Cambium Networks 60GHz cnWave V3000 Client Antenna 40.5 dBi

The Cambium Networks 60GHz cnWave V3000 client antenna provides a high-gain 40.5 dBi solution for Wi‑Fi backhaul over the 57–66 GHz band. Designed for ceiling mounting and rated IP66/IP67, this white antenna supports both point-to-multipoint (P2MP) and point-to-point (PTP) configurations and enables client nodes to reach up to 7.6 Gbps with channel bonding and 16-QAM modulation.

Advantages

The 40.5 dBi high-gain antenna with beamforming improves link budget and spatial focusing for reliable short-range mmWave backhaul. Its IP66/IP67 protection and compact ceiling-mount design (343 × 198 × 251 mm) allow deployment in outdoor-exposed or sheltered locations while offering straightforward installation. Pack configuration of four units supports multi-node rollouts and scalable network deployments.

Suitable for

• Wi‑Fi backhaul in dense urban or campus environments
• Point-to-multipoint (P2MP) access and aggregation
• Short-range point-to-point (PTP) links requiring high throughput
• Deployments needing weather-resistant indoor/outdoor ceiling mounts

How to use

Mount the client antenna on a suitable ceiling or sheltered structure following Cambium Networks installation guidelines. Align the antenna toward the corresponding hub or PTP/PTMP node to optimise beamforming and link quality. Configure the cnWave system for channel bonding and 16-QAM modulation through the network management interface to achieve maximum throughput. Ensure cable and connector types are compatible and weatherproofed where exposed.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the V3000 client antenna in short-range line-of-sight links within the 57–66 GHz band, maintain clear Fresnel zones, and follow the manufacturer's mounting and grounding instructions. Consider site surveys to confirm alignment and expected throughput before large-scale deployment.
