ARCXTEND USER MANUAL – R1.4, ISSUE 4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Overview The ARCXtend solution is a wireless point-to-multipoint plant extension solution supporting the wireless transmission of digitally modulated RF signals between a cable system operator’s coaxial cable plant and one or more customer sites. The solution consists of a Strand or Vertically Mounted Network Hub (Hub) and one or more Customer Premise Equipments (CPE).
ARCXTEND USER MANUAL – R1.
ARCXTEND USER MANUAL – R1.4, ISSUE 4 The upstream output power out of the Hub into the cable plant is controlled by the Upstream Attenuation parameter. This parameter is automatically set by the Hub based on the transmit power setting of the Embedded Cable Modem (ECM) contained in the Hub. The gain of the CPE is fixed in both the upstream and downstream direction. The transmit power of the CPE directed towards the Hub will vary based on the input RF signal received from the cable modem.

ARCXTEND USER MANUAL – R1.4, ISSUE 4 PRE-DEPLOYMENT PLANNING Hub Site Selection A suitable location for the Hub is one that provides an acceptable line of sight (LOS) wireless link to the CPE(s) located at the customer site(s). An acceptable wireless link is one within the working range of Hub and with line of sight to the customer sites. Line of Site Line of sight is defined as a path between the Hub and CPE that is free of obstructions in the Fresnel zone.
