Overview

What it is and who it is for

The Cambium Networks PMP430 SM 5490SM20 is a subscriber module designed for deployment within Cambium PMP 430 point-to-multipoint wireless broadband networks. Operating in the 5.4 GHz band using OFDM technology, this unit serves as the customer-premises endpoint in a distributed wireless access architecture, connecting individual sites back to a centrally located access point. It is well suited for service providers, enterprise operators, and network integrators who need to extend broadband connectivity across diverse terrain and building environments, including both line-of-sight and near-line-of-sight conditions. The module supports simultaneous delivery of data, voice, and video traffic, making it appropriate for demanding mixed-use deployments. GPS-synchronized network operation is supported, enabling disciplined co-location and interference management across larger installations. Professional installers benefit from a platform that integrates cleanly into existing Cambium PMP 430 infrastructure, simplifying network expansion without introducing architectural complexity. Software-based throughput licensing provides operators with a structured path to increase capacity as subscriber demand grows, without requiring hardware replacement.

Key features & benefits

  • Point-to-Multipoint Subscriber Module — Functions as the remote endpoint within a Cambium PMP 430 network, enabling individual subscriber sites to connect to a shared wireless access infrastructure managed from a central access point.
  • OFDM Wireless Technology — Employs orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing to maintain reliable signal integrity across varied propagation environments, supporting consistent performance where traditional single-carrier solutions may be challenged.
  • LOS and nLOS Environment Support — Engineered to operate effectively in both clear line-of-sight and obstructed near-line-of-sight conditions, broadening deployment flexibility across suburban, rural, and complex terrain scenarios.
  • Multi-Service Traffic Support — Capable of carrying data, voice, and video traffic concurrently, making it suitable for operators delivering converged service packages to end users or enterprise sites.
  • GPS Synchronization Compatibility — Works within GPS-synchronized network deployments, allowing operators to coordinate transmit timing across multiple access points and reduce inter-system interference in dense or co-located installations.
  • Software-Licensed Throughput Expansion — Capacity upgrades are available through fixed software licensing, giving operators a cost-effective and non-disruptive method to scale individual subscriber module performance as network demands evolve.
  • Native PMP 430 Infrastructure Integration — Designed specifically for use within the Cambium PMP 430 ecosystem, ensuring straightforward provisioning, management, and compatibility with existing network infrastructure investments.
