Reimagine Connectivity with cnWave 60 GHz: Speed, Scale, and Resilience

By Karthik N

Enterprise networks are evolving fast—and connectivity must keep up. Cambium Networks’ cnWave 60 GHz solution delivers a distributed, high-capacity wireless fabric that rivals fiber in performance while offering unmatched flexibility and cost-efficiency.

At the heart of cnWave is a distributed mesh architecture built for high-density environments. Using a multi-node configuration, cnWave forms resilient mesh topologies where each node can act as a forwarder or fallback, enabling uninterrupted connectivity—even when individual links fail. This design ensures superior reliability and extends network reach without centralized bottlenecks.

High-Speed Performance and Effortless Scalability

Performance is about uptime and delivering speed. cnWave supports multi-gigabit throughput of 5+ Gbps with channel bonding—and maintains ultra-low latency under 1 ms. That’s the responsiveness required for real-time applications like video surveillance, voice communications, and interactive services. For enterprises balancing cost and performance, cnWave offers a compelling alternative or complement to fiber builds.

Scalability is native to cnWave. As demand grows, adding more Points of Presence (POPs) is a seamless process. The solution automatically manages multipath routing via the OpenR protocol, optimizing data flow and reducing downtime risk. Distributed control mechanisms eliminate single points of failure by synchronizing across the mesh, keeping operations smooth and always available.

Tailored Deployment Options for Any Environment

Flexible deployment options are key for diverse enterprise use cases—from smart cities to campuses to industrial zones. cnWave’s client node lineup provides tailored performance for every scenario:

  • V1000: Compact and economical, perfect for short-range (up to 150 meters) links in dense urban areas.
  • V2000: Mid-range node offering extended coverage (up to 600 meters) and reliability for enterprise-grade needs.
  • V3000: High-gain powerhouse engineered for long-range (up to 1.5 kilometers) connectivity in challenging environments.
  • V5000: High-performance distribution node offering up to 280-degree coverage, ideal for urban and suburban environments with flexible deployment options.

Use LINKPlanner for an optimized coverage solution based on your exact geographic location.

Whether you’re replacing last-mile fiber, building out surveillance infrastructure, or expanding broadband in underserved zones, cnWave 60 GHz gives you a path to rapid deployment and enterprise-grade performance—without trenching, delays, or compromise.
