The Outdoor Unit (ODU)
The ODU is the radio transceiver
of the WinLink 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, 4.9-5.95GHz.
The ODU comes in two different form factors depending on the type of
antenna:
•
ODU with integrated 1ft flat panel antenna
. 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
. 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.
Various external antennas are available for the WinLink™ 1000
operating frequencies.
