Ryan Peterson, Global Defense and Security Sales Director, Cambium Networks.
The US Government has granted JF-12 (Joint Frequency Allocation to Equipment Process) spectrum certification to the PTP 78700, an MLoS radio operating in the 7 and 8 GHz band. This accreditation provides defense and security clients extra licensed spectrum to implement MLoS systems as an alternative to the already congested NATO Band 4 and unlicensed 5 GHz channels.
In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) revalidated the PTP 700’s FIPS 140-2 accreditation under certificate #4243. The PTP 700 runs in NATO Band 4, 4.4 – 4.9 GHz, and bridges between 4.9 GHz and 5.875 GHz for a high degree of frequency adaptability. Recent updates to the PTP 700’s embedded dynamic spectrum optimization (DSO) have enhanced its capacity to counter electronic countermeasures such as enemy jamming and interception capabilities.
Cambium Networks’ federal and defense solutions are proven wireless communications for military battlefield, border, garrison and infrastructure applications with the following accreditations:
- NIST FIPS 140-2 validation
- NTIA SPS (Spectrum Planning Subcommittee) certification
- JF-12 (Joint Frequency Allocation-to-Equipment Process) spectrum certification
- MIL-STD-810
- Multiple layers of FIPS-validated security including physical, certificate, and over-the-air-rekey security
- TAA compliant hardware and ancillary items
