Cisco RFGW-10 Functional Overview
The Cisco RFGW-10 is a Carrier Class Universal Edge QAM (UEQAM) platform that offers concurrent
support for Standard and High Definition Digital Broadcast Television, Switched Digital Video (SDV),
Video on Demand (VoD), and DOCSIS/Modular CMTS services. The Cisco RFGW-10 is an edge
modulation device that aggregates multiple High Speed Data and/or Video sources, processes and
modulates the digital MPEG content, and forwards the QAM modulated MPEG data to the subscriber
side devices (cable modems and set-top boxes).
The initial application of the Cisco RFGW-10 is primarily as a downstream data delivery system
(downstream from the Cisco RFGW-10 to the cable modem or set-top box). External data and
management sources (VoD servers, MCMTS devices, DNCS, and so on) aggregate into the system via
the Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the Supervisor and the RF line cards. The
