You can simply and easily design networks for optimal deployment and cost effectiveness with Cambium Network’s LINKPlanner.
You are able to model “what if” scenarios for fixed wireless tech – based on distance, geography, equipment, transmission power, and other factors – optimising performance of the system before purchase.
As well as PMP and ePMP technologies, the latest version works with cnWave 28 GHz, cnWave 60 GHz, and cnReach.
A key issue with vaping in schools is the appeal of various flavours and colours, and the assumption that that vaping is safe, or at least safer than cigarettes.
Just like regular cigarettes when they first become commonplace, there are many unknowns about the long term health risks, even though some short term health-risks are being identified. Problems can include issues with blood pressure, the cardiovascular system, lung functioning and heart rate.
Unlike smoking rates which have been in decline in recent years, vaping rates are climbing- with the number of teenagers using e-cigarettes doubling in just one year, according to the NSW Secondary Principals’ Council.
Recent data from the NSW Population Health Survey found that 11.1% of 16 to 24-year-olds are regular ‘vape’ users, against 4.5% the year prior, making it the biggest vaping increase across all age groups. Out of the 16-24 age group, young males vape the most with 12.3% against 9.8% for young women.
While any solution needs to be multi-tiered, many schools have been turning to FlySense – a network connected vape sensor designed to detect the vaping and provide realtime alerts.
Combined with education, the vape detection provides a strong solution to an increasing problem.
Here are some resources that we have put together around vaping in schools.

cnMaestro Essentials, the license-free version, provides some excellent functionality while reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for institutions of all sizes.
While the full paid version is definitely going to be the best option, especially for larger networks, the free version provides a god feature set to get started; offering monitoring, configuration, operation and management.
With cnMaestro X, you can choose between On-Prem and Cloud based, with the Cloud version offering the largest feature-set.
Some of the key features offered by the full-cloud-version, cnMaestro X, include:

Cambium Networks’ XE3-4 Access Point provides tri-band – Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E radios, a great option for forward-thinking institutions wanting to prepare for the future and support higher network speeds.
For me, the standout feature that makes the XE3-4 really shine, is the full backwards compatibility with existing wi-fi technology; supporting higher speed clients, legacy tech, IoT, and more – all across one infrastructure.
As of May 2022, we currently have Cambium gear in stock, ready to roll out across Australia.
