Data Sheet
Cisco RF Gateway 1
Product Overview
The Cisco RF Gateway 1 is a standards-based universal edge QAM (U-EQAM) solution 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 edge density, modularity, and flexibility with support for Switched Digital Video (SDV),
VoD, Broadcast Video, and DOCSIS
®
3.0/Modular CMTS (M-CMTS)
™
all on a single QAM platform.
The Cisco RF Gateway 1 provides higher density (up to 96 QAMs per RU), improved reliability, superior RF
performance, 1 GHz RF output, and DOCSIS 3.0/M-CMTS capability. It is fully integrated and tested as part of the
Cisco Digital Broadband Delivery System (DBDS) and the Cisco uBR10012 M-CMTS solution, accelerating the
deployment and easing the management of digital video and DOCSIS services. The Cisco RF Gateway 1 enables
the converged next-generation cable access network by offering comprehensive video and DOCSIS functions in a
single U-EQAM platform.
