Spec Sheet

Today’s converged multi-service networks need high capacity, availability,
reliability and security with low latency and true affordability. In addition,
you have budgetary, environmental, infrastructure and deployment
requirements that have to be considered. Satisfying all these conditions
takes a real balancing act. Our Cambium Point-to-Point (PTP) 800 Series
Licensed Ethernet Microwave solutions strike just the right balance of
performance and cost.
THE PERFECT FIT
PTP 800 solutions are designed to satisfy the demand for
reliable, high-throughput, and secure Internet Protocol
(IP-based) licensed-microwave communications at an
affordable price. Within the PTP 800 family of solutions,
we offer two equipment architectures – split-mount and
all-indoor. The solutions are designed to provide
connectivity and backhaul for a broad array of applications,
while giving you the flexibility to choose the architecture
that best meets your tower and facility considerations.
PTP 800 SPLIT-MOUNT SOLUTIONS
Our PTP 800 Split-Mount systems deliver up to 368 Mbps
(full duplex) throughput with user-configurable channel
bandwidths from 7 to 56 MHz. The systems operate in the
6 to 38 GHz radio frequency (RF) bands, providing a range
of traditional licensed microwave options that comply with
your local regulatory guidelines.

Our Split-Mount systems
are easy to deploy and typically are installed in a day or two.
PTP 800 Split-Mount links consist of an outdoor radio unit
(ODU), a Compact Modem Unit (CMU), an antenna and the
appropriate accessories. The radio unit and antenna are
deployed on a tower, mast or rooftop. The ODU is connected
directly to the antenna and cable-connected to the CMU
which is installed inside your building or equipment housing
structure. Our Split-Mount systems offer the convenience
of an indoor CMU with the cost savings afforded by cable
versus waveguide.
PTP 800i ALL-INDOOR SOLUTIONS
Our PTP 800i All-Indoor systems deliver up to 236 Mbps
(full duplex) over configurable channel bandwidths from
10 to 40 MHz. The radios operate over Federal
Communication Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC)
authorized 6 and 11 GHz frequencies and the FCC-authorized
7 GHz frequency. For deployments where weather conditions
limit tower climbs or where towers are located in areas that
are not easily accessible, our All-Indoor solution offers an
excellent alternative. Once installed, you have convenient
access to the equipment without a tower climb.
PTP 800i All-Indoor links consist of an Indoor Radio
Frequency Unit (IRFU) and a CMU installed inside a building
or equipment housing structure. Both units are designed to
be rack mounted. All-Indoor systems use the same CMU as
our Split-Mount systems. The high-power radio sends and
receives transmissions through a waveguide which connects
the IRFU to an antenna on a tower, mast or rooftop. You can
custom configure your PTP 800 solution as an all split-mount
system, an all-indoor system, or a combination of the two,
allowing you to engineer your wireless network in the most
cost-efficient manner.
PTP 800i solutions offer the highest transmit power and
system gain in their category, enabling the radios to transmit
reliably over distances up to 50 miles (80 km) in a single hop.
Embedded spatial diversity helps to overcome any
interference and fading caused by atmospheric conditions.
