Integrated PTP 700 smart antenna boosts signal
quality while mitigating interference
ROLLING
MEADOWS, Ill., Sept. 26,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambium Networks (NASDAQ: CMBM),
a leading global provider of networking solutions, announced today
the new PTP 700 Beam Steering outdoor unit (ODU) with an
integrated smart antenna that enables antenna alignment in seconds
and high level interference mitigation to provide secure
communications in hostile environments. The Beam Steering ODU
significantly reduces link setup time by automatically and
precisely steering the antenna radiation pattern.
"Defense networks require wireless technology that can be set up
quickly and perform in harsh environments with jamming and
interference," said Mike Ihrig, CEO,
MI Technical Solutions. "One of the biggest challenges in deploying
wireless networks is antenna alignment. Electronic beam steering
addresses this challenge by removing people and manual alignment
systems from the equation. We are eagerly anticipating the
addition of the PTP 45700 with Beam Steering antenna to our
deployed assets, allowing us to continue delivering increased
benefits and capabilities to our warfighters."
Antenna alignment can now be completed in a matter of seconds
instead of the minutes required when using manual alignment or
electromechanical positioners. Beam steering combines the ease of
sector antenna deployments with the performance of highly
directional antennas. The PTP 700 beam steering capabilities can
also steer RF nulls at interferers, increasing the signal to noise
ratio (SNR) and improving communications performance. The Beam
Steering ODU can be used at both ends of a link for optimal
performance or at one end, combined with another PTP 700 ODU
operating in the same band.
In addition to providing rapid link alignment and set-up, the
PTP 700 beam steering capability reduces the need for
electromechanical positioners in shorter links. Eliminating the
electromechanical positioners reduces the cost and complexity of
the complete solution, eliminates an operational point of failure,
and substantially reduces the cost and weight of transporting the
radio nodes – particularly in tactical situations.
"Our solutions support broadband applications for national
defense, federal and civilian agencies, public safety, and national
law enforcement," said Ryan
Peterson, Director of Global Defense and Security, Cambium
Networks. "The latest model takes the performance features like
Dynamic Spectrum Optimization and high spectral efficiency and
adds a smart antenna with beam forming and null steering to
increase interference mitigation."
PTP 700 Beam Steering ODU features:
- 120° azimuth and 30° elevation smart antenna coverage
- Maximizes gain through beamforming
- Supports rapid tactical deployment
- Minimizes system cost, complexity, and weight
- Integrated Spectrum Analyzer, allowing real-time and historical
monitoring of spectrum
- Rugged design, tested to MIL-STD-810H and IP66/67 environmental
specifications
- Interoperable with other PTP 700 models operating in 4.4 –
5.875 GHz band
