Networks
Cambium Networks (with Headquarters in Chicago, USA) is a leading global provider of wireless broadband solutions that “connect the unconnected”. They acquired Motorola’s wireless business in 2011. They currently have three Research and Development Centers around the world. They hold the World Record for the Longest Microwave Link at 245.8Kms.
product description:
Cambium provides wireless solutions in both 5GHz, 3.3GHz, Wifi & Licensed Frequencies. They have over 75,000 access points and 5,000,000 backhaul radios deployed across thousands of demanding networks in more than 150 countries totalling over $1 Billion in orders.
Key reasons to work with cambium networks:
• Technologically advanced products
• Opportunity of working within the 5GHz (ISM band) due to significant investment in Interference Mitigation technologies
• Very high Spectral Efficiency on both PTP & PMP product ranges (more throughput for less spectrum)
• CnMedusa can achieve market leading 20bits per Hertz spectral efficiency
• Forward & Backward Compatibility on product sets, therefore offering scalability and clearly defined upgrade path for network operators.
In addition, Cambium offer significant financial advantages:
• Free Annual Support
• Free IOS updates & upgrades
• Free Cambium Helpdesk 24×7
• Free NMS (Network Management System)
Cambium Networks & Eldama can deliver both technical and financial leadership in your market, making you more competitive by offering excellent products and services, improving your network uptime, reducing your customer service requirements and saving you money.
