LAS VEGAS, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambium Networks™, a global leading provider of wireless broadband solutions, today announced the release of software releases 2.3 and 2.4, which include support for Wi-Fi mode of operation to enable accelerated network migrations, Multicast support, lower latency and 5 and 10 MHz channel bandwidth options.

Wi-Fi mode allows ePMP subscriber modules to be installed in any existing point-to-multipoint network, and communicate with any access point in Wi-Fi mode. This capability can be used to upgrade any network without interrupting network services, thereby accelerating network migrations.
"With the release of Wi-Fi mode, you can now upgrade your network without a complete forklift. The new software available for ePMP 1000 opens up new opportunities for customers to offer addition services such as video surveillance, Wi-Fi hotspots and connection to sensors," said Sakid Ahmed, senior director of engineering, Cambium Networks. "We will continue to evolve the ePMP platform to ensure we can support our customers' media- rich applications and offer them best-in-class solutions."
