managetheFlexiZoneIndoorPicoBTSremotely.
ThePicoIndoorBTSutilizesaninternalBluetoothantenna.Theusefulrangefor
Bluetoothisinfluencedbytheinstallationandenvironmentofthesurroundings.If
multipleWiFiAccessPointsareoperatingnearby,therangecanbereducedas2.4GHz
WiFioperatesinthesamefrequencyspectrum.FormaximumBluetoothrangeaClass1
dongleisrequired.
FlexiZoneIndoorPicoBTSfeaturesaninternalBluetoothmodulewhichconsistsofan
on-boardBluetoothtransceiver.Thetranscieverprovidesa78channelEDR2.1
compliantBluetoothinterfaceusedforremoteMMIandmaintenanceoperations.All
requiredSWisloadedandinstalledontotheFlexiZoneIndoorPicoBTSBluetooth

TheBTSautomaticallydetectstheSWversionnumber,HWproductcode,version
numberandserialnumberduringthestart-up.Thisdatacanberetrievedremotely.The
BTScontrolsitsinternaloperation,ensuringthatanymalfunctionsorloss-of-serviceis

NewSWversionscanbedownloadedwhiletheBTSisinoperation.Softwarecanbe
uploadedtoBTSeitherlocally,withtheBTSSiteManager,orremotelyfromNetAct.Site
visitsarethereforeunnecessaryforroutineoperationandmaintenance(O&M)tasks.
Typically,alocalsoftwaredownloadisdoneonlywhentheNetActconnectionismissing,
forexample,duringthecommissioningprocess.Softwaredownloadscanberuninthe
backgroundoftheBTSoperation.Thenewsoftwarecanbeactivatedatanytime.A
rebootisrequiredinordertoactivatethesoftware.
TheBTSonlyusesdownloadablesoftware.Allsoftwarecanbedownloadedand
updatedfromNetAct.Astheprocedureiscentralized,upgradingSWforseveralBTSs
canbeperformedsimultaneouslyorindividually.
