  • Page 29: Mounting Brackets

    3.2.7 Mounting Brackets The Canopy 150/300 Mb BH is supplied with a mounting bracket suitable for mounting the ODU to a pole of 25mm (1”) to 75mm (3”) in diameter. For more details on mounting, see section 7 “ Installation ”. The bracket allows for adjustment in both azimuth and elevation. The bracket may be split allowing the pole mount section of the bracket to be mounted to the pole first.

  • Page 30: Product Architecture

    Product Architecture The Canopy 150/300 Mb BH consists of an identical pair of unit’s deployed one at each end of the link. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel in each direction using Time Division Duplex (TDD). One unit is deployed as a master and the other as a slave. The master unit takes responsibility for controlling the link in both directions.
