Introduction
The WLAN ODU MIMO 2x2 WiFi Outdoor System consists of two concurrent running radios,
one at 5GHz support 802.11a/n standard, and the other at 2.4GHz for 802.11b/g/n features.
The MIMO 2x2 802.11n/a 300Mbps Wireless High Power Outdoor Bridge support Point-to-Point,
Point to Multipoint, building-to-building communication, that the data rate is up to 150Mbps in
HT-20 mode, or to 300 Mbps in HT-40 mode. The bridge function is most suitable for
enterprises, campus or off-site locations that require LAN or Internet access without the
availability of wired networks to extend network coverage up to 35Km.; and the 802.11 b/g/n
radio is mainly for Access Point application to provide local wireless access to the Internet.
The WLAN ODU MIMO 2x2 WiFi Outdoor System offers different encryption mechanisms
including WEP, and WPA to ensure the communication security. For APs / Bridges connections,
the MAC address authentication mechanism is provided.
The WLAN ODU MIMO 2x2 WiFi Outdoor System is designed for the outdoor environment
and it is full weather proof against the most stringent condition. For further protection, the
bridge and Power over Ethernet adapter are all with the built-in lightning protectors.
To meet the stringent outdoor application, the WLAN ODU incorporates the patent
technology to ensure the operation of the radio over the wide temperature. The build-in
lightning protectors further ensure the radio and its accessories’ safety during the operation.
Power over Ethernet design, mounting accessory and field installation kits ensure easy to use
experience.
The WLAN ODU is in a weatherproof enclosure for mounting outdoors and includes its own
brackets for attaching to a wall, pole, radio mast, or tower structure. The unit powered through
its Ethernet cable connection from a power injector module that installed indoors. The wireless
bridge system offers a fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution for
connectivity between remote Ethernet wired LANs or to provide Internet access to an isolated
site. The system is also easy to install and operate, ideal for situations where a wired link may
be difficult or expensive to deploy.
In addition, the WLAN ODU offer full network management capabilities through an easy-to-use
web interface, a command-line interface, and support for Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) tools.

1.2 Product Feature
Range — the WLAN ODU wireless bridge has been refined and optimized for long
range application, up to 35Km.
Temperature — the WLAN ODU wireless AP/bridge is tested for normal operation in
the ambient temperatures from -40°C to 60°C. Operating in temperatures outside of
this range may cause the unit to fail.
Wind Velocity — the WLAN ODU wireless AP/bridge can operate in winds up to 90
MPH and survive higher wind speeds up to 125 mph. You must consider the known
maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting
structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, built to withstand this force.
Lightning — the WLAN ODU wireless bridge includes its own built-in lightning
protection. However, you should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure,
and cables are all properly grounded. Additional protection using lightning rods,
lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also employed.
Rain — the weather plays one of major matters to the antenna performance for the
wireless communication. The raining day, the lightning day, the cloudy day, or the
windy day will make a quite big impact to the both side antennas over the
communication results. It will also cause the communication quality. The WLAN ODU
wireless bridge is weatherproofed outdoor unit, which can operate in extremely
weather environment. You may need to use the sealing tape around the external
antenna port connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters the connector, it
may cause degradation in performance or even a complete failure of the link.
