Cambium (CMBM) Solution Boosts Defense Communication Capability

In this article:

Cambium Networks Corporation CMBM recently introduced the PTP 700 Beam Steering outdoor unit to enhance defense communication infrastructure. The solution’s smart antenna function supports rapid antenna alignment and quick tactical installation in adverse environments.

It seamlessly integrates with other PTP 700 models operating in the 4.4-5.875 GHz band.

Leveraging the integrated spectrum analyzer, it also enables real-time and historical monitoring of the spectrum. This cutting-edge technology has a wide range of use cases for defense, public safety and law enforcement agencies.

Deploying wireless networks with precise antenna alignment is a challenge for defense forces for various reasons. Security operations are highly mobile and maintaining or installing the antenna configuration while in transit often becomes a logistical issue. Various electronic warfare tactics to jam wireless communication systems are also a constant threat. Remote locations, unpredictable situations, physical obstacles and continuous movements also make it more difficult.

The advanced features of PTP 45700, equipped with a smart antenna system, facilitate quick and accurate antenna alignment within seconds. It eliminates the manual alignment procedure and requirement of electromechanical positioners. This also resolves the logistical issue by reducing the cost and weight, immensely improving operational efficiency. The integrated smart antenna also plays a vital role in enhancing the signal quality and minimizing interference.

The Dynamic Spectrum Optimization feature allows spectrum managers and network operators to adapt to the changing program landscape while ensuring reliable connectivity and cost optimization. Cambium’s efforts to develop next-generation communication system will strengthen its portfolio and improve commercial prospects in the defense sector.
