Product Overview

Cambium Networks ePMP 5 GHz Force 4518 Series Fixed Wireless Subscriber Module

Multi-Gbps capacity leveraging 80 MHz channels and 802.11ax technology spanning from 5150–5920 MHz

PMP 450Subscriber

Product Highlights

New in ePMP Software Release 5.12 — turn this Subscriber Module into an Access Point.

A new ePMP AP License Key converts any Force 4000 Series SM (5 GHz or 6 GHz) into a fully functioning ePMP Access Point — no new hardware required. Ideal for seeding a new coverage area before committing to a full AP, microPOP coverage/capacity fill-ins, overlaying a 6 GHz microcell in an existing 5 GHz sector, point-to-a-few-points campus links, and proving market viability (take-rate / ARPU) ahead of a full sector build.

Service providers face ever-increasing demand for capacity in a Modules (SM) meet this demand by offering high performance and point (PTP) deployments.

Interoperability with the ePMP 4500, which uses MU- MIMO to achieve up to multiple Gbps per sector by transmitting to ePMP SMs simultaneously

Ideal Applications

Fixed wireless broadband distribution to rural, suburban, and underserved communities at scale. ISP last-mile buildouts requiring scalable point-to-multipoint architecture with high spectral efficiency.
