For LINKPlanner users, a bill of materials is more than a parts list. It is often the bridge between network design, project planning, customer quoting, and deployment. The faster and more confidently teams can create and manage BOMs, the easier it becomes to move from design to execution.
That is why the latest LINKPlanner BOM Estimator v1.2.0 release is an important step forward. This update is designed to make BOM creation easier to manage, harder to lose, and better aligned with real deployment workflows.
You can view the full release details in the LINKPlanner BOM Estimator v1.2.0 Community post.
Keep Your BOM Projects Organized
One of the biggest improvements in this release is the ability to manage BOM projects directly from your account. Users can now save, open, rename, clone, and delete projects, making it much easier to work across multiple designs or customer scenarios.
This matters because BOM work is rarely one-and-done. Network plans evolve. Customers ask for options. Teams compare product combinations, revise assumptions, and return to previous versions. With v1.2.0, users have a more practical way to keep that work organized instead of relying only on manual exports or local files.
Spend Less Time Recreating Work
Few things are more frustrating than building out a BOM and realizing later that changes were not saved. This release helps reduce that risk with clearer save behavior and warnings when unsaved changes are present.
That may sound simple, but it is a meaningful workflow improvement. LINKPlanner BOM Estimator users often work through multiple decisions in a single session. Better save visibility helps protect progress and gives users more confidence when switching projects or starting something new.
Move More Easily Between Planning Sessions
With cloud-based project handling, users can come back to their BOM work more easily. Projects are sorted by recent activity, and work started before logging in can sync after login.
For teams juggling several opportunities, sites, or design alternatives, this helps turn the BOM Estimator into a more persistent project workspace rather than a single-session tool.
Better Support for Real-World Deployments
Version 1.2.0 also adds product updates that help BOMs better reflect the latest product changes. This includes support for new cnMatrix™ EX3000 25 Gbps fiber transceiver options, Egypt-specific Wi-Fi 6 SKUs, and updated PoE part numbers.
These updates are important because BOM accuracy directly affects quoting, ordering, and installation planning. The closer the estimator is to current product and regional requirements, the more useful it becomes as a planning tool.
Easier Access for More Users
The release also expands login support with Cambium SSO and Channel Partner Portal SSO. This helps make the BOM Estimator easier to access for both internal teams and partners who rely on the tool as part of their planning and proposal workflows.
A Smoother Experience from Design to Deployment
The LINKPlanner BOM Estimator v1.2.0 release is focused on practical improvements that help users work more efficiently: saving projects, protecting changes, managing multiple BOMs, and keeping product selections current.
For LINKPlanner BOM Estimator users, these updates help reduce friction in the planning process and make it easier to move confidently from a network design to a complete, actionable bill of materials.
