Spectral Efficiency: With a maximum spectral efficiency of 10 bps/Hz, the Cambium PTP 670 efficiently uses available bandwidth, making it capable of handling high data loads with reduced spectrum usage. This is Innovation by design.

Extended Range and High Capacity: The Cambium PTP 670 supports distances of up to 250 km and offers an impressive throughput of up to 450 Mbps, making it suitable for long-distance, high-capacity needs.

Dual Topology Capability: The Cambium PTP 670 can operate in both Point-to-Point (PTP) and High-Capacity Multipoint (HCMP) configurations, allowing it to adapt to different network designs and providing flexibility in infrastructure planning.

Advanced Security: The PTP 670 is built with FIPS-197 compliant 128/256-bit AES encryption, which ensures secure data transmission, protecting sensitive information across networks. The device also supports secure management protocols, including IPv6/IPv4 dual-stack management.

These features enable the Cambium Networks PTP 670 to deliver robust performance with minimal manual adjustments, simplifying deployment while ensuring high availability. View the datasheet here.

Cambium Networks PTP 670 Use Cases

The Cambium PTP 670 is designed to support a wide array of applications that demand high-capacity, reliable connectivity. Its advanced features make it ideal for a range of specialized and mission-critical use cases across various industries and sectors. Each of these use cases showcases the Cambium Networks PTP 670’s adaptability and powerful capabilities in delivering reliable, high-performance wireless backhaul in diverse scenarios:

Telecommunication and ISP Backhaul

Internet service providers (ISPs) and telecom companies are constantly expanding coverage to meet the rising demand for broadband. The PTP 670 is particularly valuable in supporting small cell backhaul for LTE and 5G deployments, connecting cell sites in locations where it’s not feasible to deploy fiber. By leveraging the Cambium PTP 670’s high throughput and spectral efficiency, providers can efficiently manage the increased data loads accompanying mobile broadband expansion.

Rural Broadband and Last-Mile Access

Extending broadband access to rural and underserved areas is a priority for many communities, yet it remains a logistical challenge. The Cambium PTP 670 offers a cost-effective solution for last-mile connectivity, bridging the gap between urban networks and remote locations. With its wide-band frequency support (4.9 to 6.05 GHz) and adaptive modulation, the PTP 670 can deliver stable broadband connections in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions. It’s ideal for Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) working to deliver reliable internet service to distant customers or branch locations without investing in expensive fiber installations.

Network Redundancy and Disaster Recovery

Many enterprises and government organizations rely on network redundancy to ensure uninterrupted operations during unexpected outages. The Cambium PTP 670 is an effective solution for building backup links that provide redundant pathways, allowing data to reroute during primary network failures. Its high availability, with up to 99.999% uptime, makes it a valuable component in disaster recovery plans for critical facilities like data centers, hospitals, and utility grids. The system’s ability to self-optimize and switch to the best channel using DSO helps maintain uninterrupted service even when the primary network is compromised

Industrial Operations and Remote Site Connectivity

Industries such as mining and utilities often require connectivity in remote, hard-to-reach locations where laying fiber is cost-prohibitive or impractical. The PTP 670 provides a viable alternative by delivering long-distance wireless backhaul that can reach up to 250 km. Its high spectral efficiency, reaching up to 10 bps/Hz, ensures that operators maximize data transfer within the available spectrum. Industrial sites benefit from secure, resilient communications, whether for daily operational data or remote monitoring and control, helping improve safety and productivity across sprawling or remote facilities.

Campus and Building-to-Building Connectivity

For large institutions like learning campuses, enterprises, and educational institutions with multiple buildings, the Cambium PTP 670 enables high-speed connectivity without the need for complex cabling. The system’s High-Capacity Multipoint (HCMP) mode allows a single PTP 670 radio to connect to up to eight remote locations, making it cost-effective for multi-building deployments. This feature benefits sprawling campuses requiring a unified network to support data transfer, communications, and even applications like VoIP and teleconferencing across buildings.

Video Surveillance Backhaul

In urban centers and sensitive infrastructure sites, video surveillance is key for security, monitoring, and public safety. The Cambium PTP 670 is highly effective in providing reliable, high-bandwidth backhaul for video surveillance networks, delivering low-latency connectivity to support real-time, high-definition video feeds. Its high-capacity throughput, with up to 450 Mbps aggregate data transfer, makes it suitable for high-traffic areas where multiple surveillance cameras need to transmit simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for transportation hubs, government facilities, and large campuses where consistent monitoring is essential.
