A telecom mast with antennas and a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) is a common infrastructure component found in mobile telecommunications networks. Here's what each of these elements does:
Antennas:
Antennas are used to transmit and receive radio signals in the different frequency bands.
These antennas are typically mounted on the mast at a certain height to provide optimal coverage within a specific area.
Antennas are responsible for establishing communication links with mobile devices (such as cell phones) within their coverage area.
Base Transceiver Station (BTS):
The BTS is a crucial component of the mobile network infrastructure.
It consists of radio module, baseband unit and antennas responsible for transmitting and receiving radio signals to and from mobile devices.
The BTS controls the radio interface with mobile devices, handles call setup, manages handovers between cells, and allocates radio resources. BTS also manages the radio channels and implements functions such as encryption and modulation/demodulation of signals.
Coverage:
Together, the antennas and BTS provide coverage within a specific geographic area, known as a cell.
The coverage area of a single BTS depends on factors such as antenna height, transmit power, antenna gain, and surrounding terrain.
Multiple BTSs are deployed across a region to ensure continuous coverage and capacity for mobile users.The coverage area of each BTS typically overlaps with neighboring BTSs, allowing for seamless handovers as mobile users move between cells.
In summary, a telecom mast with antennas and a BTS is a fundamental component of mobile telecommunications infrastructure. It enables the provision of voice and data services to mobile users within its coverage area and forms part of the larger network of BTSs that collectively provide coverage across a wider geographic region.
