Case Study: Wireless Etc achieves doubled capacity, up to 5x peak throughput and 30–70% cost savings with Cambium Networks' cnMedusa-powered PMP 450 solutions

Wireless Etc. Powers Their Network With cnMedusa Technology

Wireless Etc., a Hot Springs, Arkansas ISP serving homes, businesses, electric co‑ops and hospitals since 2003, faced rising demand for video, voice and expanded Wi‑Fi coverage while needing to maintain reliability and performance. To meet these challenges they turned to Cambium Networks, deploying the PMP 450 family (PMP 450, PMP 450i and PMP 450m) with cnMedusa™ Massive MU‑MIMO and using LINKPlanner for network design.

Cambium Networks’ solution allowed Wireless Etc. to scale capacity, provide primary and failover service, and deliver in‑building enterprise Wi‑Fi and new business customers. The deployment produced measurable gains: 30–70% cost savings for business customers, average phone costs cut in half, average capacity doubled and peak capacity up to five times higher; Wireless Etc. is now expanding with more fiber and additional PMP 450m and PTP 820 links.
