This growth has been, and continues to be, driven by escalating demands for video content, smart-device adoption and usage, advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE), and small-cell technologies. Tomorrow promises to bring an explosion of enterprise applications for smart phones and tablets. Designed to boost employee productivity and increase customer acceptance, these mission-critical applications will require high bandwidth, throughput, and security to efficiently support vital infrastructure. All signs indicate that data, voice, and video traffic will continue to grow exponentially as more and more devices share applications and information. The available spectrum is becoming scarce, and network operators are looking to sub-6 GHz solutions to fill the void. When deploying a sub-6 GHz solution for mission- critical applications, it is essential that the system be able to overcome a wide array of environmental challenges such as obstructions, interference, over-water fading, and severe weather conditions. At Cambium Networks, we are focused on supplying ultra-reliable solutions that accommodate ever-escalating requirements for reliability, speed, versatility, and security. Our Dynamic Spectrum Optimization, narrow channel operations, and high spectral efficiency make our Cambium PTP 650 Series wireless Ethernet bridges the lowest-risk approach to sub-6 GHz deployment. We have engineered PTP 650 systems to deliver industry-leading, rapid-deployment and future-proof connectivity and backhaul for high- performance networks.

  • Emerging Standards 5G and 802.11Ax
    CAMBIUM NETWORKS FORTIFIES ITS WIRELESS FABRIC WITH Emerging Standards 5G and 802.11ax Atul Bhatnagar, President and CEO Cambium Networks WHAT IS 5G? At its simplest, 5G refers to fifth-generation mobile communications. In some contexts, it specifically refers to standards that meet the IMT-2020 requirements published by the ITU-R in 2012. In others, it is more about the associated advanced technology or the wide range of new services enabled by the 5G networks and related to avoid repeat of associated technology. The IMT-2020 requirements extend to three main uses cases: 1) enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB); 2) massive machine- type communications (mMTC); and 3) ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). 5G, by being flexible enough to address these different and frequently conflicting use cases, will enable a diverse set of new services. The 3GPP LTE release 10 standard was recognized by the ITU-R as a fourth-generation mobile communications standard in 2010. While LTE continues to be enhanced and supports data rates of >1 Gbps as well as IOT (Internet of Things) applications, LTE was unable to meet IMT-2020 requirements. For this reason, 3GPP developed a new air interface, 5G NR. By combining 5G NR and LTE, 3GPP provides a composite standard meeting IMT-2020 requirements. The dominant use case for 5G, at least for the short to medium term, will be mobile broadband delivered by MNOs. Anticipated revenues from this are driving investment in chip technology for handsets and fixed wireless access solutions. HOW IS CAMBIUM NETWORKS USING 5G-LIKE TECHNOLOGIES TODAY? An important use case for 5G is Fixed Wireless Broadband (FWB).

Connectivity solutions often needed to be added, changed or removed; however, they communications also needed to manually install subscriber modules (SM) to communicate with fixed wireless infrastructure must access points (AP). Manual installations meant field engineers spent more time on installations, be a highly reliable management allocated more spending toward installations, and the company had to use expensive and resilient system. cellular networks. But with wireless connectivity, their options expanded. They would be able to configure the deployment mechanism in advance, ensure that the SM always pointed to the desired AP, and allow their team to quickly deploy and connect an SM to an AP. All these benefits would allow their installation team to focus elsewhere. They hypothesized that if they adopted fixed wireless access, installation time to align an SM to an AP would take ten minutes or less.
