charge planning tool enabling network designers to predict both capacity and availability of networks crossing all of Cambium’s technologies

Manufactured in the United States, the cnReach A-Block radio is designed specifically for telco and signaling applications in the North American rail industry. cnReach A-Block has a tailored UI to make it easy to align the configuration to the national A-block channel plan and has been tested to AREMA standards for shock and vibration roadbed environments.

Covering large geographic areas, hard-to-reach terrain, and challenging spectrum environments, cnReach eases the migration to modern networks by combining legacy serial and analog/digital I/O with TCP/IP and Ethernet connectivity.

Fully integrated into the single-pane-of-glass cnMaestro™ Network Management platform, cnReach helps bridge the IT/OT sides of complex organizations.

Combining cnReach’s licensed and unlicensed narrow-band radios with Cambium Networks’ broadband technologies, industrial organizations are delivering end-to-end industrial internet of things (IIoT) solutions today.

Ideal Applications

896–935 MHz A-Block narrowband IoT/SCADA radio for utility AMI, substation telemetry, oil & gas monitoring, and critical infrastructure control networks over long distances.
