Nortel EBSC
On many fronts–capacity, sizing and IP support– Nortel’s EBSC falls short of competitors. Yet, capacity and space efficiency are respectable and Nortel’s strong CDMA market position suggests a platform few operators should have trouble trusting. (4/3/2009)

ZTE ZXC10 BSCB
While most vendors’ CDMA BSC capabilities have not shown much improvement of late, ZTE’s high capacity offer still leads the market in scalability. Maximum scale, however, requires an unwieldy architecture, particularly when compared to Huawei. (4/3/2009)

- Deployment Flexibility
- Reflects the economic impact of a BSC solution in terms of space requirements. The size of the unit, floor space footprint, weight and BSC height factor into the consideration. In addition, the density of the solution is evaluated by examining the total number of Erlangs or base stations supported for the space volume required.
- Core Network Flexibility & Technology Evolution
- "Reflects support for flexibility in terms of network deployments and future technology evolutions. The type and number of transport links is a key consideration. Likewise, support for new technologies and standard interfaces is considered along with the vendor's history of recent product upgrades and BSC innovation.
