Enterprises and municipalities deploy
high-performance networks across large areas more quickly and
efficiently with Cambium's ONE Network solution for wireless access
and backhaul
HOFFMAN
ESTATES, Ill., May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Cambium Networks (NASDAQ: CMBM), a leading
global provider of broadband networking solutions, today announced
that enterprises, municipalities, and system integrators are
successfully deploying private outdoor wireless networks to
campuses, cities, resorts, and warehouses more efficiently and
cost-effectively with Cambium ONE Network solutions. Institutions
and property owners can rapidly deliver Wi-Fi service to users or
IoT devices, such as security cameras, across outdoor areas or to
remote locations using fixed wireless and outdoor Wi-Fi. Cambium
Networks provides secure and reliable connectivity that can be
deployed in hours or days compared to weeks or months.
Cambium's ONE Network solution simplified the operation of the
network by bringing all the technology stack components into one
system. From a single screen, administrators can provision,
monitor, troubleshoot, inventory, and lifecycle-manage a holistic
system as opposed to discrete network elements. Day-to-day
operational tasks are simplified and automated while training
requirements are reduced by providing a converged system view.
Use Cases
The need for robust, utility-grade internet
access extends well beyond common indoor use cases. Outdoor,
private networks, consisting of Wi-Fi and fixed wireless, can be
used to cost effectively connect employees, tenants, and guests, in
addition to a broad range of devices including IoT sensors, control
systems, video surveillance cameras, and more. Cambium Networks
brings together a unique combination of outdoor Wi-Fi and fixed
wireless infrastructure to effectively support these use cases:
Municipal Wi-Fi Networks:
- The City of Huntington
Park, California
recently launched the first phase of an ambitious citywide public
Wi-Fi network. Covering approximately 75 city blocks, the network
leverages Cambium cnWave™ 60 GHz distributed mesh nodes as the
backbone along with long-range outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access points and
cnMatrix™ TX ruggedized switches installed on city-owned
streetlights. "We knew the city's streetlights were optimal for
mounting Wi-Fi APs, but the bigger challenge was how to
interconnect the APs with a reliable backhaul," said Rami Dababneh of LAN WAN Enterprise, a strategic
Cambium partner who installed and operates the network. "Fiber was
cost prohibitive, and we are thankful to have discovered Cambium
Networks' cnWave 60 GHz solution, which not only provides the
necessary bandwidth, but enables network resilience and
redundancy."
- Salt Lake
City's City Connect program includes public Wi-Fi
hotspots in the city center. The network extends the city's fiber
core with Cambium Networks cnWave 60 GHz fixed wireless
broadband access (FWA) to support Wi-Fi access points. The
system can support thousands of people attending large events
and provide PCI-compliant secure communications for credit card
transactions at the farmers' market events. "Our primary goal is to
make free public Wi-Fi available to people," says Nick Kryger, Chief Data Officer, City of Salt Lake City. "The city's solution
also connects video security, smart parking, and other IoT
applications." Read the case study here.
Hospitality:
- Hampshire Property Group is a major holiday and
caravan park operator in Australia. Its Big 4 Howard Springs Holiday
Park in Darwin deployed a complete
Cambium solution for property-wide service, including the: Network
Services Edge (NSE) for redundant WAN service and security;
long-range outdoor Wi-Fi 6 Aps; ruggedized cnMatrix TX switches;
and ePMP™ fixed wireless which backhauls Wi-Fi and CCTV cameras. .
An HPG employee remarked, "The difference is night and day. Our
guests now enjoy uninterrupted connectivity, making their stay with
us even more memorable. We've seen a significant uptick in positive
reviews focusing on our improved amenities, thanks largely to
Cambium Networks' solutions." Read the full case study here.
- A Cambium cnWave 60 GHz fixed wireless and outdoor Wi-Fi
solution helped Pentewan Sands Holiday Park on the Cornish
coast in the United Kingdom meet
the ballooning demand for camping vacations following COVID. The
solution supports up to 1,000 users with 50 Mbps service across the
park. "This year we have noticed a big improvement in connection
reliability, coverage throughout the park, and just speed in
general, which in turn meant happier kids, which then equals happy
parents!" said Scott Miles, a
regular visitor at Pentewan Sands. Read the full case study
here.
Education Campuses:
- At Talladega College in Alabama, cnWave 60GHz links are being
installed on the campus as back up to fiber links to reduce
downtime. The network will be extended to connect additional
buildings to the campus network as an alternative to aerial fiber.
"The cnWave solution provides an innovative alternative to other
connectivity options as well as flexibility for future options as
requirements change," said Phil
Slaughter of EFP Broadband. "This deployment helps
Talladega College improve network
availability while minimizing disruption and aesthetics challenges
installing on this historic campus. And wireless enables
significant cost savings compared to trenching."
Warehouse and Logistics:
- Three of the top five warehouse operators in the USA optimize their operations with
Cambium cnWave 60 GHz fixed wireless backhaul for their Wi-Fi
networks. This flexible combination enables ubiquitous coverage
across indoor and outdoor locations, including distribution
warehouses, loading docks, parking lots, office spaces, and
more.
- Three of the top USA
freight-rail transportation operators are improving safety and
efficiency by equipping freight yards with outdoor Wi-Fi with
a fixed wireless infrastructure from Cambium Networks. Read the
full case study here.
