The Cisco FM4500 Mobi radio transceiver
Introduction
The Cisco FM4500 Mobi (model FM4500) is designed to operate in the
sub-6 GHz range as a static-mount wireless data link. In non-technical
terms, this means it is designed to function as an intermediate radio link
between a core wired data network and a sub-network. The unit is
specifically designed for enhanced survivability in harsh environments
such as seaside ports, railways and mines. It provides reliable service in
high-speed applications (for example, servicing extremely fast-moving
trains) and must be connected to one or more external antennas. The unit
is designed primarily for mobility applications based on Fluidity
technology, in which specialized antennas need to be deployed (for
example,
train-to-ground,
automation and similar applications).
The Cisco FM4500 Mobi (model FM4500) is configured as a multiple
input/multiple output (MIMO) 2x2 radio transceiver. In a 2x2 scenario, two
separate spatial streams are transmitted by one transceiver unit, and are
available to be re-combined by the radio chipset of a second transceiver
unit.
