A leading US Cable and Internet Operator has recently upgraded an existing microwave link by installing a new bi-directional 18 GHz system to provide increased downstream channel capacity and upstream DOCSIS capability.

The state-of-the-art Cable AML microwave system consists of a broadband transceiver at the Headend, a Repeater at 18 miles ( 29Km) and a second transceiver at 14 miles (22 Km) from the repeater site.

The complete bi-directional system can transport a total of 100 256QAM carriers downstream and DOCSIS upstream carriers. Cable AML designs and manufactures broadband microwave systems for transmission of multichannel digital Cable TV signals to locations difficult to access or too far to be accessed by fiber or coaxial cable.
