Base Transceiver Station. The name for the antenna and radio equipment necessary to provide wireless service in an area. Also called a base station or cell site.

Base transceiver station. A device utilized to transmit radio frequency over the air interface.

Base Transceiver Station. Technical term for a mobile radio base station. A BTS houses the transmitter and receiver equipment and antennae for a given radio cell. Several BTSs are administered by a single Base Station Controller (BSC), which in turn is under the control of a Mobile Switching Centre (MSC).

Base Transceiver Station. The BTS is a single base station that contains the transmitter and the receiver that make up a radio cell. In addition, the BTS processes direct communication with the cell phone.

Build To Suit opportunity for financing; build-to-suit (BTS) is basically a form of seller financing whereby the seller finances the land and/or the building and builds to suit the needs of the tenant. A BTS is considered a non-traditional source of financing

The Base Transceiver Station is a radio transmitter-receiver that is located at the centre of a cell and which connects mobile users to the mobile network. Connects upstream to a Base Station Controller, or BSC.

In mobile communications, a BTS holds the radio transceivers that define a cell and coordinates the radio-link protocols with the mobile device. The BTS is the networking component of a mobile communications system from which all signals are sent and recei A BTS is also called a base station (BS) and is commonly referred to as a "cell phone tower."

Base Transceiver Station - Commonly termed the Base Station, the BTS consists of a radio transceiver covering a single cell. A number of BTS's are connected to each BSC.

Base Tranceiver Station. Technical term for a mobile phone base station. A BTS contains the transmit and receive technology and also the aerials to supply a radio cell. Several BTSs are administered by a BSC (Base Station Controller), which is in turn under an MSC (Mobile Switching Center). Existing BSCs and BTSs can be extended for new radio technology to allow the network operator to reuse existing aerial sites for UMTS radio networks.

The Base Transceiver Station is composed of an antenna and transceiver. The BTS handles the radio interface with the mobile phone. It is the first entity within the GSM network that detects the mobile signal. The parameters of a cell are defined by the transceiver signal strength of the BTS.

Base Transceiver Station* BYTE (see BPS and DIGITAL) A string of bits usually 8 bits long.

Base Transceiver Station. The electronic equipment coupled with the antenna that comprises a PCS facility or single cell site.

Base transceiver station. Mobile telephony equipment housed in cabinets and colocated with antennas. (Also known as a radio base station.)
