The new ePMP Force 4518 Subscriber Module is Cambium’s latest product for networks that need more speed on 5 GHz links. The new module pairs an 18 dBi flat‑panel antenna with 80 MHz channel support and 1024 QAM modulation—delivering Gig‑class throughput without the bulk of a dish. Now available to order from Streakwave.
The ePMP Force 4518 is built for crowded 5 GHz sectors where every dB, watt, and square inch counts. It packs high‑end radio tech into a slim, dish‑free panel so you can push more traffic without rebuilding the tower.
- Gig‑class throughput – 80 MHz channels and 1024 QAM turn the same slice of spectrum into serious capacity.
- 18 dBi integrated flat‑panel – low wind‑load, quick alignment, and rated to survive 200 km/h gusts.
- ePTP low‑latency mode – keeps voice, video, and interactive apps smooth even at range.
- MU‑MIMO ready – pairs natively with ePMP 4500 APs, so one sector can serve many more subscribers per time‑slot.
- SmartQoS & AES security – three‑level QoS prioritisation and 128/256‑bit AES encryption baked in.
- Lean power budget – 13 W typical draw via the included PoE injector.
Why Operators Should Upgrade
Running a busy tower means juggling bandwidth demands, upgrade costs, and limited truck‑roll time. The Force 4518 gives you relief on all three. Here’s how it helps:
- More capacity per sector – sell higher‑speed packages without grabbing extra spectrum.
- Faster installs, fewer returns – the compact panel fits rooftops a dish can’t and shrugs off high winds.
- Latency customers feel—gone – ePTP keeps RTT tight, so VoIP and gaming stay happy.
- Future‑proof for 4500‑series MU‑MIMO – upgrade the AP later and unlock multi‑Gbps sectors.
- Built‑in traffic shaping & security – SmartQoS plus AES tick both performance and compliance boxes.
- Three‑year hardware warranty – Cambium covers the gear so you can focus on subscriber growth.
