Figure 1: PMP/PTP 450 Platform Family typical bridge deployment Note Lightning protection and power supply differs between variants. Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) The PMP configuration of 450 Platform Family consists of AP and SM ODU. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel in each direction using Time Division Duplexing (TDD). The AP operates in Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) mode to service multiple SMs.
Page 40
PTP (Backhaul) The PTP configuration of 450 Platform Family consists of two BH (Backhaul) ODUs. The customer can decide, via software configuration, if this unit is a BHM (Backhaul Master) or a BHS (Backhaul Slave). The radio link operates on a single frequency channel using TDD. The BHM operates in TDMA mode to service the BHS.
Page 41
All power injectors/power supplies in the Cambium Networks range are designed for an indoor environment. Different ODUs require different power requirements, so be sure to select the correct power supply. Surge protection units: A range of surge protectors is available to suit different ODUs The Gigabit Surge Suppressor provides a path to ground (Protective Earth) that protects connected radio equipment from near-miss lightning strikes.
Page 42
Figure 2: TDD frame division TDD frame parameters The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following: Channel bandwidth Cyclic prefix (CP) Frame period Frame configuration - Downlink data Link operation – Dynamic rate adaptation OFDM and Channel bandwidth The PMP/PTP 450 Platform Family transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This wideband signal consists of many equally spaced subcarriers.
Page 43
Cyclic prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol (slot) to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. The 450 Platform Family ODUs have been locked to a 1/16 CP.

Rate MIMO-B MIMO-A 16-QAM 4X MIMO-B 2X MIMO-A 64-QAM 6X MIMO-B 3X MIMO-A 256-QAM 8X MIMO-B 4X MIMO-A Note MIMO-A achieves half the throughput of MIMO-B but adds a combining diversity (gain) which enhances the link budget or availability. Encryption The 450 Platform Family supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link.
Page 45
An MU-MIMO access point estimates and measures what a transmission from each wireless node sounds like, by applying knowledge of the wireless path characteristics between the access point and the node. Known as channel estimation, this process is of vital importance; without it, the access point cannot distinguish properly between wireless nodes, affecting its performance.

Foliage from trees and plants within the Fresnel Zone can contribute to signal loss. The degree of loss may vary based on seasonal foliage density, moisture content, and other factors such as wind. If it's necessary to transmit through foliage, consider conducting frequent and regular link tests to assess and mitigate the impact.

Co-location between Cambium 3 GHz PMP devices and LTE and 5G-NR devices When co-locating deployments in the same geographical area it is important to select the correct system parameters in order to avoid interference. Cambium PMP, LTE, and 5G-NR are all TDD systems, which means that the same frequency resources are used both in the downlink and in the uplink but multiplexed in time.
Page 170
Table 121: LTE frame configuration options Configuration Frame time Subframe number 5 ms 5 ms 5 ms 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms 5 ms Frame length TDD systems can be co-located only if they have the same frame length. Figure 67 shows why it is not possible to co-locate APs supporting mismatched frame lengths.
Page 171
Since in the Cambium PMP system all frames have the same downlink/uplink structure, the Cambium PMP system cannot be co-located with an LTE system operating with Frame Configuration 6. In the Cambium PMP UI the frame length is selected in the Configuration > Radio > Radio Configuration page under Frame Period, as shown in Chapter This parameter must be configured to 5 ms.
Page 172
align to the beginning of subframe 4, not subframe 0. With this shift, the sequence of subframes in the LTE frame becomes D, D, S, U, U, which is the same structure as the Cambium PMP frame (downlink, turnaround time, uplink). When selecting one of the LTE Frame Configuration options from the Co-located Frame Configuration Option drop-down menu, a shift is applied to the Cambium PMP frame to correctly line up with the selected LTE frame.
Page 173
Once the LTE Frame Configuration is selected from the drop-down menu, the LTE downlink and uplink times are defined. The Cambium PMP frame times are determined by the following configuration parameters: Channel bandwidth: This parameter defines the amount of spectrum allocated for communication in the sector.

Starting with Release 22.0, the radio automatically adjusts the duty cycle to allow co-location, but the co- location tool is described here because it can still be used as a reference ahead of time, to know what to expect in terms of the radio’s calculations of the duty cycle. The PMP –...

Automatic duty cycle adjustment Starting in Release 22.0, the user no longer needs to use the PMP-LTE co-location tool.

Page 176
5G-NR frame configuration options The 5G-NR standard offers a lot of flexibility in terms of frame structure options. The PMP system will first allow co-location with some of these options, and more can be added over time as needed. Currently, co-location with these 5G-NR frame options is supported: DDDSU Frame length: 2.5 ms Number of full DL slots: 3...

