Client Cambium Networks cnWave V2000 60 GHz 1 Gbps wireless client node

The Cambium Networks cnWave V2000 60 GHz 1 Gbps wireless client node is a compact subscriber device engineered for high-capacity, short-range fixed wireless connections. It operates in the 60 GHz band and provides up to 1 Gbps throughput for last‑mile access, dense urban deployments, and enterprise connectivity. The client node is designed to interoperate with cnWave infrastructure and supports both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint topologies, offering a low-latency millimeter-wave option for environments where fiber is impractical or costly.

Advantages

The cnWave V2000 client delivers gigabit-class throughput over the 60 GHz spectrum with a small form factor suitable for rooftop, pole, or building-mounted installations. Its design focuses on high-capacity short-range links, delivering predictable performance in dense deployments while reducing spectrum congestion in lower bands. The unit’s compatibility with cnWave systems simplifies provisioning and management within a common network architecture.

Suitable for

• Last-mile subscriber connections in urban and suburban areas
• High-capacity links for enterprises, campuses, and multi-dwelling units
• Point-to-point short-range backhaul where fiber is unavailable
• Dense deployments that require spectrum reuse and low interference

When it may not be suitable

Because the device operates in the 60 GHz band, its effective range is limited compared with lower-frequency wireless solutions and it is more sensitive to line-of-sight obstructions and atmospheric attenuation. It is therefore not optimal for long-distance links, heavily vegetated routes, or environments where reliable non‑line‑of‑sight performance is required.

Key specifications

• Operating frequency band: 60 GHz millimeter-wave
• Maximum throughput: up to 1 Gbps
• Intended use: subscriber/client node for fixed wireless access
• Deployment types: point-to-point and point-to-multipoint
• Mounting: rooftop, pole, or building facade installations
• Power: external AC power with region-specific cord (example: supplied with UK cord in some offers)

How to use

Mount the cnWave V2000 client in a location with a clear line of sight to the corresponding cnWave access point or hub. Connect power using the supplied AC cord appropriate to the region and link the client to the network using the device’s Ethernet interface for subscriber services or management. Align and fine-tune the antenna orientation to maximize signal strength and throughput; perform link tests and follow the cnWave controller or management system procedures to register the client and apply relevant service and security profiles.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm clear line-of-sight between client and access point for reliable 60 GHz operation
• Assess expected link distance and environmental factors (weather, obstructions)
• Verify power requirements and regional power cord compatibility
• Ensure compatibility with existing cnWave infrastructure and management systems

Usage recommendations

For best results, install the client at a fixed, elevated mounting point with minimal obstructions, perform a site survey to confirm link viability, and use the cnWave management tools to monitor throughput and signal quality. Regularly check alignment after severe weather or structural changes to maintain optimal 1 Gbps performance.
