The XV3-8 features high-density architecture reducing the equipment required while leveraging automation to deliver SLA. XV3-8 includes seamless roaming, fast roaming, automatic RF optimisation and interference avoidance to automatically optimise performance to specific local needs. This Software-Defined 8×8 Multi-Radio AP is equipped with dedicated scanning radio and BLE, WPA3 secure public access, Application Control and 802.3bz Ethernet optimised for high density deployments.
Wi-Fi 6E
The XE3-4 is a tri-radio Wi-Fi 6/6E 4×4/2×2 access point (AP) designed to deliver future-proof performance and value for building next generation networks. Wi-Fi 6 delivers faster and more efficient wireless network connections than previous generation Wi-Fi technologies.
The XE5-8 is a five-radio Wi-Fi 6/6E 8×8/4×4 access point (AP) designed to deliver high-density, future-proof performance for building next generation wireless networks. With five user servicing radios, the XE5-8 delivers the highest density Wi-Fi 6 solution in the industry. Wi-Fi 6E support extends the capacity of Wi-Fi into the 6 GHz band, more than tripling the wireless spectrum available.
The Cambium range of external access points:
Wi-Fi 6/6E
The XV2-23T outdoor 2×2 Wi-Fi 6 AP with long range internal antennas. Ideal for hospitality, education, municipal, transportation and logistics applications.
Cover significantly larger areas in campus networks and public Wi-Fi hotspot applications. Coupling Wi-Fi 6 technology with high efficiency antennas, the XV2-2T delivers up to 1 km range as well as higher throughput at shorter ranges compared to competitive solutions. Covering more area per AP, network operators can save costs on equipment, cabling, installation, maintenance and access rights for outdoor Wi-Fi deployments.
The XE3-4TN is an outdoor Wi-Fi 6/6E Tri-Radio 4×4 Access Point with N-type antenna connectors.
Wi-Fi 5
The e500 is IP67 rated for exposed locations and offers dual band capabilities through an omni-directional antenna plus a second Ethernet port to allow another device such as a camera be powered.
The e501S is identical to the E500 except that it has a 90 to 120º sector antenna for improved performance in noisy environments.
The e502S is identical to the E500 except that it has a 30º sector antenna for improved performance in noisy environments
The e505 is ideal for high density 360º coverage for public Wi-Fi and hospitality deployments 802.11ac Wave 2 and IP67 rated enclosure.
The e510 has extended temperature capabilities with an internal heater, LTE filter and omni directional antenna in an IP67 rated enclosure.
The e700 is an IP67 rated dual band Wave 2 outdoor access point offering Bluetooth, very high throughput and the ability to power an external device such as a camera.
All access points offer social media login to Google+ and Facebook, splash pages and voucher generation. This is perfect for hotels, coffee shops, camping grounds and office WiFi. They offer zero handoff to allow a user walking between access points to maintain a connection rather than it dropping and reconnecting. With the rise in cordless phones and soft phones that operate on wifi, this is important to avoid call drops.
For switching, Cambium offers the range of cnMatrix Ethernet switches; the EX2010, EX2028 and EX2052. With PoE the EX2010P, EX2016M-P, EX2028-P, EX2052-P and EX2052R-P with the EX2052R-P having the option of a choice of three redundant power supplies.
For the cloud management, an account is created in cnMaestro and the access points are added to the dashboard. cnMaestro can be either a public cloud instance or as a VMware image for a private cloud. Once the access point is purchased there are no recurring licensing fees. A hardware appliance is also available – the C4000.
Configuration can begin before the Access Point is taken out of the box then when it is connected to the Internet the configuration is pushed out to it.
In a hospitality environment where quick allocation of voucher codes is desirable, the cnConcierge app makes this easy for front counter staff.
