PTP 500 SOLUTIONS

AFFORDABLE WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY AND BACKHAUL
FOR VIRTUALLY ALL PATH CONDITIONS
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 All PTP 500 systems start with a base model that provides KEY FEATURES
