System Description
The BreezeNET DS.11 wireless Base Unit (BU-DS.11) and Remote Bridge (RB-
DS.11) are designed to provide long-range point-to-multipoint links for outdoor
applications. The products use direct sequence spread spectrum radio technology
operating at the frequency range of 2.4 – 2.4835 GHz, a part of the FCC's
unlicensed Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. Data is transmitted at
rates of up to 11 Mbps, providing network users with full 10BaseT Ethernet
speeds.

BU-DS.11 Wireless Base Unit

The BU-DS.11 is an IEEE 802.11b compliant base station that connects one or
more remote sites to a central server or Internet connection. In a point-to-multi-
point configuration the BU-DS.11 is the central unit while in point-to-point
configurations it should be installed at one end of the link.
The BU-DS.11 is available in two options: The BU-DS.11 and the BU-DS.11D.
The BU-DS.11 is the basic unit, equipped with an antenna integrated into the front
cover of the outdoor unit.
The BU-DS.11D doesn’t have an integral antenna and is equipped with a connector
(on the outdoor unit) for an external antenna (not included with the unit).
Refer to Antennas for Outdoor Applications on page 2-6 and Available Antennas on
page 2-7 for information on how to select an appropriate external antenna.
