Cambium Networks 60GHz cnWave V2000 client-node met Brits netsnoer

Unlike typical 60 GHz radios that rely on external antennas and complex alignment, the V2000 Client Node integrates a phased array antenna with IEEE 802.11ay technology, delivering fibre-like throughput up to 1 Gbps without the cost or complexity of laying cable. Its 20 dBi gain and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port make it ideal for high-capacity fixed wireless access, while the rugged IP66 housing ensures reliable operation in harsh outdoor environments.

Highlights

• 60 GHz unlicensed spectrum (57–66 GHz) with 2.16 GHz channel bandwidth
• Aggregate throughput up to 1 Gbps using 802.11ay with OFDM modulation
• Integrated phased array antenna with 20 dBi gain for precise beamforming
• 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (100/1000/2500 BaseT) with 802.3at PoE+ support
• Extended temperature range from -40°C to 60°C and IP66 weatherproof enclosure
• Advanced security: 128-bit AES encryption, secure boot, and TPM
• Managed via cnMaestro cloud, web GUI, or SNMPv3

In daily use

Deploy the V2000 as a client node in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links. Its phased array antenna auto-aligns to the distribution node, reducing installation time. The 2.5 GbE port connects to a PoE+ switch or injector, delivering both data and power over a single cable. With a maximum power draw of 25 W, it operates efficiently even in solar-powered sites. The quad-core ARM Cortex A53 processor and 1 GB RAM handle high traffic loads, while 4 GB flash stores configuration and logs. Network administrators can monitor performance, update firmware, and manage security policies remotely through cnMaestro or SNMPv3.
