RADWIN's Base Distribution Unit (WinLink™ 1000) is an all-in-one comple-
mentary 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 provide their end-users with guaranteed dedicated band-
width. Private networks can use the Multiple Point-to-Point deployment con-
cept 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 architec-
ture. 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
WIN's wireless products such as WinLink™ 1000 or RADWIN 2000.
