1 8 WISPAPALOOZA SHOW I OCTOBER 11 - 14, 2021 www.bekabusinessmedia.com L Z OO 2021 DAY 3 C ommScope and Cambium Networks announced that Comm- Scope’s spectrum access system (SAS) now supports fixed wireless broad- band CBRS equipment from Cambium. Cambium Networks’ end-to-end outdoor fixed wireless broadband solution is centered on the PMP 450m platform incorporating cnMe- dusa MU-MIMO technology, providing high levels of subscriber density and spectral effi- ciency. Access to the CBRS SAS service is provided by Cambium Networks’ cnMaestro cloud-based management system. Cambium Networks’ solution provides network operators a complete end-to-end CBRS solution from a single interface. CommScope SAS is a dynamic spectrum management engine that manages CBRS spectrum sharing on an as-needed basis across three tiers of access. CBRS spectrum can be accessed by all authorized commer- cial users via CommScope’s SAS – securely and without harmful interference to incum- bent users. CommScope SAS is served by an Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) network with radar sensors deployed all along the U.S. coastlines. A SAS must have access to an ESC network to utilize the entire CBRS band nationwide. “Business and residential customers are demanding higher throughput speeds,” said John Silva, operations manager at SpeedyQuick Networks. “5 GHz spectrum was not available, so I added the Cambium Networks PMP 450 platform to my network using the CBRS bands with SAS services from CommScope. Right away I was able to add 42 new customers on service plans up to 20 Mbps, with room to grow. The system just works, and customers are amazed at the service.” With the full integration of CommScope SAS and Cambium software, fixed wireless network operators using Cambium Networks equipment can now select CommScope as their SAS provider in the cnMaestro network manage- ment system. CommScope’s SAS system and ESC network, designed and built on decades of spectrum management expertise, enable wireless networks to tap into valuable capacity of the 3.5 GHz band. “Wireless network operators including service providers, industrial operators and govern- ment agencies are solving the digital divide and supplementing their broadband networks using CBRS frequencies on their Cambium Networks equipment,” said Scott Imhoff, senior vice president of product management at Cambium Networks. “The integration between our cnMaestro network management system and Commscope CBRS Spectrum Access System Supports Cambium Equipment (Continued on page 19)
