1. Introduction
Vivint Pandora is an outdoor (Multi)Point-to-Multipoint TDD radio in the unlicensed V-band
(57-71 GHz) based on WiGig technology, IEEE 802.11ad. It can provide 2 Gbps user traffic in
each direction (four directions giving 8 Gbps in total). Pandora comes in two versions, either
with an additional LAN port, or with an SFP+ (10Gbps) port. It is powered by proprietary Power
over Ethernet (PoE) or 48 VDC. When using 48 VDC power, alarm signals are also available
from the UPS in the same cable as the DC cable. Operations and Maintenance is done via the
LAN port or the or SFP+ port. (802.11b/g/n) is used for maintenance operations when a field
technician is within close proximity to the equipment.
Pandora is used for broadband coverage, primarily for households. Professional installation is
required.
Figure 1: A Pandora Node
The Pandora consist of four microwave radio nodes in one box. The internal "nodes" are
physically placed 90 degrees apart and each lobe can be horizontally adjusted +/-40 degrees so
that the sectors together covers 360 degrees. This provides four branches per node to connect
with other Pandora nodes as required.
