Now that the U.S. military, civilian agencies, and NATO countries have exclusive rights to the 4 GHz spectrum for mobile and fixed communications, they need solutions in this range that can operate securely in harsh environments. Engineers at Cambium Networks in Rolling Meadows, IL are meeting these requirements with two point-to-point PTP wireless broadband solutions – the PTP 45600, which operates in the 4.4 to 4.6 GHz licensed radio frequencies, and the PTP 48600 that works in the 4.7 to 5.0 frequencies. Since the 48600 uses the 4.9 band, government agencies may use the same radios for military, civilian, and NATO operations as well as collaborate with state and local agencies.
The Cambium solutions enable connectivity across long-distance line-of-sight paths and over water and through extreme weather conditions. They also support telemetry, land mobile radio backhaul, persistent awareness, and hub and other operations. Both solutions enable security for transporting data, voice, and video and for tracking users who attempt to remove, alter, or update existing hardware and software. Each comes with a FIPS 140-2 level 2 mode and has an optional module available with 1,280-bit or 256-bit AES encryption.
