If they're only going to use 1 CMTS then you must get wireless links that
shoot video, which will pretty much kill any IP wireless links in the area
running on the same channel.
A CMTS usually must have a management server for provisioning & management,
so you could buy several cheaper CMTSs (I purchased a used Nortel/Arris
CMTS1000 years ago and it's never had a hiccup) and place them at each site,
linking them to the management server via wireless links.
I've also investingated DOCSIS wireless radios (they'll just do the data
part).
The problem with all this is if you don't have some kind of circuits (wired
or wireless) between the sites, then you'll have to have feeds for all the
channels you're going to provide at each location. Depending on mileage,
you may be able to use dry copper circuits. I know that some of this can be
done over T-1 circuits, but the project I'm involved in didn't go that
route, so I never spent too much time on it.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [WISPA] Cable network for Internet, VoIP and Video distribution
One of my customers is designing a Cable operator network for several
estate areas. They plan to use a Motorola CMTS device to serve those
areas.
The areas are not connected by fiber and the problem they are facing
is the way to extend the CMTS service to those areas. They have think
in PTP radio links but the CMTS devices are not IP, so they should use
1 CMTS for each area and that is very expensive.
Is there any way to extend the CMTS coverage to this areas by using
PTP IP radio links?
Many Thanks,
Javier
