Chapter 1 Introduction
The Orion-900, 900MHz OFDM radio is a cost-effective point-to-point / point-to-multipoint,
and multipoint-to-multipoint solution for ISM band wireless backhaul deployment equipped with
an Ethernet interface.
This radio is one of the first OFDM radios, utilizing 16/64QAM modulation. Although line of
sight installations are always recommended, OFDM technology makes the system ‘more
forgiving’ than non-OFDM radios.
This radio is incorporated with Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology that operates on a
single channel. This Ethernet product is primarily designed to provide a standard Ethernet
interface in a wireless link between distant sites.

Features and Benefits
Provides for easy installation and high performance wireless bridging of up to 50Km
With an effective data rate up to 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps, and 22Mbps, it is one of the fastest and
most efficient Ethernet radios in the industry.
OFDM Technology.
Channel size/bandwidth flexibility allows the user to select channel size at 5, 10, or 20 MHz
for optimal performance.
Versatile Quality of Service / Time-Division Multiplexing technique. TDM technology can
avoid Ethernet packet collision and send packets with more stability and efficiency so to
improve the quality of voice and data transmission.
nx64 selectable user data rates allow for better Quality of Service(QoS).
WEP 64 bit / 128 bit / 152 bit, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK as well as MAC access for added
security.
Easy to use Web-based configuration utility. is fully manageable both locally and remotely. In
addition, built-in SNMP support lets the operator, whether ISP or enterprise, expand the
network infrastructure with ease.
IP-68 rated weatherproof housing.
Multipoint-to-multipoint use allowing every radio installed to not only provide access, but
also be used as a repeater for other locations.
External N-connector allows operators to select the optimum antenna.
