The MDS FIVE Series consists of an open front/rear Software Defined Indoor Unit (IDU) and Outdoor
Unit (ODU). MDS FIVE Series devices are spectrum and data rate scalable, enabling utilities and
other industrial organizations to trade-off system gain with spectral efficiency (range versus speed)
and channel availability for optimal network connectivity. The MDS FIVE Series delivers aggregate
data rates up to 200 Mbps in the 5.8 GHz ISM band. A common platform supports plug-in 100 Mbps
Ethernet.
