Cambium Networks jailbreaks first wireless broadband network

Cambium Networks has announced ePMP Elevate, a software solution allowing outdoor wireless broadband networks to gain the signature capabilities of Cambium Networks’ ePMP platform, including frequency reuse enabled by GPS Synchronization and Smart Beamforming, even on non-Cambium Networks 802.11n-based hardware.
 
As it becomes increasingly important for wireless network operators to keep up with customer demands, the cost and time of traditional network migration methods can be major pain points. The launch of ePMP Elevate takes network migration to the next level, solving the challenges of traditional network migration methods at a fraction of the cost and time. Network operators simply need a single ePMP access point and to load their deployed subscriber modules with ePMP Elevate software. Their hardware investment is protected, and their existing infrastructure is given a new lease on life to support revenue-generating applications for years to come. Additionally, network operators are able to extend high-speed connectivity and increase density to meet customer demand without the time and expense of dispatching technicians to each subscriber location.
 
“ePMP Elevate is a software solution that is hardware agnostic,” said Atul Bhatnagar, President and CEO of Cambium Networks.  “Network operators with radio hardware from one or multiple vendors can now operate one network with a common management system without replacing installed CPE hardware.”
 
ePMP Elevate networks can be managed by cnMaestro. This cloud-based or on-premise platform provides end-to-end management, device onboarding, and maintenance support for wireless broadband networks from a single, easy-to-use interface.
 
Cambium Networks is hosting a free webinar on ePMP Elevate to present the features, benefits, share actual field performance, and discuss deployment strategies. The webinar will be held on Wednesday, November 30, at 9:00 a.m.  US CST.
