Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation

ABOUT THE TSUNAMI MP.11 PRODUCT FAMILY

The Tsunami MP.11 models let you set up a wireless system based upon two basic topologies:

A point-to-point link, which lets you set up a connection between two locations as an alternative to:

ºLeased lines in building-to-building connections

ºWired Ethernet backbones between wireless access points in difficult-to-wire environments

A single point-to-multipoint network, which lets you connect more than two buildings. You can set up a single point-to-multipoint network with a single Base Station Unit and multiple Subscriber Units.

A link between two locations always consists of a Base Station Unit (BSU) and a Subscriber Unit (SU). A BSU can, depending upon its configuration, connect to one or more SUs; an SU, however, can connect to only one BSU.

Note: Depending upon local radio regulations and legislation, the outdoor antenna solutions described in this document may not be available in all parts of the world.
