Case Study: Omni Wireless achieves superior rural throughput, range, and reliability with Cambium Networks ePMP 4500

Canadian WISP Achieves Superior Performance with ePMP 4500 Series

Omni Wireless, a Canadian WISP operating eight towers and serving 400+ subscriber modules across rural and semi‑urban areas, was running up against capacity, range and reliability limits on legacy ePMP 3000 gear (Force 300‑25). To meet growing demand for streaming and higher‑bandwidth services, Omni Wireless engaged Cambium Networks and deployed the ePMP 4500 platform with Force 4525 subscriber modules and cnMaestro management.

Cambium Networks upgraded Omni Wireless to ePMP 4500 APs and Force 4525 SMs, yielding measurable gains: peak throughput rose from ~190 Mbps UDP / 186 Mbps TCP on ePMP 3000 to ~358 Mbps UDP / 354 Mbps TCP on the ePMP 4500, average SM throughput increased ~188%, AP capacity improved (~83% in tests), and MCS rates improved even at 23 km (up to DL MCS 10/9). The deployment delivered more consistent TCP/UDP performance, higher range and reliability, simplified management via cnMaestro, and improved customer satisfaction and scalability.
