To determine whether your router supports a specific network module, see
Table 1-6 on page 1-16

Wireless Multipoint Network Modules
The wireless multipoint network module, shown in
Figure 15-1
, also referred to as a s
ubscriber unit
(SU), provides a high-speed broadband fixed wireless radio-frequency (RF) link between each
subscriber site and a single headend site. This link delivers full-duplex data in the licensed MMDS band
(2.500 to 2.690 GHz) or unlicensed U-NII band (5.725 to 5.825 GHz).
The headend of the system consists of a Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router, one or more
wireless modem cards, and the required subsystem for each modem card. The diversity option, which
minimizes the effects of fading, uses two wireless transverters at each site, with each transverter
connected to its own antenna. (See
Figure 15-2
.)
