Marquee Bridge™ (UNII)

PRELIMINARY Quick Start Guide

Introduction

The Marquee Bridge (MB) is a complete 5 GHz wireless

point-to-point (p-p) or point-to-multipoint (p-mp) system

that links two Ethernet LANs together. It consists of two

high-gain directional antennas and a pair of OFDM

radios in a rugged outdoor enclosure. They connect to

the LAN's Ethernet Switch on each end with an outdoor-

rated Ethernet cable ordered separately. It is ideal for

connecting two office LANs together, or for linking a

WIPOP site to an Internet backbone. The Marquee

Bridge uses the YDI-Fi software which supports VLAN

bridging (802.1q protocol).

The Marquee Bridge will accommodate virtually an

unlimited number of client MAC addresses on each side

of the link. With 5 non-overlapping channels available,

up to 5 bridges can be co-located at a site.

The Marquee Bridge is available in four versions:

• Standard version with an integrated one-foot flat

panel antenna (MB-INT-ST) for operation in the

UNII Band II (5.250 – 5.350 GHz)

• Standard version with an N-type connector for an

external antenna (MB-EXT-ST) for operation in the

ISM Band (5.725 – 5.850 GHz)

• High Power version with an integrated one-foot flat

panel antenna (MB-INT-HP) for operation in the

ISM Band (5.725 – 5.850 GHz)

• High Power version with an N-type connector for an

external antenna (MB-EXT-HP) for operation in the

ISM Band (5.725 – 5.850 GHz)

This manual applies to the Marquee Bridge version that

operates in the UNII Band II (MB-INT-ST).

with all-weather electrical tape, Permagum, or

equivalent. Do not

use Silicon glue.

The Marquee Bridge radio unit is installed by means of

a pole mount adaptor bracket that is secured to the pole

using two metal hose type clamps. Figure 1 shows the

hardware provided to mount the outdoor RF Unit.

1. Install the outdoor unit pole mount adaptor bracket
