Cambium Networks ePMP Force 4518 Subscriber Module

Service providers face ever-increasing demand for capacity in a limited amount of spectrum. The ePMP Force 4518 Subscriber Modules (SM) meet this demand by offering high performance and low latency across both point-to-multipoint (PMP) and point-to-point (PTP) deployments.

Differentiating Features:

• Small form factor popular for dense areas and where aesthetics are critical, with an integrated 18 dBi panel antenna.
• High performance with up to 80 MHz channels, 1024QAM and low-latency performance when using ePTP technology.
• Interoperability with the ePMP 4500, which uses MU-MIMO to achieve up to multiple Gbps per sector by transmitting to 3 ePMP 4500 SMs simultaneously.
• Multiple levels of QoS (Quality of Service) for voice, video, and data applications, supporting a wide variety of service packages for both residential and enterprise users.

1. Small Form Factor: Powerful Yet Discreet

The ePMP Force 4518 sports a sleek, flat-panel design that eliminates the need for an additional dish, making it an aesthetically pleasing choice for residential and business deployments.

• No additional dish required – Unlike larger SMs that require bulky reflectors, the 4518 integrates an 18 dBi flat-panel antenna, keeping the design compact and minimizing installation footprint.
• Urban and suburban-friendly design – Whether mounted on rooftops or walls, this SM blends seamlessly into its surroundings, making it an ideal solution for areas where aesthetics matter.
• Lightweight and durable – Weighing only 1.2 kg (2.65 lbs), the ePMP Force 4518 is easy to handle, transport, and install, without compromising durability.

Ease of Installation: Simplified Deployment with Sector Panel Alignment

Installation time and complexity can make or break an SM’s adoption in the field. The ePMP Force 4518 makes deployment significantly easier with its sector-panel design.

• Easy to align – Unlike traditional dish-based SMs, which require precise alignment to establish a strong link with the Access Point (AP), the wide-angle panel antenna of the Force 4518 provides greater flexibility in aiming for faster installations.
• Integrated pole mount hardware – The unit includes an easy-to-mount system, enabling quick and secure installations.
• Plug-and-play setup with cnMaestro™ – As part of Cambium’s ONE Network, the ePMP Force 4518 seamlessly integrates with cnMaestro™, providing zero-touch provisioning, remote monitoring, and streamlined network management.

Combines Next-Generation 802.11ax Technology With the Proven ePMP Platform

Wireless performance is at the heart of any SM, and the ePMP Force 4518 is engineered to deliver top-tier speeds and reliability with the proven ePMP platform that has more than 4 million radios deployed. The ePMP 4000 Series leverages all the scalability, performance and cost-effectiveness and now leverages the latest 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) technology as its underlying chipset.

• High-speed connectivity – Supports 1024-QAM and 80 MHz channel widths, enabling gigabit-class speeds with ultra-low latency.
• Optimized for ePMP 4500 Series APs – The Force 4518 fully integrates with MU-MIMO technology, allowing the AP to communicate with multiple SMs simultaneously, increasing network efficiency.
• QoS prioritization for voice, video, and data – With advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, service providers can deliver high-performance broadband while ensuring superior user experience for VoIP, streaming, and business-critical applications.
• Secure and reliable – Features 128-bit AES encryption and enterprise-grade security protocols, ensuring safe and interference-resistant connectivity.
