V290iA User Guide 5
1 Overview
The V290iA is a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) device used to provide wireless
communications at remote locations as part of a Vyyo wireless network. The V290iA
provides remote connectivity for SCADA and IP devices.
The V290iA consists of three major components, integrated into a single chassis:
A Vyyo wireless modem, used for communicating over the Vyyo wireless network.
A Cisco 3200-series router, providing IP routing capability for the Vyyo wireless
network and integration into an enterprise network. Ethernet ports provide
connectivity to IP devices located at the CPE site. Serial ports provide connectivity
to SCADA devices.
A manageable Power and Control Card.
The V290iA connects to an external antenna. Two optional antennas are available.
Refer to Appendix B: Antennas Technical Specifications for the antennas’ technical
specifications.
V290iA and the Vyyo BWA System
The V290iA is the CPE component of the Vyyo Broadband Wireless Access (BWA)
system, which resides at the Sub Station. The BWA system is designed to provide endto-end wireless connectivity for SCADA and IP devices, and to interconnect seamlessly
with your enterprise network. The V290iA communicates on the 700MHz wireless band.
The following figure shows the Vyyo BWA network topology:

2 Physical and Functional Description
The V290iA is comprised of a Vyyo V284 RF modem and a Cisco 3200-series router,
integrated into a single housing. This housing is designed for easy mounting on a wall
or pole in the remote location.
V290iA Basic Description
The following is a general block diagram of the V290iA.
Error! Not a valid link.
Figure 2: V290iA General Block Diagram
The V290iA includes the following main components:
V284+A board – a UHF FDD radio modem operating in the 746-777 MHz frequency
range.
Cisco cards – these include the following:
Mobile Access Router Card (MARC) – The routing engine includes the host
processor and memory. It is connected to the V284+A through a Fast Ethernet
interface.
4-Port Fast Ethernet Switch Mobile Interface Card (FESMIC) – The 4-port
FESMIC provides four sets of Fast Ethernet signals. One of these is connected
to the WMIC.
4-Port Serial Mobile Interface Card (SMIC) – The 4-port SMIC provides four
sets of serial signals.
Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) – The 2.4-GHz WMIC can be
optionally configured as an access point (AP), a root bridge, or a non-root bridge.
The WMIC is connected to a Fast Ethernet port on the FESMIC.
Mobile Router Power Card (MPRC)
Vyyo Power Supply Controller (PSC) card – The PSC provides power
management of the V290iA units: the V284+A, the Cisco cards, and the temperature
control system.

(MARC), and one for the Power and Control Card. Refer to Appendix E: Serial
Cable Specifications for cable specifications.
Three RJ-45 Ethernet ports – The Ethernet ports are available to connect IP devices
such as remote cameras and security devices. Refer to Appendix 0: Ethernet Cable
Specifications for cable specifications.
UHF RF antenna connector – Use for connecting to the Vyyo wireless network.
Refer to Appendix D: UHF Antenna Cable Specifications for cable specifications.
Two WiFi antenna connectors – the Cisco router has wireless routing capabilities to
connect WiFi devices to the enterprise network. For more information on WiFi
antennas, see the Cisco antenna guide
