3.3 Product Description
This User Manual is specifically written for the 500 family of point-to-point broadband wireless
solutions. The PTP 500 Series Bridge has been developed to provide Point-to-Point data connec-
tivity via a 5.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz wireless Ethernet bridge operating at broadband data rates. The
PTP 500 Series Bridge is aimed at a wide range of applications. An example application is an
enterprise that has a requirement to connect together the Local Area Network (LAN) of two or
more buildings as shown in
Figure 1 .

Typical PTP 500 Series Bridge Deployment
The PTP 500 Series Bridge offers true non-line-of-sight (NLOS) operation by using a combination
of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation and Multiple-Input Multiple-
Output (MIMO) techniques. These technologies enable the PTP 500 Series Bridge to drive through
foliage and around buildings to such an extent that almost universal coverage can be expected at
short range.
A PTP 500 Series Bridge system consists of a pair of identical devices that are deployed one at
each end of the link. At installation, the user sets up one unit as the Master and the other as the
Slave. Either unit can be configured as Master or Slave.
Each end of the link consists of:
•
An integrated (or connectorized - see section 13 ) outdoor transceiver unit containing all the
radio and networking electronics hereafter referred to as the Outdoor Unit (ODU).
•
An indoor connection box containing a mains power supply, status indicators and network
connection port. Hereafter referred to as the Power Indoor Unit Plus (PIDU Plus).
