Video Edge QAM Equipment
Cisco uMG9820 QAM Gateway
The Cisco uMG9820 QAM Gateway is a high-density, Gigabit Ethernet-optimized video
QAM product that offers nonstop high-performance operation for VoD services. The Cisco
uMG9820 QAM Gateway performs as the IP-to-MPEG-2 gateway between the Gigabit
Ethernet transport network and the HFC cable network. The modular design of the Cisco
uMG9820 QAM Gateway offers an initial base configuration of 8 QAM channels and scales
to a maximum of 24 QAM channels in a single-rack-unit chassis. The product accepts full
line-rate Gigabit Ethernet video transport feeds, providing 100% efficiency. Customers no
longer need to daisy-chain QAM devices, eliminating the single point of failure present in
the first QAM device in the chain. The Cisco uMG9820 QAM Gateway lowers
headend/distribution hub capital expenditures and increases resiliency by reducing
switching costs inherent in other QAM devices with lower densities.
