T HE VC OM AP5857 S TRAND R ADIO S YSTEM The VCom AP5857strand radio system wirelessly extends the CATV HFC network into underserved and hard to reach areas. Operating in the 5.8 GHz unlicensed UNII band, the system provides a transparent full-duplex link for DOCSIS TM service with the same 64 QAM/256 QAM (downstream) and QPSK/16 QAM (upstream) signals that are used on the wired network. The AP5857, working in conjunction with the VCom TRI5758, significantly enhances market penetration of broadband wireless DOCSIS TM services while minimizing the infrastructure investment and maintaining advanced services. Product Features • Wirelessly extend CATV HFC networks to provide broadband wireless DOCSIS TM services to areas outside the reach of the wired plant • Strand mount design with fully weather-proof enclosure for quick and easy integration into the outdoor CATV HFC network • Supports SNMP management for remote control as well as local control via RS-232 interface for on site configuration and monitoring • Internal demodulator/remodulator ensures excellent downstream signal, independent of CATV downstream signal quality • Incorporates a number of features to control upstream ingress, protecting current wired customers and ensuring network integrity, such as: - Automatic upstream muting - Remote monitoring of upstream levels - Control of upstream gain and muting VCom Inc.
