Cambium ePMP 3000 5GHz Connectorized MU-MIMO 4×4 Access Point

Cambium Networks’ ePMP 3000 revolutionizes connectivity in harsh interference environments, setting a new benchmark in performance, scalability, and reliability, all while maintaining an attractive price point. This third-generation access point (AP) leverages the proven interference tolerance mechanisms of its predecessor, the ePMP 2000, and enhances network capabilities with Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology. The ePMP 3000, equipped with a 4X4 MU-MIMO access point, is engineered to double the sector throughput using the same channel bandwidth by concurrently serving two subscribers. This leap in efficiency is further supported by advanced interference mitigation techniques, including a beam steering antenna for superior uplink performance, dynamic filtering for neighboring channel interference, and the robust, field-proven software that underpins the ePMP product line.

The comprehensive ePMP 3000 system includes the ePMP 3000 AP, a high-gain 4X4 sector antenna, an optional beam steering antenna for enhanced signal focus, and subscriber modules with 25 dBi and 16 dBi gains. Designed for high packet-per-second performance, the system achieves peak throughputs of 1.2 Gbps at the access point and supports subscriber modules reaching up to 600 Mbps, ensuring unparalleled service delivery and user experience.

Key Advantages

• Frequency Reuse: Features such as GPS synchronization and SM Transmit power control enable efficient frequency re-use across the network.
