ARCXtend CPE

The CPE is small footprint weatherproof radome that can be easily mounted on a rooftop or side

of a building to provide connectivity to the wireless network. It contains an integrated transceiver

and a narrow-beam antenna that can be easily aligned to receive the Wireless DOCSIS signal

from a Network Hub. The CPE is roughly one foot square and supports low cost installation

using the same hardware and skills as a small satellite dish.

The CPE has a single, female-type F connector for both Vdc power and RF signal. It is located

on the back of the unit as show in Figure 2-6.
