Managing the Technology Stack in a
Single Framework Enhances the Security and Automation of Service
Providers' Networks while removing complexity
ROLLING
MEADOWS, Ill., May 16, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Cambium Networks (NASDAQ: CMBM), a leading
global provider of networking solutions, today announced a major
upgrade of its cnMaestro management system that enables
enterprises and service providers to integrate new end-to-end
security and automation capabilities across their Cambium-powered
networks, while avoiding the complexity that typically accompanies
third-party integrations. A complete networking stack can be
created for distributed organizations, all managed together in a
single cnMaestro framework.
"Network operators have a multitude of tools and technologies to
deliver network services, but they are ultimately judged by the end
user experience," said Tam Dell'Oro,
founder and CEO of Dell'Oro Group, a research and consulting firm
that specializes in business planning and strategic competitive
analysis. "It is critical that vendors deliver holistic solutions
that can meet performance and security expectations."
Small and medium-sized enterprises increasingly demand
sophisticated network security and threat protection that has
typically only been available to large organizations. cnMaestro 4.0
expands the scope of Cambium Networks' Network Service Edge (NSE)
solution to enable enterprises to deliver advanced security and
threat protection with a fraction of the IT staff. Specific
features in cnMaestro 4.0 include:
- Site-to-site VPNs for building secure multi-site networks. View

- VPN multi-factor authentication (MFA) using Google
Authenticator for enhanced user security. View the video
- DNS-based content filtering, including CIPA compliant
protection for K-12 Education
- PPPoE for user authentication and IP address management. View
the video
- SD-WAN flow preferences to optimize traffic flow across WAN
interfaces for failover and balancing. View the video
"Layer3/Layer7 flow preference is key for our customers," said
Tavin Jordaan of Information Systems
Engineering (Pty) Ltd, a value added distributor. "It provides a
mechanism where we can decide what kind of traffic should be going
through each WAN link. This helps in binding business-critical
applications on reliable and higher throughput WAN links."
For organizations using Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AD) as
an identity solution – for example for Microsoft 365 applications –
cnMaestro X 4.0 adds support for single sign on (SSO)
authentication with Azure AD for users accessing Cambium Networks
Wi-Fi solutions. IT administrators can now integrate directory
services with network access to simplify the end user
experience.
In addition, cnMaestro X 4.0 expands its automation facilities
with Assists, a solution that helps identify potential
vulnerabilities in the network infrastructure across a Cambium ONE
Network of devices. Assists helps administrators identify and
immediately fix problems to optimize the network fabric and
increase overall reliability.
cnMaestro 4.0 also supports the provisioning and management of
Cambium Networks' cnWave 5G Fixed millimeter wave fixed wireless
solutions. You can view how service provider Wibernet uses Gigabit
speeds with this system to connect business and residential
subscribers in South Africa

"Based on extensive experience and field testing with network
operators of all types and sizes, we continue to optimize cnMaestro
to make it easier to deliver advanced security and high-quality
end-user experiences that differentiate the Cambium Networks
offering," says Bruce Miller, Vice
President Enterprise Marketing, Cambium Networks. "ONE Network is
brought together by cnMaestro's single-pane-of-glass management for
a converged IT experience that greatly simplifies operations
compared to managing disparate parts."
