The PoE-8 can only be used with WinLink 1000 radios.
Base Distribution Unit (BDU)
Figure 1-19: RADWIN BDU
RADWIN's Base Distribution Unit (WinLink 1000) is an all-in-one complementary indoor
device to the WinLink 1000 and WinLink Access radio product families, creating a complete,
simple and flexible Multiple Point-to-Point (MPtP) solution.
The BDU provides multiple functionality of TDM/Ethernet uplink traffic aggregation, access
traffic distribution to up to eight WinLink radios, and full layer-2 switching capabilities. The
BDU also provides feeding of the ODUs and support for an external device using Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE).
RADWIN's Multiple Point-to-Point architecture is an effective solution for ISPs wanting to pro-
vide their end-users with guaranteed dedicated bandwidth. Private networks can use the Mul-
tiple Point-to-Point deployment concept to create high-capacity networks where each site
enjoys its own dedicated connection.
The BDU is an additional component in the Multiple Point-to-Point architecture. It enhances
ease of installation and maintenance, as all co-located ODUs receive Power-over-Ethernet
directly from the BDU. Traffic is then aggregated towards the uplink connections, which can
be TDM or Ethernet based as illustrated in
RADWIN's wireless products such as WinLink 1000 or RADWIN 2000.
