ePMP 4000 platform delivers gigabit speeds,
AFC interoperability and is ready for FCC to open the 6 GHz
spectrum
ROLLING
MEADOWS, Ill., Oct. 10,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambium Networks (NASDAQ: CMBM),
a leading global provider of networking solutions, today announced
that the ePMP 4600 is ready for broadband service providers to
extend networks with 6 GHz as soon as the FCC opens the frequency
band. The solution is currently active in more than a dozen field
verification projects, has completed the testing for Persistent
Inquiry Approval (PIA) and is in regulatory lab testing with an
Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) supplier.
"We are seeing 900 Mbps symmetrical out to 2 miles with the ePMP
4600," said Jimmy Murphy,
Engineering Director, Wispmetrics. "With the 5 GHz spectrum tapped
out, ePMP 4600 will make it easy for us to roll out new packages
and reach new business and residential customers as soon as the FCC
gives us the green light."
"Broadband service providers are ready to offer business and
residential fixed wireless broadband service in the 6 GHz
spectrum," said Cambium Networks President and CEO Morgan
Kurk. "Service providers' field verification tests report
speeds of 1 Gbps out to 2 miles. The radio technology is
proven. Frequency coordination systems are working."
As part of its leadership in providing 6 GHz solutions, Cambium
Networks is working closely with Qualcomm Technologies' turnkey AFC
Solution. The ePMP 4600 solutions are fully compliant with
frequency coordination processes and are currently in the 45-day
trial period. On completion, the solution will be submitted to the
FCC for approval, and once approval is received, WISPs can start
offering the service for revenue.
"Qualcomm Technologies is glad to partner with Cambium Networks
to bring 6GHz outdoor Wi-Fi to their customers with our
silicon-to-cloud turnkey AFC solution," said Sreeja Nair, director, product management,
Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. "This will make it easier and more efficient
for service providers to maximize the 6GHz spectrum and offer
services upon FCC approval."
The ePMP 4600 platform leverages the Qualcomm® Networking Pro
Series Platform featuring Wi-Fi 6E technology. The solution offers
scalability and interference mitigation based on its unique air
interface. The platform takes advantage of the 802.11ax standard
and overlays ePMP features such as TDD synchronization, SmartQoS
and frame optimization. The upcoming 6 GHz spectrum will offer 850
MHz of new clean, low noise floor channels that will be ideal for
the new capabilities offered in the ePMP 4600 such as orthogonal
frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), multi-user
multiple-input, multiple-output (MU-MIMO) in both the uplink
and downlink directions and TDD synchronization.
In addition to the 6 GHz radio technology, Cambium Networks
simplifies the process of delivering exceptional user experiences.
The ONE Network platform automatically provisions, manages and
monitors different elements of the network from a single pane of
glass with cnMaestro™ cloud management. The solution spans from
cloud to edge and optimizes multiple technologies, including fixed
wireless (3 GHz CBRS, 5 GHz, 6 GHz, 28 GHz and 60 GHz), indoor and
outdoor Wi-Fi access points, Ethernet switches, Quality of
Experience (QoE) and cnHeat™ LiDAR-based coverage
analysis.
To help service providers make the best use of 6 GHz, Cambium
Networks has developed a 6 GHz playbook that includes detailed
information on the spectrum landscape and the AFC process, as well
as deployment scenarios designed to leverage existing investments.
