Overview of the PMP/PTP 450 platform
This section introduces the key features, typical uses, product variants and components of the PMP/PTP 450
platform.
Purpose
Cambium PMP/PTP 450 platform Series products are designed for Ethernet bridging over point-topoint and point-
to-multipoint microwave links in unlicensed and lightly-licensed frequency bands 900MHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.5/3.65 GHz
and 4.9 to 5.925 GHz.
Users must ensure that the 450 platform Series complies with local operating regulations.
The 450 platform Series acts as a transparent bridge between two or more segments of the operator’s network. In
this sense, it can be treated as a virtual wired connection among points. The 450 platform Series forwards 802.3
Ethernet frames destined for the other part of the network and filters frames it does not need to forward. The
system is transparent to higher-level protocols such as VLANs.
