PMP/PTP 450 Series
Cambium PMP/PTP 450 Series networks are designed for wireless point-to-multipoint and point-to-
point links in the unlicensed/licensed 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 3.65 GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands.
Users must ensure that the PMP/PTP 450 Series complies with local operating regulations.
The PMP/PTP 450 Series enables network operators to grow their business by offering more capacity
for data, voice and video applications.
Key features
The Cambium PMP/PTP 450 Series offers the following benefits:
•
Cambium’s point-to-multipoint and point-to-point solution, with up to 310 Mbps usable throughput
•
State-of-the-art MIMO (Multi In Multi Out) technology
•
Efficient GPS synchronized, scheduled TDD operation for easy Access Point site deployment and
performance that is consistent regardless of subscriber loading
•
A range of cost-effective subscriber device solutions to meet the business case of a network
application
•
MIMO-B Mode: This technique provides for the ability to double the throughput of a radio
transmission under proper RF conditions. Different data streams are transmitted simultaneously on
two different antennas.
•
MIMO-A Mode: This mode of operation using the same modulation levels as the MIMO-B mode,
namely: QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM but it provides an additional combining gain.
