Cambium Networks introduces a LITE model of the PMP 450i Access Point (AP). It will function exactly as the existing PMP 450i AP but be restricted to having 20 subscribers connected. A key can be purchased to remove this restriction.
Q: Why is Cambium Networks introducing this part?
A: Cambium realizes that there are sectors that require relatively few subscriber connections and that the return on investment in a full AP is not feasible. The LITE models may allow the network to expand with reasonable return on investment.
Q: What is the difference between LITE models and the regular (or full) Access Point?
A: The only difference is the restriction of connected Subscriber Modules (SMs). The LITE version will support only 20.
Q: Is this different than the “limited” version of the 450m AP?
A: Yes, LITE is defined as a restricted number of SMs, while LIMITED is defined as the restriction to perform Multi-User MIMO (i.e., simultaneous communication to more than one SM).
