The new subscriber modules leverage an advanced 802.11ac Wave 2 on-chip solution to expand the ePMP 3000 portfolio, offering a small form factor design for short-range modules, a point-to-point (PTP) antenna-based medium-gain panel solution, and a rackmount option with 4.9 GHz support for the public safety market.
Network operators can continue to take advantage of 4x4 MU-MIMO with the ePMP 3000 as an access point, and it is backward compatible with the ePMP 1000 and 2000 access points.
• The Force 300-13 is ideal for short-range links in applications such as CCTV surveillance traffic or short-range urban internet connectivity. The module supports 20, 40, and 80 MHz channel sizes and modulations up to 256 QAM. The unit has a small design and an integrated 13 dBi panel antenna for locations with limited space or where aesthetics are paramount.
• The Force 300-19 is used for medium-range links and is useful for operators who prefer a panel antenna design over a dish antenna. The panel antenna is ideal for locations where dish antennas are unsuitable and offers similar performance.
• The Force 300-19R, which offers a similar design to the Force 300-19 and 300-19R, is useful for large enterprises, government agencies, and industrial applications in weatherproof racks. This module also offers narrow channels of 5 and 10 MHz size for point-to-point applications, making it very useful in the licensed 4.9 GHz frequency band.
The three new ePMP Force 300 products join the Force 300-16 and Force 300-25 to offer a complete suite of subscriber radios to address a wide range of network operator applications. Operators can quickly design high-fidelity links with the free LINKPlanner1 version 5.1 software, model network coverage in cnHeat, and monitor network performance with the free end-to-end management system cnMaestro ™.
