Over-the-air
- the managing computer connects to site B via the air interface
• The managing computer may be connected to the link through an IDU or a PoE
device. In what follows, where ever we refer to an IDU it includes PoE devices unless
stated otherwise. Typically, if we need to refer to an IDU as such, we will use a model
name such as IDU-C.
The terms uplink and downlink, originate from the field of Satellite communications. In a
backhaul or ISP context, uplink is from the user to the network and downlink is from the
network to the user.
