VectaStar Metro Datasheet (Gigabit ODU-M)
VectaStar Metro Datasheet (Gigabit ODU-M)
The VectaStar Metro is a range of compact outdoor units (ODU-M) for backhauling small cells and other
technologies where low visual impact in a street level environment is imperative. Operating in the 26 and 28
GHz frequency bands, VectaStar Metro offers capacities up to 700 Mbps gross throughput per sector and up to
350 Mbps gross throughput per small cell. VectaStar Metro is compatible with the proven and market leading
family of Carrier Class VectaStar Gigabit point-to-multi-point products. This provides a complete solution
where the macro and small cell layers can be mixed to meet individual network requirements.
VectaStar Metro has a small and inconspicuous form factor and weighs only 5.4kg, making it easy to install on
lamp posts and walls in urban environments. Special new low profile antenna configurations have been
employed to maximise coverage whilst minimising the overall dimensions of the outdoor unit. A range of up to
2.5km can typically be achieved.
VectaStar Metro can be deployed as a standalone single sector outdoor-only installation. Additionally
VectaStar Metro can be deployed within a wider network of VectaStar Gigabit ODU-S and Radio Controller
equipment to create multi-sector protected radio hubs (1+1 and 2+0) which provide aggregation and a single
interface to the core network. Traffic from the network edge (e.g. 2G, 3G, LTE, Wi-Fi, etc.) is backhauled by the
connected RT to the sector AP. Within each sector, bandwidth is statistically multiplexed across multiple RTs in
accordance with operator-defined QoS parameters. This dynamic allocation avoids the wasteful spectrum
usage associated with PtP links. VectaStar systems support 7-state adaptive modulation for superior
performance in all weather conditions.
