Wireless Overlay and Upstream

The ARCXtend Wireless overlay solution delivers additional DOCSIS capacity without costly

network upgrades or deployments. It is an ideal solution for providing DOCSIS-based services to

isolated communities or out-of-franchise markets. A typical ARCXtend cell site, mounted on 100

foot tower, can cover over 100 square miles and could provide commercial-grade high speed data

service for up to 1,600 customers.

The ARCXtend Wireless upstream solution provides a quick and cost effective means for upgrading

older one-way plants to deliver 2-way DOCSIS service. With the ARCXtend wireless upstream

solution, two-way service can be up and running in weeks rather than months at a fraction of the

cost of upgrading the entire plant.
