Product Overview Cisco RF Gateway 1 - D QAM Card
The Cisco RF Gateway 1 is a standards-based universal edge QAM (U-EQAM) solution for convergence of high-speed and high-bandwidth data and video distribution at the edge of the cable access network. It is the first product in the Cisco RF Gateway product series. The Cisco RF Gateway 1 offers leading edge density, modularity, and flexibility with support for Switched Digital Video (SDV), VoD, Broadcast Video, and DOCSIS 3.0/Modular CMTS (M-CMTS) on a single QAM platform. The Cisco RF Gateway 1 is a 4th generation QAM product that enhances SDV support, higher density (48 QAMs per RU), improved reliability, superior RF performance, 1 GHz RF output, and DOCSIS 3.0/M-CMTS capability. Cisco RF Gateway 1 is fully integrated and tested as part of the Cisco Digital Broadband Delivery System (DBDS) and the Cisco uBR10012 M-CMTS solution, accelerating the deployment and easing the management of digital video and DOCSIS services. The Cisco RF Gateway 1 enables the converged next-generation cable access network by offering comprehensive video and DOCSIS functions in a single U-EQAM platform.
