Cambium Networks Announces New ePMP 802.11ac Wave 2 Fixed Wireless Broadband Solutions

Cambium Networks announced new ePMP wireless broadband solutions to provide reliable and affordable connectivity. Extending the ePMP 3000 MU-MIMO platform, the new solutions complement the portfolio by offering a connectorized subscriber module and GPS synced ruggedized access point; both of which open up numerous deployment options with 3rd party antennas. These new additions to the ePMP portfolio extend wireless connectivity options for service providers, enterprise and industrial operators deploying connectivity with Cambium Networks’ Wireless Fabric portfolio of connectivity solutions.

· ePMP 3000L – Optimized for low density coverage areas, the ePMP 3000L provides micro-pop connectivity. This 802.11ac Wave 2 access point with MIMO technology provides up to 600 Mbps headline data rate in the 5150-5950 MHz bands and utilizes GPS synchronization for scalability and high spectral efficiency. The ePMP 3000L is a connectorized IP67 device and can be equipped with a sector, narrow beam or omnidirectional antenna to provide targeted coverage.

· ePMP Force 300 CSM Subscriber Module – To connect hard-to-reach locations, the 802.11ac Wave 2 Force 300 CSM provides up to 600 Mbps headline data rate in 20/40/80 MHz channels using 2x2 MIMO technology. The unit is connectorized to be customized for applications with readily available dishes and horns.

· ePMP Force 130 – Providing up to 140 Mbps of throughput, the ePMP Force 130 is ideal for short range, high-capacity backhaul or multipoint applications. Operating in 5150-5970 MHz and 2.4 GHz bands, the modules includes QoS and management features. The ePMP Force 130 is available in APAC, CALA and EMEA regions.

“We’re happy to see the Cambium Networks ePMP portfolio continue to expand with new SM’s and AP’s based on the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 technology,” said Mitchell Block, President of NetOps Communications. “Cambium Networks understands the WISP market and is striving to create different products in different portfolios.
