The Cisco FM4200 Fiber radio transceiver
Introduction
The Cisco FM4200 Fiber (model FM4200F) 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 and/or fiber-optic 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, automated mining vehicles,
industrial automation and similar applications).
The Cisco FM4200 Fiber 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.
