3.3 GEM (Gigabit Ethernet Module)
The GEM converts the received optical signal to two Ethernet digital connections, which are then routed along with PoE to two
remote access points. The GEM module can be installed in the following configurations:
• Installed in RAU - as an optional plug-in module (see section 5.2.2)
• As a standalone module (GEU-S) - (see section 6.2)
