"in an UMTS installation, the Node-B, RNC, and GSN -- in one package"
You don't expect us to believe you know what that means, do you?

I understand what you mean Mark, but not everyone can be a radio network designer / engineer or should be one.

I was just poking fun to let them know that none of the readers understand what any of that means -- I certainly don't. It's jargon to any of us without an accompanying definition.

Node-B is a term used in UMTS to denote the BTS (base transceiver station). In contrast with GSM base stations, Node B uses WCDMA as air transport technology. As in all cellular systems, such as UMTS and GSM, Node B contains radio frequency transmitter(s) and the receiver(s) used to communicate directly with the mobiles, which move freely around it. In this type of cellular networks the mobiles cannot communicate directly with each other but have to communicate with the BTSs.

RNC (Radio Network Controller) - The main element in the radio network subsystem that controls the use and reliability of radio resources.

GSN - GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Support Node
