Cambium Networks plans to establish a multi-gigabit fixed wireless network in Australia, according to a company press release.
Perth, Australia-based Pentanet is building neXus, a multi-gigabit fixed wireless network across the Perth metro area to provide internet access for business and residential subscribers, the release said.
"Bandwidth-heavy and latency sensitive applications like cloud-gaming are already transforming connectivity demands and reliable gigabit speeds are the future for Perth,” Stephen Cornish, CEO of Pentanet, said in the release.
Pentanet is extending its existing infrastructure with Cambium Networks' 60 GHz cnWave fixed wireless platform, using Terragraph, a mesh technology developed by Facebook Connectivity, the release said.
The plans include the V5000 Distribution Node, the V3000 Client Node and the V1000 Client Node, all offering various device connecting abilities, speeds and configurations, among other features.
“With Cambium Networks' 60 GHz cnWave technology, Pentanet's neXus is driving a leap in internet connectivity throughout the city to gigabit speeds,” Cornish said. “Using our existing fixed wireless network infrastructure, Pentanet can rapidly deploy the next-generation of wireless technology to create the neXus."
The expansion will likely aid Perth, as the area was recently reported to have the second slowest internet speeds in all of Australia, the release said. Cambium determined a reasonable solution for the problem to be dependable and secure connectivity for users across all schools and enterprises in the region, at an affordable price.
