Fortress LTE 4W eNodeB (RN2404)
Connectivity with Certainty
The Fortress® LTE 4W eNodeB (RN2404) is a member of the Fortress LTE family of high performance Evolved Node B (eNodeB) base stations. The 4W eNodeB is a Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) optimized, single carrier LTE base station that houses digital baseband and Radio Frequency (RF) circuits in a compact, environmentally hardened enclosure. The small size of the 2404 reduces deployment and training time, making it ideal for vehicle and man-portable mast mount integration, and the optimum choice for public safety, tactical cellular and private network deployments worldwide.
- Now FCC Certified
- SWaP Optimized
- Ideal for Vehicle Mount & Man-portable Mast Mount Integration
About General Dynamics Fortress LTE
Fortress LTE delivers an end-to-end solution providing ‘always on’ high speed network access to vital information including voice, video, data, text and chat using any 3GPP compliant LTE enabled device. Fortress LTE solutions are frequency agile, customizable for specific applications and designed for harsh, permanent or temporary deployments where network access may not be available. Fortress LTE is a cost-effective, single vendor end-to-end solution consisting of:
- 4G Core Network
- Radio Access Network (Base Station)
- User Equipment (UE)
Features
- SWaP Optimized – Reduces overall system size, resulting in decreased deployment time and cost
- Ideal for vehicle mount and man-portable mast mount integration
- Quickly change operating band via software control from management system
- Waveform Hardening – Enables operation in the presence of deliberate jamming attempts
What Sets Us Apart
- Compact Design – The 2404 eNodeB combines digital baseband processing and radio circuits into a compact rugged, water and dust resistant enclosure. The Size Weight and Power (SWaP) optimized design and high performance enable the 2404 to meet operational requirements using the minimal amount of eNodeB’s, reducing system size, setup time and cost.
- High Performance – The combination of the high performance and compact size of the 2404 allow it to meet any operational requirement using the minimal amount of eNodeBs. This optimization minimizes the system size, reduces deployment and training time and saves cost.
- Standards Compliant – The 2404 eNodeB complies with the global 3GPP LTE standards to ensure interoperability with 3GPP compliant User Equipment over the LTE air interface protocols. The 2404 implements the standard S1 interface to the Mobility Management Entity and Serving Gateway in a 3GPP Evolved Packet Core.
- Frequency Agile – The RN2404 eNodeB supports quad-band and the operating frequency can be quickly changed via the Element Manager. This agility is a great benefit for tactical and on-the-move deployments where the eNodeB can tune to the most interference free channel.
- Interference Mitigation - The RN2404 eNodeB implements sophisticated real-time algorithm to detect and avoid external interference. This agility allows the RN2404 to coexist with other systems or to respond to deliberate interference or jamming attempts.
