Connect ES Link Package
IDU ES is promoted as a ‘Connect ES’ link package. The package comprises two
terminals (2x IDU ES with license, and 2x ODU).
• Direct-mount antenna and ODU cable options are separately ordered.
• Depending on the required Ethernet capacity, capacity upgrade path, and frequency
band, Connect ES is supplied with ODU 300sp, hp, or ep.
Connect ES links may be operated back-to-back in networked applications
Connect ES Capacity and Bandwidth Options
For IDU ES with ODU 300sp, capacity and bandwidth options are indicated in Figure
2-4 and detailed in Table 2-6.
For IDU ES with ODU 300hp or ODU 300ep, capacity and bandwidth options are
indicated in Figure 2-5 and detailed in Table 2-7.
• ODU 300sp options are available for ETSI bands from 7 to 38 GHz.
• ODU 300hp options are available for all bands except 5 GHz.
• ODU 300ep options are available for 5, 13 or 15 GHz bands.
• Capacity is licensed.
• With ODU 300sp the base Connect license is 40 Mbps. An upgrade is available to
80 Mbps.
• With ODU 300hp or ODU 300ep the base Connect license supports up to 65
Mbps. Upgrades are available to 100, 150, or 200 Mbps.
• Upgrades are placed at time of order, or ordered subsequently as downloadable
software licenses.
• Licenses are up-to licences. For example a 100 Mbps license may be configured to
support throughputs from 20 to 100 Mbps.
NOTE: When ordered as an IDU ES, as distinct from a Connect ES link package,
the base license begins at 20 Mbps for ETSI and 50 Mbps for ANSI.
• The maximum capacity for each option may be used for Ethernet traffic, or assigned
between Ethernet and wayside E1/DS1 circuits. For configurations where available
link capacity is fully assigned to Ethernet, capacity for Ethernet is reduced by 2 Mbps
(2.048 Mbps) for each E1 assigned, or by 1.5 Mbps (1.544 Mbps) for each DS1
assigned, up to a maximum 8xE1/DS1 waysides.
• For maximum 200 Mbps licensed options, Ethernet is constrained to the channel
maximums of the Ethernet module to provide 196.6 Mbps (96x2.048 Mbps) for an
ETSI configuration, or 196 Mbps (127x1.544 Mbps) for ANSI.
•The ETSI 200 Mbps option supports an over-air capacity of 217 Mbps. The
balance of this capacity may be assigned to waysides without impacting maximum
Ethernet throughput; for example this option supports 196.6 Mbps Ethernet and
up to 8xE1 waysides.
