INTRODUCTION applications • Supports Cellular IoT (CIoT) Evolved Packet System
(EPS) optimized data transmission
The Baicells Nebula246 is an outdoor Narrowband
Internet of Things (NB-IoT) eNodeB (eNB) that • Supports Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)
operates in Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) bidirectional authentication and soft/hard
encryption transmission to ensure secure data
mode. It provides wired access to the backbone transmission
network to offer Internet of Things (IoT) data access
• Higher device safety certificate to prevent external
