Unit function and throughput speed
The unit is an entry-level networking solution consisting of two radio
transceiver units. It is designed to handle video, voice, and data with
extremely high reliability. It can be used to create point-to-point network
links with real throughput of up to 50 Mbps (under optimal wireless link
conditions), with a theoretical maximum distance between units of up to 3
miles (4.83 Km). The Cisco FM Ponte kit can be used to create parts of a
wireless network architecture composed of point-to-point (P2P) links, with
network activity 'transparent' to the network hosts. As a typical example,
this type of operation allows two local networks to communicate with each
other.
IMPORTANT
The Cisco FM Ponte kit cannot be switched to
Mesh Point
mode or
Mesh End
mode.
Unit configuration
The unit is programmed using a built-in Configurator interface. This is an
offline interface that allows you to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the
unit.
Environmental rating
The unit is certified for outdoor usage, equipped with vibration-proof
connectors, and designed for fast installation and enhanced reliability in
harsh environments.
Product specifications
For detailed product specifications, refer to the product data sheet for the
Cisco FM Ponte kit.
Transceiver and gateway unit power consumption
In service, Fluidmesh transceiver units and gateway units consume
electrical power at the rates given in the table below.
IMPORTANT
In service, transceiver and gateway units will consume power
at various levels between the quoted lower limit and upper
limit, depending on data traffic load, signal strength,
environmental conditions such as line-of-sight and atmospheric
moisture, and other factors.
Note that the power consumption of transceiver units tends to
be affected in inverse proportion to the unit temperature (in
other words, power consumption tends to rise when the
temperature of the unit falls, and the other way around).
