Cambium Networks Hits 220,000 Milestone for ePMP 4000 Radios

The upgrade, which became generally available on July 31, 2026, functions as a free performance boost for hardware already in the field. By purchasing a $99 software license, operators can repurpose subscriber modules to support up to eight additional connections. This flexibility offers a strategic hedge for providers, allowing them to redeploy hardware if specific market demand fails to materialize as expected.

Performance metrics for the ePMP 4500 and 4600 lines see tangible gains under the new firmware, specifically regarding throughput in congested network environments. This update also streamlines the use of 6 GHz automatic frequency coordination, a capability that has become vital for providers grappling with signal interference. For firms like California-based Snap Internet, the transition to the 6 GHz band provided a necessary lifeline, enabling the provider to boost service plans to 500 Mbps. With 50,000 of these 6 GHz units now deployed across North America, the company is positioning these tools as a viable, cost-effective alternative to fiber and satellite broadband.
