Looking for a Cambium Point-to-Point Alternative?
Meet RADWIN Alpha PRO and 2000E
Last updated: October 21, 2026
RADWIN has two point-to-point families that cover the links most operators run on Cambium today. Alpha PRO is for flexible, low-power links up to 120 km. RADWIN 2000 E is for high-capacity backhaul, up to 2.5 Gbps. Both include built-in GPS and AES-256 encryption as a standard.
Why operators are looking now
Cambium Networks' main trading company entered administration in September 2026. PTP 550 and PTP 820 were not named in either Airspan's or Univastu's announcement [confirm before publishing]. Backhaul links carry an operator's whole network, so any question about supply or support matters most here. Many operators are planning a second source for new and critical links now. See: Cambium partner FAQ.

Grows with Your Network
The same unit works as a point-to-point link today and as a subscriber unit tomorrow. Change a setting, not the HW.
Goes the Distance
Links up to 120 km with an external antenna, for rural backhaul and hard-to-reach sites.
Runs on Less Power

Yes. A point-to-point link uses a matched pair of radios, so you replace the link as a whole, one link at a time.
Yes. Each link is independent, so both can run side by side while you move.
