THE VCOM AP5857STRAND RADIO SYSTEMThe VCom AP5857 strand radio system wirelessly extends the CATV HFCnetwork into underserved and hard to reach areas. Operating in the 5.8 GHzunlicensed UNII band, the system provides a transparent full-duplex link forDOCSISTM service with the same 64 QAM/256 QAM (downstream) andQPSK/16 QAM (upstream) signals that are used on the wired network. The AP5857, working in conjunction with the VCom TRI5758, significantlyenhances market penetration of broadband wireless DOCSISTM services whileminimizing the infrastructure investment and maintaining advanced services.Product Features• Wirelessly extend CATV HFC networks to provide broadband wireless DOCSISTMservices to areas outside the reach of the wired plant• Strand mount design with fully weather-proof enclosure for quick and easyintegration into the outdoor CATV HFC network• Supports SNMP management for remote control as well as local control via RS-232interface 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 currentwired customers and ensuring network integrity, such as:- Automatic upstream muting- Remote monitoring of upstream levels- Control of upstream gain and mutingVCom Inc.
