This falls in the category of dumb questions since the abbreviation for basestation is BTS (base tranceiver station)....but I had to ask since I couldnt find this explicitly spelled out on the web. It looks like it all comes down to who is telling the truth about the amount of physical infrastructure that needs to be changed. wirelessweek.com slacker711 Chicago, IL: There has been quite a bit of press lately devoted to EDGE. I have read that older GSM deployments will require a new tranceiver for EDGE....do you know what percentage of a basestation's cost is associated with the tranceiver? Andy Seybold: Slacker--a Transceiver IS the base station for a cell site--so if a new one is requried it means replacing the one that is there with a new one--the antennas and cable can remain the same but the transceiver--or base station must be changed out--in the U.S. most of the new GSM systems are upgradable via software to EDGE--