Page 178
However, other parameters affect the PMP frame structure, and the user could adjust some of those parameters instead of or in addition to just changing the duty cycle. To help with the selection of system parameters, Cambium Networks offers a PMP – 5G-NR co-location tool, available at https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/colocationtool/.
Page 179
Figure 81: Example of PMP – 5G-NR co-location with invalid parameters Using the tool, parameters can be updated to find a set of values that allows for co-location. For example, changing the duty cycle of the PMP AP from 75% to 80% makes both equations true, and there is no longer an overlap between one AP transmitting and the other receiving.

5.740 GHz 5.760 GHz 5.780 GHz Considerations on back-to-back frequency reuse When considering back-to-back frequency reuse, Cambium Networks recommends employing the ABAB frequency reuse pattern, (Figure 85 in the example layout of 16 AP sectors (ABCD) with 90-degree sectors. This approach allows for the creation of a base site with four sectors using only two frequencies, which is particularly effective in situations where high capacity is needed within a limited spectrum.
Page 182
4. Absence of reflecting objects: There must be no large reflecting objects within the exclusion zones defined in this section. 5. Line-of-Sight (LoS): SMs must not have a typical line-of-sight to an interfering base station. In the example layout of 16 AP sectors, the worst-case range ratio is 5:1, providing only 14 dB protection in LoS, which falls short of the required 30 dB for 256QAM capability.

Assuming that the potential reflecting object is visible to both the AP and the SM, several factors come into play, including object sizes and specific zones where we can anticipate interference that may affect throughput when both Sector 1 and Sector 3 are transmitting data. The Sector Antenna and cnMedusa Antenna diagrams depict regions labeled as A, B, C, and D.

Page 186
Both the Sector Antenna and cnMedusa Antenna have three figures with measurements scaled in meters, assuming a typical down tilt of 4°. In each set of figures: The top figure illustrates the clearances required at zero azimuth. The middle figure shows the scaling required in relation to the top Figure to account for variations in the azimuth of the reflecting object.
Page 187
PMP 450m installation recommendations For optimal performance, it is advisable to maintain a clearance zone around the mast. The size of this clearance zone varies depending on the surrounding environment and the down tilt of the antenna. In situations where the mast is surrounded by metal structures, a larger clearance is necessary compared to areas with foliage.
Page 188
By thoroughly evaluating these factors, you can make informed decisions about the link feasibility, antenna placement, and radio frequency band selection for your deployment. This helps optimize performance and minimizes the impact of obstacles on your wireless network. Path loss Path loss is a critical factor that measures the attenuation of a radio signal as it travels between two points in a wireless link.
Page 189
Seasonal Fading (dB) Equipment Capability (dB) Calculating Link Loss The link loss is the total attenuation of the wireless signal between two point-to-multipoint units. The link loss calculation is presented below: Link Loss (dB) = Transmit power of the remote wireless unit (dBm) - Tx Cable loss (dB) - Received power at the local unit (dBm) - Rx cable loss (dB) + Antenna gain at the remote unit (dBi) + Antenna gain at the local unit (dBi).
Page 190
The Rx signal level calculation presumes that a clear line of sight is established between the transmitter and receiver and that no objects encroach in the Fresnel zone. Calculating fade margin Free space path loss is a significant factor in determining the received (Rx) signal level. The Rx signal level, in turn, plays a crucial role in calculating the system's operating margin, also known as the fade margin.
Page 191
Calculating RF cable length (5.8 GHz FCC only) The FCC approval for the 5.8 GHz band for this product is based on tests conducted with a cable loss between the ODU and antenna not less than 1.2 dB. If the cable loss falls below 1.2 dB when using a 1.3 m (4 ft) diameter external antenna, the connectorised 450 Platform Family may exceed the maximum radiated spurious emissions allowed under FCC 5.8 GHz rules.

Each module necessitates an IP address within the network, which is exclusively designated for management purposes. For security considerations, you must adhere to one of the following practices: 1. Assign a non-routable IP address. 2. Assign a routable IP address only when a firewall is present to safeguard the module. Allocate IP addresses to computers and network components using either static or dynamic IP addressing methods.
Page 195
Unique MAC address IP address of 169.254.1.1 Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 Network gateway address of 169.254.0.0 To ensure security, assign an IP address for each radio and CMM4/CMM5 that aligns with your network's IP addressing plan and cannot be accessed from the Internet. It's important to note that IP addresses within the following ranges are not routable from the Internet, regardless of whether a firewall is configured: 10.0.0.0 –...

The Translation Bridging feature can be enabled or disabled through the General page of the Configuration web page in the AP. When this feature is disabled, the configuration of the "Send Untranslated ARP" parameter does not impact packet forwarding, as all packets are forwarded without modification (with the source MAC address intact).
Page 197
SM membership in VLANs With the supported VLAN functionality, the radios determine bridge forwarding on the basis of not only the destination MAC address, but also the VLAN ID of the destination. This provides flexibility in how SMs are used: Each SM can be a member in its own VLAN.
Page 198
any combination of with a VID not Local Egress VLAN in the parameter settings membership table Priority on VLANs (802.1p) The radios can prioritize traffic based on the eight priorities described in the IEEE 802.1p specification. When the high-priority channel is enabled on a SM, regardless of whether VLAN is enabled on the AP for the sector, packets received with a priority of 4 through 7 in the 802.1p field are forwarded onto the high- priority channel.

