Cambium ePMP 3000 5GHz Connectorized MU-MIMO 4×4 Access Point (ePMP 3000 AP)

The Cambium Networks ePMP™ 3000 is a high-performance 5GHz connectorized access point designed to deliver maximum throughput, scalability, and reliability in harsh interference environments. As the third-generation AP in the ePMP product line, it builds on the proven ePMP 2000 platform while incorporating Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology. The 4×4 MU-MIMO architecture allows the ePMP 3000 to serve multiple subscribers simultaneously, effectively doubling sector throughput without increasing channel bandwidth. Ideal for high-density deployments, this AP ensures robust performance, efficient spectrum usage, and superior interference tolerance.

Product Features

Multi-User MIMO Technology

Utilizes 4×4 MU-MIMO to serve two subscribers at the same time, doubling sector-level throughput and improving overall network efficiency.

Frequency Reuse Capabilities

Supports GPS synchronization and SM transmit power control to enable efficient frequency reuse, reducing interference and maximizing spectrum utilization.

High Performance and Scalability

Advanced Cambium MAC protocol and air-fairness scheduler allow up to 120 simultaneously active subscriber modules without performance degradation.

Industry-Leading Interference Tolerance

Intelligent receive-side filtering makes the ePMP 3000 immune to strong off-channel interference, while transmit-side filtering reduces noise for better radio co-location.

Spectral Efficiency

MU-MIMO downlink capability enhances sector capacity and network efficiency, delivering higher data rates to multiple subscribers simultaneously.

Quality of Service (QoS)

Supports three levels of priority (Voice, High, Low) with packet classification based on DSCP, COS, VLAN ID, IP/MAC address, and multicast/broadcast traffic.

Dynamic Spectrum Management

Includes DSO (Dynamic Spectrum Optimization) to detect interference and automatically switch channels, along with Fast DFS to move to radar-free channels with background checks.
