PacketWave equipment installed at the subscriber site consists of an subscriber Indoor
Unit (a bridge/router between the wireless subnet and the subscriber’s computer or
LAN), and an outdoor integrated radio/antenna unit. The two units are illustrated in
Figure2-3
.
There are four models of radios, for support of different frequency bands:
• 2.5 GHz MMDS
• 3.5 GHz FWA
• 5.3 GHz U-NII
• 5.8 GHz U-NII
Radio/antenna units vary in size, depending on the frequency band. Each subscriber
Indoor Unit can support any of the integrated radio/antenna units. (Of course, the
radio’s frequency band must match that employed at the base station.)
The radio/antenna unit is usually installed on the subscriber’s roof or under the eave,
mounted either on a pole or to a flat surface. It is also possible to mount a radio/
antenna unit in a window if a suitable transmission path is available.
