Cambium networks has announced the release of cnPilot E500, a high-capacity outdoor Wi-Fi access point which provides network connectivity in high-density areas under demanding conditions. The product is IP67 grade, with a 802.11ac dual-band AP supporting 16 SSIDs and up to 256 users. This makes it suitable for enterprises, services providers and industrial users looking for an affordable, yet reliable high-performance WLAN solution, according to the company.
The product has a high transmit power of 29dBm, the ability to daisy-chain power via a PoE out port to power a security camera or a wireless backhaul link node, and an LTE co-existence filter to filter out nearby small cell LTE interference. These features allow the access point to support a large number of users in difficult outdoor conditions.
