a small indoor Interface Box, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 PacketWave 200 Series Subscriber Equipment
Outdoor Unit
The outdoor portion of the subscriber equipment consists of a single unit, approximately
9 inches square, containing the radio, antenna, and bridge/router. Different versions sup-
port various frequency bands:
•2.5 GHz MMDS
•3.5 GHz FWA
•5.3 GHz
•5.8 GHz ISM
The ODU must match the frequency band employed at the base station.
ODUs mount easily on a home or office roof, under the eave, or even in a properly-situated
window. Depending on distance, a line-of-sight path may not be required for establish-
ment of a wireless link between the subscriber and the base station. PacketWave’s
OptimaLink technology minimizes the effects of obstructions in the path between the sub-
scriber’s antenna and the base station antenna.
