Outdoor unit (ODU)
ODU description
The ODU is a self-contained transceiver unit that houses both radio and networking electronics.
The ODU is supplied in two configurations: integrated (attached to its own flat plate antenna) () or
connectorized (without an antenna)
(Figure
8). The connectorized ODU is designed to work with
externally mounted antennas that have higher gains than the integrated antenna. Connectorized
units can cope with more difficult radio conditions.
