Cisco RF Gateway Series


Product Overview
The Cisco RF Gateway Series introduces standards-based universal edge QAM (U-EQAM) solutions for convergence of high-speed and high-bandwidth data and video distribution at the edge of the cable access network. The Cisco RF Gateway 1 offers leading density, modularity, and flexibility with support for Switched Digital Video (SDV), VoD, DOCSIS 3.0/Modular CMTS (M-CMTS) on a single QAM platform. The Cisco RF Gateway Series is a collaborative product portfolio jointly developed by Cisco and Scientific Atlanta. It extends Scientific Atlantas fourth generation QAM technology with SDV support, higher density, improved reliability, 1 GHz RF output, and DOCSIS 3.0/M-CMTS capability. Cisco RF Gateway Series products are fully integrated and tested as part of the Scientific Atlanta Digital Broadband Delivery System (DBDS) and the Cisco M-CMTS solution, accelerating the deployment and easing the management of digital video and DOCSIS services. The Cisco RF Gateway Series helps enable the converged next-generation cable access network by offering comprehensive video and DOCSIS functions in a single U-EQAM platform.

Features and Benefits


Primary Benefits The new compact Cisco RF Gateway 1 provides the following benefits for cable operators:

Rapid time-to-market of QAM-based services to generate incremental revenue through a modular, flexible design based on a proven, fourth-generation QAM architecture Efficient use of capital expenditures through maximum spectrum efficiency (SDV, QAM Sharing, 1GHz) and U-EQAM functionality (video and data) for flexibility and optimization in a variety of video and data network architectures

Quality and reliability through a redundant architecture; full testing and integration with the Scientific Atlanta DBDS Video Delivery System and the Cisco M-CMTS Architecture

Primary Features The Cisco RF Gateway 1 provides up to 48 U-EQAM channels (for SDV, Broadcast, VoD, and DOCSIS 3.0/M-CMTS) in a compact 1RU chassis. The modular design supports eight QAM channels per module, with four QAM channels per RF output port and frequency agility up to 1 GHz. Primary features include:

True U-EQAM video (broadcast, SDV, SD/HD, MPEG-2, AVC) and high speed data (M-CMTS/DTI, DOCSIS 3.0) in 1RU form factor Table-based or sessions-based functionality 48 configurable QAM channels; each of which is fully agile 451000 MHz; RF performance exceeds the latest CableLabs DRFI specifications Industry-leading support for up to 2048 streams in 1RU Fully redundant design with redundant Gigabit Ethernet ports and power supplies (AC/AC, AC/DC, or DC/DC) and QAM backup support with ROSA Digital Headend backup management system from Scientific Atlanta

Front-to-back airflow to allow self-cooling and stacking of several Cisco RF Gateways Compliance with ITU-T J.83 standard, Annex A (DVB), Annex B (ATSC), or Annex C (Japan) Internet Group Management Protocol Version 3 (IGMPv3) support Low power consumption
