QUALITY ALERT
Important notice: This information is for Alcatel internal use only. It must not be communicated as it is to any customer, any sub-contractor or any external company. CONCERNED SYSTEM: BTS A9100 and spares. Related fault report 3BKA91FBR179536. IMPACTED ALCATEL PRODUCT: Some BTS A9100 using TRAGE 3BK26525 AAAA or TRADE 3BK26526 AAAA can show under certain specific conditions (hot countries, Frequency Hopping activated) bad Quality of Service (call drops on odd timeslots).
CUSTOMER IMPACT
According to feed-back from Repair observations a few percentage of the modules TRAGE / TRADE can be impacted. On one sector the BTS-GSM can suffer from increased downlink Bit Error Rate (measured by RxQual up to 7) on odd timeslots, leading to degradation in QoS (Call Setup Success or Call Drop Rate) ; 4 out of 8 time slots become unusable. It can only be measured in our RNO with dropped call rate and hand-over cause statistics. The temporary work-around to be able to continue to use these odd time slots is to deactivate the Frequency Hopping, then Quality of Service is restored. The complete solution is to replace the faulty TRAGE or TRADE. There is no module alarm at OMC.

RISK ANALYSIS
Due to unavailability of precise data (traceability link between module serial number and used batch of synthesizer component from specific batches of the supplier ALPS) up to now we found the most probable impacted weeks are 506 to 534. Possibly it could happen some production weeks from second half 2005 might be impacted.
CORRECTIONS
The use of ALPS synthesizer has been prohibited at the position G4600 on both TRAGE and TRADE. In order to be able to identify the new population the Realization Variant has been upgraded to AC.
ACTIONS
MANUFACTURING (EU, ASB and India, Brazil)
AP1 Only use MACOM synthesizer in position G4600 on TREDAGE and TREDADE boards. Status : applied from week 614 onwards.
