OVERVIEW OF EPMP

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-point microwave
links in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz, 2.5 GHz (Brazil only), and 5 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 band.
The ePMP Series acts as a transparent bridge between two segments of
networks. In this sense, it can be treated as a virtual wired connection between the Access Point and the
Subscriber Module. 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.

ePMP 3000 Key Features

ePMP 3000 Access Point
ePMP 3000 is a rugged high-capacity outdoor point-to-point link wireless
device in the unlicensed 5 GHz frequency bands with amaximum UDP sector
throughput of 1+ Gbps (when operating with 80 MHzchannel bandwidth). It is
capable of operating in line-of-sight (LOS) and
near-LOS conditions. It is available as a connectorized unit for use with a
separate 4x4 MU-MIMO sector antenna and optional Smart Antenna (for
uplink beam steering).
ePMP 3000 supports backward and forward compatibility with ePMP 802.11n
devices to provide an immediate sector upgrade to 802.11ac Wave 2
performance, and also to support future upgrades of networks operating
ePMP 1000/2000 Access Points.
ePMP 3000 is based on highly-integrated wireless semiconductor
components designed to meet the IEEE 802.11ac standard, however the ePMP
3000 device has a proprietary air interface for the main
point-to-point link.
ePMP 3000 is powered by standard power-over-Ethernet to a 1000Base-T
port.
Management of the unit is conducted via the same interface as the bridged
traffic (in-band Management).
A summary of the main ePMP 3000 characteristics is listed under Table 1.
