Description
Actual number of timeslots allocated to an HSU
Base Station: a radio that can transmit and receive to more
than one point. See also HBS
Data traffic from an HBS to an HSU or from a Master ODU to
a Slave ODU
Equivalent (or Effective) Isotropically Radiated Power: Power
that a theoretical isotropic antenna emits to produce the
peak power density (see EIRP on page 19‐2).
GPS Hub Site Synchronization
High capacity Base Station. Same as a BS, same as Master
ODU, same as RT‐A(HBS)
Hub Site Client: A radio unit that is co‐located with other
units, and receives a synchronization signal. This unit can
only be an HBS.
Hub Site Master: the source of the synchronization signal for
Hub Site Synchronization. This is usually one of the radio
units, but not necessarily, as the "master" can be a signal
from a GPS satellite.
High capacity Subscriber Unit. Same as an SU, same as a
Slave ODU, same as RT‐B(HSU).
The dominant radio unit in a link. Same as Base Station.
Same as a BS, same as RT‐A(HBS)
Maximum Information Rate
Outdoor Unit. This is a generic term for a radio unit packaged
in an enclosure designed to comply with outdoor
regulations. This term can also be used to refer to the indoor
radio, RADWIN 2000i.
