If desired, the OPU-1 can function as a High-Frequency teleprotection system. This functionality enables electrical power
utilities to transmit teleprotection commands over high-voltage lines, in only one standard 4 kHz channel, using 2 kHz for
Tx and 2 kHz for Rx. This functionality implies a specific hardware architecture of the terminal
