mQ, You asked: << what fraction of the total cost of a system is the air interface electronic gizzardry? >> "Lucent expects operators to spend around 45 percent of their UMTS investment on UTRAN radio systems, 20 percent on equipment and base stations and 20 percent on core networks." Message 15196176 That totals 85%. I'm guessing that the 15% is on "other equipment" - Billing System, Voice Mail, etc., but I'm not sure. I think all this is on top of license. That is still not totally answering your question ... but, interesting breakdown, none the less. You also said "My guess is that the air interface components are about 70% of the cost of a base station's electronics." That sounds reasonably, reasonable to me. - Eric -
