Multipoint Wireless Support for the Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Router

Feature Overview

Multipoint Headend System

The Cisco broadband fixed wireless multipoint headend system is designed to use antennas that transmit the RF signal in a portion of a complete circle, or directionally, in what is called a sector. Each headend site can be designed and configured to broadcast in a single sector, or in multiple sectors, depending on the requirements of the network.

For each sector, the components of a multipoint headend system (see Figure 1) consist of the necessary cables and:

One Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router

One wireless modem card installed in the router

One power feed panel

One or two antennas (second antenna for diversity reception is optional)

One or two wireless transverters containing the RF amplifier (one for each antenna)

One or two duplexers (one for each wireless transverter)
