as part of a Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint, or Mesh network
architecture without having to replace physical hardware. The unit can use
time-division multiple access (TDMA), or carrier sense multiple access
(CSMA) protocols.
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.
Staging hardware
A staging kit that allows easy installation of the unit on walls and utility
poles is supplied as part of the complete package.
Product specifications
For detailed product specifications, refer to the product data sheet for the
Cisco FM3200 Base.
Transceiver and gateway unit power consumption
In service, Cisco 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).
