Here are some frequently asked questions around these products:

Q.

How do these products differ from the existing 5 GHz 450i?

A.

ATEX/HAZLOC certification is typically only needed in extreme operating environments.  Physically, the products appear the same, but there are some component and software differences for the certified model numbers.

Q.

Do these models interoperate with existing PMP 450 products?

A.

Yes, the ATEX/HAZLOC certified PMP 450i models will interoperate with existing AP and SMs.

Q.

Why is the lead time different from the standard product?

A.

These models must be built and certified to the final model number in the factory, unlike our typical products, which can be optionally configured at our distribution center.  Therefore, Cambium will not be holding stock of the many models available, and these will be built on a per order basis.

Q.

Which Power Injectors should I use?

A.

To stay compliant to the ATEX/HAZLOC certification, only ATEX certified AC + DC Enhanced Power Injector models (EMT16ATEX0052X / IECEx EMT 16.0029X) provided by Cambium Networks Ltd may be used in conjunction with the equipment. Part Number: C000065L002C

Q.

Which Surge Suppressor should I use?

A.

To stay compliant to the ATEX/HAZLOC certification, only ATEX certified LPU kits (EMT16ATEX0051X / IECEx EMT 16.0028X) provided by Cambium Networks Ltd may be used in conjunction with the equipment. Part Number: C000065L007B

Q.

Is there anywhere I can find additional information on ATEX/HAZLOC topics?
