Business Weekly - Cambridge, UK

The new frequency line builds on the company's existing 3.5 and 10.5 GHz range, broadening Cambridge Broadband's customer base and geographical market.

"There is a lot of spectrum in the 26GHz band and it is probably the most commonly allocated point-to-multipoint band around the world. Adding 26GHz to our portfolio means that carrier-class cell backhaul has become even more cost effective and scalable," said CEO, Bjorn Krylander.

One Cambridge Broadband VectaStar base station will now provide simultaneous support for the 3.5GHz, 10.5GHz and 26GHz bands, enabling operators to choose the most appropriate frequency band to backhaul traffic.

VP of Product Management, Ben Freeman said: "This is the first of two high frequency product variants. The next release will be the 28GHz VectaStar product: this is virtually identical to the 26GHz product but opens up availability to those operators around the world that have licences in the 28GHz band rather than the 26GHz band."
