Deploying enterprise networks across multiple sites has long been a complex, time-consuming, and costly challenge. From tangled logistics to rising labor costs and unverified installations, providers struggle to keep projects on schedule and within budget.
Cambium Networks’ cnMaestro™ platform allows us to reimagine this process. By bringing all network elements together into a seamless end-to-end solution – and working closely with our customers to understand their real-world needs – we have created a platform that optimizes networks, empowers operators with actionable insights, reduces operational costs, and enhances end-user experience.
MarketApps is an application framework built into cnMaestro to address real-world challenges with simple user-facing apps. We are excited to launch MarketApps Installer as a new app to address real-world challenges with network installations. It enables Managed Service Providers (MSPs), system integrators, and facility owners to cut install times by 50% or more, reduce project costs, and bring new levels of consistency and quality control to every site.
The Old Way: Fragmented and Inefficient
Traditionally, network deployments have been burdened by inefficient workflows:
- Access points (APs) were shipped to centralized warehouses.
- Devices were manually unpacked, pre-configured, labeled, repacked, and shipped to final destinations.
- Cabling teams, network admins, and fiber providers followed different standards – some verifying cabling, others not.
- Time, labor, and errors stacked up quickly – increasing costs and delaying project timelines.
- Sparse documentation often created long-term visibility issues for troubleshooting and maintenance.
The New Way with MarketApps Installer
MarketApps Installer simplifies and transforms the deployment process:
- AP pallets are shipped directly to the site – skipping warehouse steps.
- Installers pick any AP, scan it, assign a location label, and mount it.
- Cable link and speed tests are performed on-site and logged automatically.
- Photos of each AP placement and surrounding environment are captured.
- A full audit trail records who installed what, where, and when.
- If an AP needs replacement later, simply scan the new one – configuration is applied instantly.
The result? Faster deployments, reduced costs, improved visibility, and dramatically fewer issues in the field.
Real-World Benefits for MSPs and Property Owners
- 50% or more faster deployments – accelerate go-live dates across multi-site projects.
- Lower overall project costs – eliminate warehouse labeling, minimize site revisits.
- Increased first-time success rates – standardized install-quality with built-in link tests and reports.
- Proactive maintenance – leverage testing and photo documentation to prevent issues.
