Global networking solutions provider Cambium Networks launched the PMP 450v 2×2 subscriber module. This release marks a cutting-edge addition to its networking solutions portfolio.
The PMP 450v 2×2 subscriber module is designed to deliver superior performance with a maximum throughput of over 600 Mbps, operating in either 5 or 6 GHz, in a single platform. The module is engineered to meet growing demand for high-capacity, flexible network solutions, particularly in environments with crowded spectrum and capacity constraints.
Key features include:
- High throughput capable of delivering over 600 Mbps to ensure high-speed connectivity for multiple applications.
- Wide channel bandwidth that supports up to 80 MHz of occupied channel bandwidth, allowing for increased data-transfer rates.
- Component carrier architecture, including two component carriers to maximize capacity and coverage while reducing interference.
- Spectrum flexibility, operating across the 5-7 GHz spectrum for improved deployment flexibility.
- Flexible architecture that is built on a flexible FPGA-based architecture to enable streamlined updates and customization.
- Rich management integration with Cambium’s cnMaestro management system, offering comprehensive monitoring and management.
- Field-proven reliability that reflects decades of outdoor RF design expertise and outdoor-rated components, with a substantial installed base of over 1.2 million PMP 450 platform radios.
The module’s introduction highlights Cambium’s commitment to advancing wireless broadband technology. With its robust performance, flexible deployment options and comprehensive management capabilities, the PMP 450V 2×2 sets a new standard for network operators looking to enhance service offerings and expand network capacity.
“The PMP 450v 2×2 subscriber module is a testament to our dedication to innovation and excellence in connectivity solutions,” said Morgan Kurk, Cambium’s president and CEO. “This new module will empower network operators to maximize their spectrum resources while maintaining exceptional performance and reliability.”
Cambium’s equipment can operate across 850 MHz of the 6 GHz spectrum band allocated by the FCC, and 950 MHz allocated by the Canadian authorities. The company is working with and leveraging Qualcomm Technologies’ turnkey automated frequency coordination (AFC) suite, making the AFC process transparent to the service provider. With the AFC interface built into the radio, the service provider can easily use the AFC service with no extra charge or hassle.
The 6 GHz unlicensed spectrum in the United States and Canada requires each radio to connect to the AFC service. This interface is included in each 6 GHz radio and reports back which channels are available at the location where the radio is deployed. Cambium offers several options for an operator to obtain information on channel availability before even purchasing radio equipment. Either LINKPlanner or Cambium’s standalone 6 GHz Spectrum Availability Tool will return information on the frequencies and power limits available at any location of the operator’s choosing. By simply selecting the location where one intends to deploy 6 GHz, the tool responds with the channel and power level availability one could see when deploying the radio at that location.
