1. An outdoor luminaire comprising:
a canopy on top of a luminaire frame and having a canopy enclosure;
an optical chamber bounded by the luminaire frame and a light exit window, said optical chamber at least partly accommodating a light engine;
the light engine being arranged below the canopy and comprising a LED light source configured to generate LED light and comprising a first heat sink in thermal contact with said LED light source, said LED light being emitted from the light exit window as luminaire light;
a luminaire axis extending through a center of the canopy and a midpoint of the optical chamber;
an antenna system comprising one or more antennas for transmitting and/or receiving wireless signals is at least partly arranged within the outdoor luminaire;
a radio frequency transceiver comprising radio frequency transceiver electronics and a second heat sink in thermal contact with the radio frequency transceiver electronics, said radio frequency transceiver is communicatively coupled to the antenna system and configured to control the transmission of transmitted wireless signals by the antenna system and/or process receiving wireless signals received at the antenna system;
a support for supporting the radio frequency transceiver,
wherein the support is mounted onto the luminaire frame, the radio frequency transceiver is mounted onto the support and wherein the radio frequency transceiver being at least partly recessed in the canopy enclosure and being arranged at a spacing S from the first heat sink.
