Wi-Fi mode allows ePMP subscriber modules to be installed in any existing point-to-multipoint network, and communicate with any access point in Wi-Fi mode. This capability can be used to upgrade any network without interrupting network services, thereby accelerating network migrations.
"With the release of Wi-Fi mode, you can now upgrade your network without a complete forklift. The new software available for ePMP 1000 opens up new opportunities for customers to offer addition services such as video surveillance, Wi-Fi hotspots and connection to sensors," said Sakid Ahmed, senior director of engineering, Cambium Networks. "We will continue to evolve the ePMP platform to ensure we can support our customers' media- rich applications and offer them best-in-class solutions."
Software release 2.3 makes its debut with the ePMP Force 110 PTP and the ePMP Force 110, which can be configured as a subscriber module or access point. This release incorporates the latest updates to eCommandTM and eFortifyTM, which help monitor the network and handle interference.
