Cambridge Broadband Networks (CBNL), has announced the launch of its 39 GHz VectaStar variant – broadening the platform into the millimeter wave. As spectrum becomes an increasingly scarce resource, CBNL’s new solution unlocks the huge potential of millimeter waves to offer a more efficient route to transform last mile throughput to multiple Gigabits per second (Gbps). The 39 GHz VectaStar variant is an ideal solution to support high capacity applications such as backhaul, smart city connectivity and fixed wireless for the home and the enterprise.
Initial deployments of this millimeter wave solution will take place in the US where 39 GHz is available nationwide, including deep coverage in every major city. Offering up to 13.2 Gbps per hub site in the US, VectaStar enables rapid deployment of guaranteed bandwidth that can easily scale as demand grows.
With VectaStar’s PMP architecture able to be deployed faster and with up to 50 percent cost savings over licensed point-to-point (PTP), the launch ensures more carriers can profit from the platform’s leading business case.
The announcement coincides with the launch of CBNL’s new demo network in New York’s Time Square. Customers will be able to visit the site by appointment and see a VectaStar network in operation across a large metropolitan area. This will provide a practical demonstration of the technology and a model for deployment.
According to Mark Ashford, Vice President North America, CBNL - With traditional frequencies becoming an increasingly limited resource, it’s vital that the industry maximizes the opportunity of millimeter wave to develop more spectrally efficient strategies to scale last mile connectivity. The new solution is a significant milestone and expands CBNL’s presence into millimeter wave, providing the fastest and most cost effective path to Gbps hub capacities.
The VectaStar 39 GHz solution is available for order now.
