• ARQ support

The PTP 550E is a point-to-point Gigabit throughput solution based on 802.11 ac Wave 2 operating in 5 GHz wireless space,
addressing the gigabit capacity needs for high-speed backhaul solutions in mid- and long-range applications. The PTP 550E solution
draws its attributes from Cambium Networks’ point to point products such as PTP 650/670 and PTP 450i.

Metal Housing
Each PTP 550E radio is enclosed in a rugged IP66/67-rated metal enclosure, which protects the radio from extreme conditions and
solar radiation.

Antenna Alignment
The e-alignment GUI provides the installer with an accurate and reliable way of installing PTP 550E.

Channel Bonding
Each channel can have independent channel bandwidth that provides for flexibility in channel selection, band selection, and address
throughput requirements. Using two 80 MHz channels, the PTP 550E achieves 1.4 Gbps.

Dynamic Channel Selection

With dynamic channel selection (DCS), PTP 550E systems constantly optimize the channel of operation to maximize link reliability and
performance. Responding to the radio interference environment, PTP 550E will search for the clearest spectrum and move to it
seamlessly. The customer benefits from best available throughput with limited spectrum in the most challenging environments.
