In a sample 10 BBU deployment,
RRHs annually consume 78,840 kWh
of power, generate 30,000 BTU/hour of heat and take up 15 bays of rack space!
DAS point of interface generates an additional 2,400 BTU/hour of heat and consumes 3 additional racks of space!

Introducing CPRI Digital Donor (CDD)
digital interface to CommScope ERA® DAS
The ERA CDD is the latest result of the
long-standing collaboration between
Nokia and Commscope. CDD provides a
cost- and space-efficient alternative to traditional analog connections with RRHs.
With ERA, you don't need this equipment anymore.
