KRC161649/1 Ericsson Ericsson Radio System Radio Remote Unit

The Ericsson KRC161649/1 is a Radio 2217 B1, a remote radio unit (RRU) designed for LTE mobile network deployments operating on Band 1 (2100 MHz). This radio head unit is engineered for tower-mounted or pole-mounted installation, connecting via fibre to baseband units at ground level to deliver 4G wireless coverage.

The Radio 2217 series forms part of Ericsson’s Radio Access Network (RAN) portfolio, typically deployed within Ericsson Radio System (ERS) architectures. These units are used by mobile network operators to extend or densify LTE coverage across urban, suburban and rural environments.

As mobile networks continue to evolve towards 5G, the Radio 2217 B1 remains a viable solution for maintaining and expanding existing 4G infrastructure. It is commonly found in legacy network deployments where operators require cost-effective capacity solutions or replacement units for existing installations.
