Chapter 1: Product Description
This chapter provides a high-level description of the ePMP product. It describes the function of the
product, the main product variants, and the typical installation. It also describes the main hardware
components.
The following topics are described in this chapter:
⚫
The key features, typical uses, product variants, and components of the ePMP are explained in the
Overview of ePMP.
⚫
How the ePMP wireless link is operated, including modulation modes, power control, and security
is described under Wireless operation.
⚫
The ePMP management system, including the web interface, installation, configuration, alerts, and
upgrades is described in System management.
Overview of ePMP
This section introduces the key features, typical uses, product variants, and components of the ePMP
portfolio as a whole (802.11n and 802.11ac products).
Purpose – ePMP Portfolio
Cambium ePMP Series products are designed for Ethernet bridging over point-to-multipoint and point-
to-point microwave links in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz, 2.5 GHz (Brazil only), 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. Users
must ensure that the ePMP Series complies with local operating regulations.
ePMP devices support point-to-point microwave links in the unlicensed 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands.
The ePMP Series acts as a transparent bridge between two segments of the operator and customers’
networks. In this sense, it can be treated as a virtual wired connection between the Access Point (AP) and
the Subscriber Module (SM). The ePMP series forwards 802.3 Ethernet packets destined for the other
part of the network and filters packets it does not need to forward and can deliver unicast data to
unknown destinations as broadcast, similar to a switch functionality.
ePMP 3000
The ePMP 3000 is a rugged high-capacity outdoor point-to-multipoint or point-to-point link wireless
device in the unlicensed 5 GHz frequency bands with a maximum UDP sector throughput of up to 1+
Gbps (when operating with 80 MHz channel bandwidth).
⚫
It is capable of operating in Line-of-Sight (LoS) and near-LoS conditions and supports Quality of
Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization.
⚫
It is available as a connectorized unit for use with a separate 4x4 MU-MIMO Sector/Dual-Horn/Omni
antenna and optional Smart Antenna (for uplink beam steering).
⚫
ePMP 3000 supports maximum information rate (MIR) further allowing the operator to manage traffic
profiles for end customers.
⚫
ePMP 3000 provides Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for North America (FCC) and supports
additional DFS tuning balances detection of actual DFS signals vs false detection.
