KRC161670/1 Ericsson Ericsson Radio System Radio Remote Unit

The Ericsson KRC161670/1 is a Radio 2219 B8 remote radio unit (RRU) designed for LTE mobile network deployments operating on Band 8 (900 MHz). This unit forms part of Ericsson’s Radio System portfolio, providing the radio frequency interface between the baseband unit and the antenna system in a distributed base station architecture.

The Radio 2219 is typically deployed in macro cell sites where Band 8 coverage is required, commonly used for extended rural coverage or deep indoor penetration due to the favourable propagation characteristics of the 900 MHz frequency band. It connects to Ericsson baseband units via CPRI fibre links and is designed for tower or pole mounting.

This is a legacy radio unit from Ericsson’s earlier LTE radio portfolio. While it remains functional for existing network deployments, operators expanding or modernising their RAN infrastructure may be transitioning to newer radio platforms. Refurbished units are well-suited for network maintenance, spares provisioning, or extending the operational life of existing sites.
