Case Study: Wibernet achieves multi‑gigabit, fiber‑like speeds and wins customers with Cambium Networks' cnWave 5G Fixed

Wibernet Unleashes Revolutionary MultiGigabit 5G Fixed Wireless Technology in Cape Town

Wibernet, a Cape Town-based Wireless Internet Service Provider serving thousands of business and residential subscribers, needed to deliver fiber‑like speeds and reliable quality of service to compete with larger incumbents and meet pandemic-driven demand for higher home bandwidth. To achieve full control over performance and accelerate innovation, Wibernet selected Cambium Networks solutions including cnWave 5G Fixed (BTS and CPE), PMP 450m, ePMP and cnMaestro cloud management.

Cambium Networks deployed cnWave 5G Fixed base stations with cnMedusa MU‑MIMO and SDR architecture plus cnWave CPE, enabling sector throughputs over 3 Gbps and CPE aggregate speeds above 400 Mbps. The rollout lets Wibernet offer 200 Mbps business plans and 50 Mbps residential services, support 100+ subscribers per sector across ~5 km ranges, win customers from established ISPs, and improve customer satisfaction and operational control.
