ALCATEL Board ALE BTS UAI16-1 with 16 digitALE BTS interfaces

ALCATEL Board ALE BTS UAI16-1 with 16 digitALE BTS interfaces is a telecom expansion board intended for compatible ALCATEL BTS equipment. The board provides sixteen digital BTS interfaces to increase port density and expand connectivity options within a base transceiver station. Designed for integration into existing BTS chassis, it supports routine maintenance, capacity upgrades and network scaling while preserving standard digital signalling and physical interface compatibility.

Advantages

This board increases the number of available digital BTS interfaces without requiring replacement of the host BTS unit, enabling incremental capacity growth. Its form factor and connector layout are compatible with ALCATEL BTS systems, allowing straightforward installation and predictable integration. The UAI16-1 ensures consistent digital interface handling and stable connections for voice and data traffic within the radio network infrastructure.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the board into a compatible ALCATEL BTS chassis following the manufacturer's mechanical and electrical installation procedures. Ensure the host system is powered down according to safety protocols before insertion or removal. After physical installation, verify mechanical seating, secure connectors and restore power. Use the BTS management interface or console to detect the new interfaces, perform any required configuration or mapping, and run diagnostic checks to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Operate and service the board only within the environmental and handling conditions specified for the host BTS equipment. Schedule configuration and testing windows to minimize impact on live traffic, and keep firmware and BTS software at compatible levels to ensure interface interoperability.
