cnWave 5G Fixed Wireless
Service providers can profitably expand into new markets with 5G based fixed wireless leveraging Cambium Networks’ wireless fabric portfolio. cnWave 5G Fixed NR-based solution is purpose-built for fixed wireless access.
Delivering high speed and low latency, the solution complements fiber or mobile infrastructure, which cannot meet challenging ROI targets in low and medium-density environments.
5G Fixed Features
Technical Overview
Operating in the mmWave bands from 24.25 to 29.50 GHz, encompassing the 3GPP 5G channels N257, N258, and N261, Cambium Networks’ 5G Fixed solution will leverage the technological advantages of the 3GPP 5G NR Protocol and frame structure optimized for fixed wireless applications. The solution features the simplicity of deployment planning and centralized cloud management that distinguish Cambium Networks wireless solutions.
Performance and Scale
Utilizing 112 MHz wide channels, cnWave 5G Fixed can provide over 3 Gbps of throughput. In addition, the system can support up to 240 subscribers per sector with a range up to 7 km. The system is designed to operate in urban, suburban, and rural locations.
