Case Study: Buckeye Mountain achieves rapid, cost-effective high-speed wireless coverage for ports and rail yards with Cambium Networks

Buckeye Mountain Leverages Cambium Technology into Rapid Deploy Solutions for Ports and Rail Yards

Buckeye Mountain, a U.S. communications system integrator, needed to provide reliable, high‑speed wireless coverage across ports and rail yards to connect vehicle‑mounted terminals, video surveillance and tablets without the cost and delay of trenching fiber/power or building tall towers. Facing poor cellular performance when containers were stacked and unreliable legacy Wi‑Fi or narrowband systems, Buckeye Mountain incorporated Cambium Networks technology into its Rapid Deploy product family to meet these operational challenges.

Using Cambium Networks point‑to‑point, point‑to‑multipoint, Wi‑Fi, narrowband, CBRS radios and 60 GHz cnWave fixed wireless, Buckeye Mountain deployed solar‑powered Rapid Deploy solutions that eliminate trenching and tower construction, can be installed in days, and are easily relocated. The Cambium Networks‑based systems delivered measurable impact—up to 960 Mbps throughput at a V1000 node, expanded coverage across multiple ports, deployment across nine intermodal facilities, reduced infrastructure costs, faster rollouts and centralized remote management—enabling rapid scale-up to additional sites.