Network management planning This section describes how to plan for 450 Platform Family links to be managed remotely using SNMP. Planning for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) operation In SNMP , Cambium modules provide various SNMP traps to notify a Network Management System (NMS) about specific events or conditions.
Page 200
Note The proprietary Management Information Bases (MIBs) for the 450 Platform Family are available for download from the support website of Cambium Networks. These MIBs are essential for managing and monitoring Cambium modules using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). If you need access to these MIBs, you can refer to the support website or contact Cambium Networks for assistance on where to find and download them.

Protocol and port filtering is set per AP/SM/BH. Except for filtering of SNMP ports, filtering occurs as packets leave the AP/SM/BH. For example, if SM is configured to filter SNMP, then SNMP packets are blocked from entering the SM and, thereby, from interacting with the SNMP portion of the protocol stack on the SM. Port filtering with NAT Enabled When NAT is enabled on the SM/BHS, port filtering can be applied to user-defined ports.

The proper angle of tilt can be calculated as a factor of both the difference in elevation and the distance that the link spans. Even in this case, a plumb line and a protractor can be helpful to ensure the proper tilt. This tilt is typically minimal. The number of degrees to offset (from vertical) the mounting hardware leg of the support tube is equal to the angle of elevation from the lower module to the higher module (<B in the example provided in Straight-through Ethernet Cable).
Page 305
Where: expressed in feet expressed in miles The angle of depression from the higher module is identical to the angle of elevation from the lower module.

Page 318
Figure 152: Yagi antenna alignment - downward tilt Alignment of the 4x4 PMP 450v SM/BHS The 4x4 PMP 450v SM/BHS is the first SM in the Cambium PMP line with four chains. All previous SM/BHS had two orthogonal chains with a single peak in the azimuth antenna pattern, while the 4x4 SM/BHS has two peaks because the two carrier feeds are offset as part of the design.
Page 319
Each pair of chains transmits and receives a signal in one of the two carriers. Note The difference between carrier and component carrier: Carrier: center frequency of a Tx/Rx chain. Each Tx/Rx chain is used to transmit/receive all modulated component carriers that are wholly contained in the BW of the Tx/Rx chain.
Page 320
Enable two carriers at the AP when aligning the SM Assume the AP is operating on a single carrier. Out of the two pairs of chains in the SM, one pair receives the signal, while the other does not receive anything. When moving the SM to look for the peak of the beam, the beam associated with the one active carrier will be aligned with the AP.
Page 321
Start with the SM with a negative azimuth offset, and slowly move it to a positive azimuth offset. Monitor the Receive Power Carrier 1 value: it will start low, peak, and get low again. Note when the peak of Carrier 1 occurs. Now repeat and monitor the Receive Power Carrier 2 value: this will also start low, peak, and get low again, but the peak will be at a different location.

When preparing the drop cable for connection to the 450 Platform PSU (without a cable gland), use the following measurements: Creating a drop cable grounding point Use this procedure to connect the screen of the main drop cable to the metal of the supporting structure using the cable grounding kit (Cambium part number 01010419001).
Page 337
Fold the ground wire strap around the drop cable screen and fit cable ties. Tighten the cable ties with pliers. Cut the surplus from the cable ties. Cut a 38mm (1.5 inches) section of self-amalgamating tape and wrap it completely around the joint between the drop and ground cables.
Page 338
Wrap a layer of PVC tape from bottom to top, starting from 25 mm (1 inch) below and finishing 25 mm (1 inch) above the edge of the self-amalgamating tape, overlapping at half width. Repeat with a further four layers of PVC tape, always overlapping at half width. Wrap the layers in alternate directions (top to bottom, then bottom to top).
Page 339
Clamp the bottom lug of the grounding cable to the supporting structure using site approved methods. Use a two-hole lug secured with fasteners in both holes. This provides better protection than a single-hole lug. Attaching and weatherproofing an N type connector The following procedure should be used to weatherproof the N type connectors fitted to the connectorised ODU (AP/sM/BH) and antenna.
Page 340
Cut a 125mm (5 inches) length of rubber tape (self-amalgamating): Expand the width of the tape by stretching it so that it will wrap completely around the connector and cable: Press the tape edges together so that there are no gaps. The tape should extend 25 mm (1 inch) beyond the PVC tape: Wrap a layer of 50 mm (2 inch) PVC tape from bottom to top, starting from 25 mm (1 inch) below the edge of the self-amalgamating tape, overlapping at half width.
Page 341
Repeat with a further four layers of 19 mm (0.75 inch) PVC tape, always overlapping at half width. Wrap the layers in alternate directions: Second layer: top to bottom. Third layer: bottom to top. Fourth layer: top to bottom. Fifth layer: bottom to top. The bottom edge of each layer should be 25 mm (1 inch) below the previous layer.
