Overview

Product information

The Huawei DBS5900 is a high-performance, distributed base station designed specifically for eLTE (enterprise LTE) and private wireless network deployments. It extends the capabilities of previous platforms by offering a modular architecture combining a baseband unit (BBU5900) with remote unit modules (e.g. RRU5904, pRRU/RRH), linked via CPRI or Ethernet over fiber. This enables flexible installation in varied environments—indoor, outdoor, industrial, or enterprise campuses.

Engineered for modern private mobile applications, the DBS5900 supports intelligent access control, radio resource management, mobility features, multimedia services, and mission-critical reliability. It is optimized for LTE and can support converged technology scenarios in localized, private, or campus networks where performance, low latency, and reliability are essential.

Carritech supports operators deploying DBS5900 systems by sourcing and supplying BBUs, remote radios, power supplies, and accessories from trusted global suppliers. Each item is quality-tested to ensure compatibility, helping maintain operational integrity for private LTE deployments.

Features

Key features

  • Distributed Architecture: Comprises indoor BBU5900 and one or more remote radio units (RRUs or pRRUs), enabling scalable and flexible deployment.

  • Private LTE / eLTE Focus: Built for secure, high-performance LTE networks in enterprise or industrial environments.

  • High Radio Capacity: Supports multiple carriers, high throughput LTE (e.g., up to ~100 Mbps downlink per carrier depending on spectrum band and RRU capacity).

  • Flexible Frequency Support: Available in various regional LTE bands, including TDD and FDD configurations.

  • Carrier Grade Reliability: Designed to achieve system availability targets of ≥ 99.999% with fast recovery times and high MTBF.

  • Compact & Lightweight Radios: Remote units support pole/wall mounting, are weather-resistant, and suitable for indoor/outdoor use.

  • Efficient Energy Use: Intelligent power management and passive cooling options reduce operational costs and minimize failure risk.

  • Centralized O&M Support: Manageable via local craft interface or standard network platforms; supports unified configuration, fault detection, and performance monitoring.

Technical Details

Technical information

    • RRU Power: Typically -48 VDC or optional AC feed.

    • Operating Temperatures: BBU: 0 °C to +45 °C; RRU: -40 °C to +55 °C.

    • Humidity Tolerance: Up to 95%, non-conditioning.

    • Ingress Protection: RRU units rated at IP65 for outdoor durability.

  • Reliability & Availability:

    • Target availability ≥ 99.999%.

    • MTBF ≥ 150,000 hours.

    • Repair or replacement time (MTTR) under 1 hour typically, and system reset within minutes.

  • Mounting Modes:

    • BBU: Indoor cabinet or rack installation.

    • Remote Radios: Pole, wall, or rooftop mounting options based on deployment site.

  • Management Features:

    • Configuration and monitoring via craft port or centralized O&M systems.

    • Remote updates, fault monitoring, and performance data available via SNMP or proprietary protocols.

History

Ownership & marketing history

Time Period Brand / Company Role / Notes
2016 – 2022 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Developed and marketed the DBS5900 as part of its eLTE and private network solution suite, positioning it for enterprise and industrial wireless deployments.
2022 – Present Huawei (Limited Support) DBS5900 remains supported under existing service contracts, though attention is shifting to newer platforms like DBS5900A and DBS5950 for expanded capabilities.
Present (Secondary Market) Independent Resellers & Support Specialists (e.g., Carritech) Carritech sources tested BBU5900 units, remote radio modules, and power accessories to support continued deployment and spares availability in live eLTE networks.
