RRU5251 Product Description 1 Overview

1 Overview

The RRU5251 is a remote radio unit (RRU). One or more RRU5251 modules constitute the
radio frequency (RF) part of a distributed base station. The RRU5251 can be mounted onto a
pole, stand, or concrete wall. It also can be installed close to antennas to shorten the feeder
length, reduce feeder loss, and improve system coverage. RRUs modulate and demodulate
baseband signals and RF signals, process data, amplify power, and detect standing waves.
