment

We provide refurbished Radio Access Network equipment from the world’s leading telecom and networking OEMs, offering cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable solutions.

High-quality Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment

Radio Access Network (RAN) is the infrastructure that enables wireless communication between end-user devices and the core network. It consists of Baseband Units (BBUs), Remote Radio Units (RRUs), and fronthaul/backhaul connections, facilitating seamless data transmission over 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. RAN optimises signal coverage, capacity, and network efficiency, supporting diverse applications such as mobile broadband, IoT, and private networks.

Baseband Units (BBU): The processing hub of Radio Access Networks

Baseband Units (BBUs) are the central processing hubs of a Radio Access Network (RAN), enabling signal processing, modulation, and network coordination. They connect to Remote Radio Units (RRUs) and support traditional, centralised (C-RAN), and virtualised (O-RAN) architectures for flexible and efficient network operations.

Key features:

  • Signal processing & modulation – Handles encoding, decoding, and modulation of radio signals for seamless connectivity.
  • Network coordination – Manages communication between Remote Radio Units (RRUs) and the core network.
  • Scalability & flexibility – Supports traditional RAN, Centralised RAN (C-RAN), and Open RAN (O-RAN) architectures.
  • Multi-technology support – 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks.
  • Energy efficiency – Designed to optimise power consumption and reduce operational costs.

Available BBU types:

  • Traditional BBUs – Used in legacy RAN architectures (2G, 3G, 4G, and early 5G).
  • Centralised BBUs (C-RAN) – Enhances resource pooling, scalability, and cost efficiency.
  • Open RAN BBUs (O-DU & O-CU) – Enables multi-vendor interoperability and cost-effective deployment.

Remote Radio Units (RRU): Enhancing signal transmission and network coverage

Remote Radio Units (RRUs) are key RAN components, enabling wireless signal transmission between mobile devices and the network. Positioned near antennas, they convert and amplify signals from Baseband Units (BBUs), enhancing coverage, capacity, and efficiency across 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks.

Key features:

  • Signal transmission & amplification – Converts and amplifies signals between Baseband Units (BBUs) and mobile devices.
  • Multi-technology support – 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks.
  • Multi-band operation – Supports multiple frequency bands for efficient spectrum use.
  • Low-latency communication – Enables faster and more reliable wireless connectivity.

Available RRU types:

  • Standard RRUs – Used in macrocell deployments for 2G, 3G, 4G, and early 5G networks.
  • Multi-band RRUs – Supports multiple frequency bands in a single unit, reducing hardware footprint.
  • High-power RRUs – Designed for rural or wide-area coverage, delivering extended signal reach.

Fronthaul and backhaul equipment: enabling high-speed network connectivity and data transport

Fronthaul and backhaul equipment is essential for enabling high-speed data transport in a Radio Access Network. Fronthaul connects Remote Radio Units (RRUs) to Baseband Units (BBUs), while backhaul links the RAN to the core network. Using fibre, microwave, or satellite, it ensures low-latency, high-capacity communication for 4G, 5G, and beyond.

Key features:

  • Reliability and redundancy – Ensures network stability with failover mechanisms and diverse routing.
  • High-speed data transport – Enables rapid communication between RAN components and the core network.
  • Low latency – Optimised for real-time voice, video, and data transmission.
  • Multi-technology support – Fibre optics, microwave, millimeter-wave, and satellite connections.
  • Scalability – Supports increasing bandwidth demands for 4G, 5G, and future networks.
