Capabilities of the PTP 250
The structure and mounting brackets of the ODU are capable of withstanding wind speeds
up to 242 kph (151 mph). Ensure that the structure to which the ODU is fixed is also
capable of withstanding the prevalent wind speeds and loads.
Wind speed statistics
Contact the national meteorological office for the country concerned to identify the likely
wind speeds prevalent at the proposed location. Use this data to estimate the total wind
loading on the support structures. Sources of information:
