Excellence in Wireless Communications


Cambium Networks was founded in 2011 as a spin-off of Motorola Solutions. Since then, Cambium Networks has delivered over 12 million radios to over 150 countries. Cambium’s global defense and security team brings commercial agility to fulfill the unique requirements of the defense space.

Simple – A nomadic, turnkey and toolless wireless networking kitted solution makes installation fast, and integrated deployment-planning software helps optimize network performance

Capable – Wideband radios cover 4400 to 5875 MHz (45700) and 7125 to 8500 MHz (78700), enabling one core radio to perform many missions

Scalable – Modular components enable you to ramp from small tactical networks to dense garrison applications

Efficient – Centralized management with cnMaestro provides a real-time view of the entire network under a single pane of glass
