Looking for an ePMP or PMP 450 Alternative? Here's What Moving to RADWIN Looks Like.
Last updated: October 21, 2026
RADWIN's JET family is built for the same point-to-multipoint access networks many operators run on Cambium ePMP and PMP 450. It reaches further from each tower, guarantees service per subscriber, has GPS built in, and ships from our local hubs. You can move one tower at a time. And unlike ePMP, RADWIN comes with a clear roadmap: QORA, our next-generation platform, available Q1 2027.
Why operators are looking now
Cambium Networks' main trading company entered administration in September 2026. For operators with large ePMP or PMP 450 networks, that raises practical questions about supply, support, and future growth. Many are adding a second vendor for new towers while their existing network keeps running. See: Cambium partner FAQ.
Cambium's cnMaestro management platform is also being split in two, so ePMP will be managed through its own separate version with its own roadmap. If you run ePMP alongside PMP 450 or PTP, your network will soon be managed from two different platforms owned by two different companies. With RADWIN, one management platform, RADWIN Command, covers your whole network.

|
PMP 450m (high-capacity, licensed sectors) |
JET DUO |
GPS built in, with no external sync box, native 4.9 GHz public-safety support without an extra license, and guaranteed speed per subscriber |
|
Business, municipal, or public-safety customers on ePMP or PMP |
JET PRO or JET DUO |
Guaranteed speed per subscriber (CIR), not just best effort |
Three reasons operators choose JET
Reach more customers from every tower.
Up to 40 km of range means rural and semi-rural homes you couldn't serve before, with less tower infrastructure to build and maintain.
Steady performance when the spectrum gets crowded.
JET focuses a narrow beam on each subscriber and filters out interference. When a new tower goes up nearby, your customers notice less.
Service guarantees that you can sell.
Guaranteed speed per subscriber lets you offer business-grade plans and bid for enterprise, municipal, and utility contracts
