Cambium Networks cnPilot E500 Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Point

Cambium Networks has released the cnPilot E500, a high-capacity, controller-managed outdoor Wi-Fi access point (AP) that provides connectivity under demanding conditions. The 802.11ac dual-band AP supports 16 SSIDs and up to 256 active users and is suitable for enterprises and service providers looking for a high-performance WLAN solution.

The device features a high transmit power of 29 dBm, 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. This means it can support a large number of users in difficult outdoor conditions.

Managed through cnMaestro, the Cambium Networks cloud-based or on-premises-based Wi-Fi controller, the product also includes a mesh backhauling capability for outdoor deployments. It comes with an IP67 rating for wind, sand and rain resistance. The device is now available through the company’s distributor networks.
