SAF Tehnika is proud to introduce the PhoeniX ODU Mk3, a cutting-edge outdoor radio unit engineered to deliver exceptional RF output power in a compact, energy-efficient design. Built to replace the Phoenix G2 HP/VHP ODU, the ODU Mk3 sets a new benchmark in performance with enhanced modulation capabilities, optimized size and weight, at a more affordable price.
Advanced RF Performance and Versatility
As network demands continue to grow, service providers and enterprises require higher capacity, extended reach, and greater efficiency in their microwave deployments. The PhoeniX ODU Mk3 addresses these challenges with a range of advanced features, including:
High-Performance RF Design with DPD Technology
The next-generation radio frequency architecture incorporates Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) technology, maximizing transmission efficiency and power output. This ensures superior signal quality, extended link distances, and optimal system gain, even in demanding environments.
Enhanced Modulation and Bandwidth Capabilities
Supporting modulation rates up to 4096QAM, the ODU Mk3 achieves exceptional spectral efficiency and high data throughput. The unit provides flexible channel bandwidth options from 1.75 up to 112 MHz, empowering users to optimize network performance while reducing infrastructure costs.
Optimized for Maximum Transmission Power
Designed with high transmission power, the ODU Mk3 allows for improved system gain, enabling the use of smaller antennas while maintaining long-range connectivity. It is available in both High Power (HP) and Very High Power (VHP) versions, catering to a variety of deployment scenarios.
Compact, Rugged, and Energy Efficient
With an emphasis on reliability and ease of deployment, the ODU Mk3 features an optimized size and weight, making installation straightforward. Its rugged construction ensures durability in challenging environments, while its energy-efficient design minimizes power consumption.
Seamless Integration and Flexible Connectivity
The PhoeniX ODU Mk3 is designed for seamless compatibility with all SAF Tehnika PhoeniX Series IDUs and can be integrated with third-party split-mount systems. Key specifications include:
