Datasheet - Ericsson Ers 2460

The Ericsson Radio 2460 is a low-band, multi-band remote radio unit (RRU) within the Ericsson Radio System designed primarily for LTE macro-cell coverage. It is a triple-band solution that integrates Bands 8 (900 MHz), 20 (800 MHz), and 28 (700 MHz) into a single unit, making it a "street macro" or macro-grade choice for rural and suburban deployments where deep indoor penetration and wide-area coverage are essential. Technical Specifications and Architecture

Based on available data from sources like sparepart4you.com and technical handouts: Part Number: KRC 161 831/1.

Radio Configuration: Standard configurations include 2T2R or 2T4R, supporting LTE MIMO.

Supported Bandwidths: 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz, depending on the specific band and software configuration. Interfaces:

Fronthaul: Optical fiber interfaces using CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface), typically rated at 10.3 Gbps.

Connectors: Standard 4.3-10 antenna connectors for RF paths.

Cooling & Maintenance: Features a passive convection cooling system (fanless design) to reduce moving parts and maintenance requirements. ericsson ers 2460 datasheet

Environmental Operating Range: Built for extreme outdoor conditions from −40 °C to +55 °C. Performance and Key Features

Spectrum Consolidation: By supporting three low-frequency bands (700/800/900 MHz), it significantly reduces the amount of hardware needed on a tower, lowering rental costs and site complexity.

Ericsson Silicon Integration: Like other modern ERS radios, it utilizes Ericsson Silicon for high processing capacity and improved energy efficiency, often consuming 30–60% less power than previous generations.

Network Compatibility: It is frequently paired with Baseband 6631 units in low-capacity or modernization configurations to support GSM, UMTS, and LTE concurrently.

Modernization Ready: While primarily an LTE unit, it is part of a portfolio that supports Spectrum Sharing and "Deep Sleep" energy-saving modes, allowing it to hibernate during low-traffic periods (e.g., at night) to cut OPEX. Installation and Physical Footprint

The unit is designed for rapid deployment with Ericsson's rail mounting system, which uses a unique one-bolt installation method. It can be mounted on poles, walls, or masts.

Ericsson Radio 2460 (part of the Ericsson Radio System) is a low-band, multi-band remote radio unit (RRU) designed to provide wide-area coverage and excellent signal penetration for LTE (4G) networks. It is particularly effective for rural and suburban deployments where long-range macro-cell performance is critical. The Pulse of the Valley: A Technical Tale

The engineers in the small valley of Oakhaven called it "The Silent Guardian." To everyone else, it was just the Ericsson Radio 2460

, a 37.5 kg block of aluminum alloy bolted to a rail at the top of the ridge.

For years, Oakhaven was a "dead zone." The town sat deep in a geographic bowl where signals from the distant city simply couldn't reach. But when the local carrier decided to modernize, they didn't just want a signal; they wanted a foundation. They chose the Radio 2460 because it spoke the three "low-band languages" the valley needed: Band 8 (900 MHz) Band 20 (800 MHz) Band 28 (700 MHz) On installation day, the technician, Sarah, appreciated the one-bolt installation

system. As she tightened the final 5 mm bolt and connected the SFP modules , she knew that even if the temperature dropped to in the winter or hit in a summer heatwave, the 2460’s passive cooling

would keep it humming without a single mechanical fan to fail. Once powered up at its standard Multi-Standard Support A key selling point of the

, the radio began its work. Its 2Tx/4Rx architecture pushed data across the valley floor, penetrating thick brick walls and reaching basement workshops that hadn't seen a "bar" of signal in a decade. It wasn't just about faster downloads; it was the spectrum efficiency. By combining three bands into one hardware footprint, the carrier saved on site rental and energy, using roughly to light up an entire township.

Now, as the sun sets over Oakhaven, the Radio 2460 sits silently on its pole, resisting wind loads of up to

Multi-Standard Support

A key selling point of the ERS 2460 is its ability to run GSM, WCDMA, and LTE concurrently within the same physical box. This allows telecom operators to upgrade from 3G to 4G without replacing the entire cabinet.

4. Physical and Environmental Specifications

Power Wiring (Critical for Industrial Use)

The ERS 2460 uses a removable terminal block for DC power.
Wire gauge: 12–24 AWG (stranded or solid).
Polarity: V+ (positive), V- (negative), and chassis ground screw.
Redundant power: Two independent DC feeds can be connected (diode-ORed internally).

Comparison with Competitors

Verdict: The ERS 2460 can be a cost-effective alternative in existing Ericsson/Avaya environments, but it lags in stacking speed and dynamic routing compared to modern switches.
