HOW DOES CITIUS WORK ?

CITIUS consists of a CITIUS Interface

Unit placed at the head-end, Base

Stations mounted on buildings and

Subscriber Terminals installed at

subscriber premises.

The CIU and base stations are connected

using copper or dark fiber. CITIUS

subscriber terminals are either Single

Subscriber Terminals commonly referred

as CITIUS modems or Internet Terminals

in which case they are mounted like a DP

Box outside the building and only

Ethernet cables are taken into Subscriber

premises.

The CIU integrates the Wireless Upstream and Cable Downstream and present a single internet

interface to Internet on Gig-E/FE.

Each Base Station typically provides a 3 Mbps wireless interface on its coverage area. Multiple Base

Stations can be mounted in a sector to increase the capacity in a given sector. The Base Stations are

small in size/weight and can be mounted on top of towers or poles on buildings.

Subscribers can be provisioned with 256/512/higher downstream bandwidth speeds. On the

upstream 256 kbps speeds can be given dedicated to users.
