ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., July 29, 2014 — Cambium Networks™, a global leading provider of wireless broadband solutions, today announced the release of the ePMP Force 100, a high-gain integrated subscriber solution. The ePMP Force 100 contains Cambium Networks’ latest ePMP software release 2.1 that includes enhancements to Cambium Networks’ eFortify™ and eCommand™ solutions.

This update expands the operating range of 5 GHz ePMP radios to include 5150 MHz and adds enhancements to eCommand^TM, which provides a suite of management tools to plan, provision and monitor the network, and to eFortify^TM, which allows the platform to recognize and react to external interference.
