System Features

2.1 General Description
The RDL-3000 system is manufactured by Redline Communications -- a world leader in
design and production of Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) systems.
RDL-3000 is a high-performance, high-speed wireless Ethernet bridge. The system
operates in the 4.9 - 5.8 GHz band using two time division duplexing (TDD) RF
transceivers to transmit and receive on the same. Main features include advanced
technologies to address inter-cell interference and enhanced security features that
provide over-the-air encryption.
The RDL-3000 outdoor unit is housed in a weatherproof aluminum alloy case. An indoor
PoE power adapter provides operational power for the RDL-3000 and connection to the
Ethernet network. The outdoor unit can be used with a selection of antennas.
One RDL-3000 must be configured as a Sector Controller (PMP SC) to control all RF
transmissions in a sector that may contain many subscribers. The Sector Controller uses
a scheduled request/grant mechanism to arbitrate bandwidth requests from the remote
unit PMP subscribers to provide non contention-based traffic with predictable
transmission characteristics. One or more RDL-3000 units may be configured as
subscriber units (PMP SS) controlled by the Sector Controller.
