Product Overview

Cambium Networks cnReach N550 900 MHz Narrowband Fixed Wireless

The cnReach N550 900 MHz radio can be configured for either licensed MAS or unlicensed ISM operation and with extensive I/O eases the migration to a reliable all-IP network. Adaptive modulation and access point synchronization reduce self-interference and enable scalability in dense environments.

Product Highlights

re- and-forward applications.

For outdoor critical infrastructure operations, cnReach™ transports process monitoring and control data from remote sensors or RTU/PLCs back to the operations center, supporting real-time automated decision making and on- going analytics.

Sophisticated network planning with LINKPlanner, a no- charge planning tool enabling network designers to predict both capacity and availability of networks crossing all of Cambium’s technologies

Covering large geographic areas, hard-to-reach terrain, and challenging spectrum environments, cnReach delivers reliable, secure connectivity to the petrochemical, electric utility, water/wastewater/stormwater, and transportation industries. cnReach eases the migration to modern networks by combining legacy serial and analog/digital I/O with TCP/IP and Ethernet connectivity.

Supported by cnMaestro Network Management

software for monitoring the status of entire networks carrying traffic across sensors

Fully integrated into the single-pane-of-glass cnMaestro™ Network Management platform, cnReach helps bridge the IT/OT sides of complex organizations.

Combining cnReach’s licensed and unlicensed narrow- band radios with Cambium Networks’ broadband technologies, industrial organizations are delivering end-to- end industrial internet of things (IIoT) solutions today.

Ideal Applications

900 MHz narrowband IoT/SCADA radio for utility AMI, substation telemetry, oil & gas monitoring, and industrial sensor networks over long distances.
