The outdoor RF environment can be very noisy and tough on connectivity. Cambium Networks’ ePMP product line has set the standard for high performance, scalability and reliability in harsh interference environments all at a compelling price. The ePMP 3000™ is the third generation access point (AP) that carries on the interference tolerance mechanisms from ePMP 2000 but adds the power of Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO). The ePMP 3000 is a 4X4 MU-MIMO access point that can double the throughput at the sector level with the same channel bandwidth by serving two subscribers at the same time.
ePMP 3000 includes the ability for network operators to reuse frequencies by using GPS synchronization and SM Transmit Power Control. This enables operators to get the most our of scarce RF spectrum.
Formed from the combination of three major alternative Internet service providers and more than 14 others, Orion Telekom is now the second largest operator and the first alternative provider of landline telephony in Serbia, with more than 100,000 residential broadband subscribers. For business customers, Orion differentiates on providing superior connectivity using the latest technology and excelling in satisfying demanding clients by constantly introducing new services following global trends and technology. For residential customers, Orion offers bundled services including TV, Internet, and phone, with tiers based on maximum throughput.
“Due to our planned expansion into IP television services across Orion’s client base, we selected the ePMP™ platform to increase network performance.” - Slobodan Djinovich, CEO, Orion Telekom
ePMP 3000 provides unmatched performance and scalability. With the efficient Cambium Networks MAC protocol and advanced air-fairness scheduler up to 120 simultaneously active subscriber modules can be served without performance degradation.
I need cost effective outdoor connectivity that performs. What can you do?
ePMP 3000 provides industry leading interference tolerance. The intelligent filtering capability on the receive side makes ePMP 3000 immune to the effects of strong off-channel interferers and on the transmit side serves to reduce off-channel noise for better radio co-location.
ePMP 3000 gets more throughput than less spectrum. As clean spectrum is increasingly hard to find, ePMP 3000 makes the most of available channels. MU-MIMO technology in the downlink effectively doubles the sector capacity by serving two MIMO users at the same time.
ePMP 3000 has Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology. Achieving higher throughput in the downlink is often solved by achieving higher modulation or wider channels. In both cases, the environment and interference prevents achieving higher modulations or operating in wider channel bandwidths. ePMP 3000 employs Multi User MIMO technology (MU-MIMO) to simultaneously transmit to two subscribers in the downlink and thus doubling the throughput in the downlink.
ePMP 3000 has Intelligent Filtering. Noise is always a concern, and as more transmitters are deployed, will continue to be a critical factor in operation. While almost all radios have some type of filtering, many use static filters that block out only noise from outside of the radios total operating spectrum. While this provides a clear channel for operation, these systems with fixed filters still allow noise from neighboring channels to affect system performance. Cambium Networks solutions use dynamic filtering with a static filter to block noise from outside of the operating spectrum but also a dynamic filter to block out interference from adjacent channels. As the system changes to another channel, the system automatically blocks out noise from adjacent channels to improve signal quality.
Get more throughput in less spectrum with Frequency Re-Use. Frequency is limited. There will never be any more of it. By re-using frequencies when deployed in back-to-back configuration, a network operator can effectively use the same frequency twice to connect users. In large deployments, a network operator can connect thousands of users by re-using the same frequencies across the field service area. This technology maximizes the use of available frequency and can provide access to thousands of users in a small amount of spectrum.
Reduce self-interference with GPS Synchronization. When networks become more dense, self interference becomes an issue. GPS synchronization coordinates the entire network, reduces self interference, and keeps network performance high as more subscribers are added
ePMP 3000 has Smart Beamforming and Beam Steering. As more emitters are deployed in the service area, it is important to mitigate noise and interference in order to provide reliable high speed connectivity. The ePMP 3000 Access Point works in conjunction with the optional Beam Steering antenna to create narrow beams in the uplink to improve signal to noise ratio. Placed at the access point on a tower, the smart antenna will create tighter beams to connect with subscribers while nulling out radiation from unwanted emitters in the field.
Antennas can be the limiting factor to performance. Our ePMP 3000 Sector Antenna is designed based on the specific needs of network operators and includes:
Channel Flexibility: Consistent gain from 4.9 to 6.0 GHz allows the operator to select a channel anywhere in the band and achieve the expected performance.
Consistent Coverage: Excellent null fill capabilities of the antenna allow for broad geographical coverage within a sector even near the base of the tower and the edges of the sector.
Designed for the Installer: Small, compact design, integrated ePMP radio mount and GPS antenna integration.
Predictable Performance: The sector antenna is integrated into Cambium Networks LINKPlanner. The 3D model shows coverage at all elevations and across the azimuth.
So in this case, i dont need to use a C050900D020A ePMP 2000: 5GHz Smart Antenna if i purchase the ePMP3000 Access point with C050910D301A- ePMP 4x4 MU-MIMO Sector Antenna?
