The Outdoor Unit (ODU)
The ODU is the radio transceiver of the WinLink™ 1000 system and is the
main component of the system. The ODU connects to an antenna that
enables radio communication and can be mounted on a pole or wall. The
ODU connects to the IDU via a CAT5e cable.
ODUs are available in different frequencies and regulations in the ranges:
2.3-2.7GHz, 4.9-6GHz.
The ODU comes in two different form factors as shown in Figure 1-8
below, depending on the type of antenna:
• ODU with integrated 1ft flat panel antenna (
Integrated Antenna
ODU
). This unit contains both the ODU and antenna as a single unit
housed in a weatherproof casing.
• ODU with a connector for an external antenna (
Connectorized
ODU
). The unit is fitted with an N-type connector. An external
antenna can extend the range of the link, and in some cases, may
help to reduce environmental interferences.
