Spec Sheet

In today’s global economy, you need the ability to respond quickly to changes
in demand, staffing and resources. Having the right information at the right
time is crucial to make informed, insightful decisions. Your communication
network has to provide relevant information when you need it. However,
meeting performance and environmental requirements within a tight budget
can be a real challenge. Now you can deploy a solution that fits both your
needs and budget with our Cambium Point-to-Point (PTP) 500 Solutions.
PROBLEMS ARE NO PROBLEM
PTP 500 Ethernet microwave radios are designed to give
you the connectivity and backhaul you need to achieve
your communication goals. In non-line-of-sight (NLOS),
long-distance line-of-sight (LOS) and high-interference
environments, over water and desert terrain, and through
severe weather conditions, you can rely on our radios to
transport your information quickly, reliably and securely.
GREAT CHOICE AND SCALABILITY
PTP 500 systems operate in the 5.4 and 5.8 GHz license-
exempt bands and offer Integrated and Connectorized
options.
• Integrated: Integrated models have dual built-in
antennas and require no external antenna.
• Connectorized: Connectorized models can be equipped
with external antennas, allowing you to connect over
greater distances at a higher level of reliability and speed
than comparable systems. They are perfect for long-
distance hops or deep NLOS environments.

All PTP 500 systems start with a base model that provides
up to 25 Mbps throughput capacity. At order time or
anytime after ordering, you can upgrade your throughput
capacity from 25 Mbps to 52 or 105 Mbps without a
hardware change or costly tower climb. If you are not sure
which capacity best fits your requirements, PTP 500 radios
include a one-time, 60-day trial period at full capacity.
This “try before you buy” opportunity lets you evaluate
your throughput needs in real network-loading scenarios.
Following the evaluation period, you can upgrade right away
or plan your capacity increases over time.
PTP 500 radios average 239 years of projected elapsed time
between equipment failures (Mean Time Between Failures
or MTBF). Because they withstand the abuse of outdoor
conditions, you can deploy our ruggedized radios wherever
you need them. Plus, the systems offer selectable channel
sizes and variable data rates.
