Cambium Networks Introduces High Density Wi-Fi 7 Solution for the Enterprise

Published

on

By

New tri-band, software-definable Wi-Fi 7 solution delivers precision directive coverage with AI optimization for exhibition halls, auditoriums, warehouses, and other high-density environments.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cambium Networks, a leading global provider of networking solutions, today announced a new Wi-Fi 7 high-density access point – the X7-56X – engineered to deliver high-performance wireless connectivity in the most demanding environments. Designed to meet the needs of large public venues, exhibition halls, busy public spaces, and educational campuses, the solution combines focused RF coverage, AI-driven optimization, and cloud-managed simplicity in a high-capacity platform.

The X7-56X extends Cambium Networks’ Wi-Fi 7 portfolio with a software-definable tri-band architecture featuring 60° x 60° directive antennas designed for precision coverage and reduced co-channel interference in congested RF environments. The platform supports up to 1,280 clients per access point and up to 17.9 Gbps aggregate wireless capacity across the three Wi-Fi spectrum bands.

“The X7-56X performed very well in our ticket scanning points that have high ceilings and see significant foot traffic volume,” said Jonathan West from the National Ice Centre in Nottingham, UK. “What makes this AP practical for a venue like ours is the integrated 60×60 degree antennas that eliminate separate antennas and cabling and can add significant cost, complexity, and footprint to every mount. Engineering all of that into one unit expedites installation and improves aesthetics as well. This form factor will extend to applications in our seating bowl as well.” 

“What excites me about the X7-56X is how well its directional approach works for some of our toughest spaces, such as auditoriums at capacity or the basketball arena on game night,” said Jeremy Petticrew, Network Engineer at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. “Precisely controlling Wi-Fi coverage has always been the hard part, and having an AP designed specifically for that, inside a platform we already trust, is a real advantage as device counts keep climbing.”

The X7-56X integrates with Cambium’s ONE Network architecture comprised of Wi-Fi, switching, security, SD-WAN, wireless backhaul, and fiber – all managed through the cloud via cnMaestro™ X. This unified approach provides centralized visibility and control across the entire network infrastructure from a single source of truth.

The new solution provides a compelling Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) proposition by reducing the amount of equipment required in typical installations. These advantages are enabled by:

Directive antennas that focus Wi-Fi coverage only where needed – a spotlight approach vs. the floodlight type of inefficiencies of omni-directional antennas

Integrated Wi-Fi controller in every AP, eliminating the need for separate appliance or VM-based controller solutions

Software-defined radios that enable flexible deployment of the 5GHz and 6GHz Wi-Fi bands matched to environment needs, reducing the number of APs required

Key capabilities of the X7-56X include:

Tri-radio, tri-band Wi-Fi 7 architecture

4×4 MU-MIMO support with ten total spatial streams

60° x 60° directive antenna for precision coverage

Air Cleaner technology for high-density RF optimization

AI-based Assurance for improved operational efficiency and problem resolution

Software-definable radios supporting flexible 5 GHz and 6 GHz migration

Built-in IoT radio supporting BLE 5.1, Zigbee, Matter, and Thread

Simplified installation with the MarketApps Installer mobile-based app and flexible mounting options

Cloud-based management through cnMaestro™

“High-performance Wi-Fi requires more than just raw throughput,” said Bruce Miller, VP Enterprise Product Management at Cambium Networks. “Intelligent RF management, flexible deployment options, and simplified operations are key to support growing device counts, IoT proliferation, and AI-powered applications. The X7-56X was purpose-built for these challenges while at the same time delivering compelling economics for enterprise IT and managed service providers.”

“The X7-56X brings together several technologies that are particularly valuable in high-density environments,” said Kevin Tolly, Founder of The Tolly Group. “The directive antenna design, Wi-Fi 7 architecture, integrated IoT capabilities, and cloud-managed operation provide organizations with a practical approach to supporting growing connectivity requirements while maintaining operational simplicity.”

View the Tolly Group preview video of the X7-56X, showcasing the access point’s ultra-high-density design, Wi-Fi 7 capabilities, deployment flexibility, and performance advantages for demanding enterprise environments.

Cambium Networks’ directional Wi-Fi 7 innovation was recently highlighted by Wi-Fi NOW in an Expert Insights article by CEO and Chairman Claus Hetting.

OCEAN Launches Portal, the First End-to-End Encrypted Pool Dashboard for Bitcoin Miners

New customizable dashboard gives miners operation-wide tools without surrendering privacy or identity

MIAMI, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today OCEAN announced the launch of OCEAN Portal, a customizable, end-to-end encrypted dashboard that gives Bitcoin miners a complete view of their operation. PORTAL was unveiled on stage at Mining Disrupt 2026, the world’s largest Bitcoin mining expo and conference, held July 21-23 at the Miami Airport Convention Center, by OCEAN President Mark Artymko. PORTAL is available now, for free, to all miners on OCEAN at portal.ocean.xyz.

OCEAN was built permissionless from the ground up, a deliberate design choice that, like Bitcoin itself, gives miners unhindered access to their own information. Traditional pools organize miner data by storing it on their own servers. OCEAN Portal delivers that same organized, polished experience while keeping miners fully in control: a permissionless, encrypted view of your mining addresses with the look and feel of an enterprise-style dashboard. Miners can combine multiple Bitcoin addresses into a single view, organize addresses by site, and assign human-readable names to sites, workers, and teams. Portal includes site-specific statistics, worker insights, payout information in Bitcoin and fiat, robust reporting tools, and access controls that let operators share full dashboards with their teams or generate expiring read-only links for clients. No account or email is required. Miners sign in with a Bitcoin address and a password they create. The convenience of enterprise dashboards, with the security of OCEAN.

“PORTAL was built in direct response to miner feedback,” said Mark Artymko, President of OCEAN. “Some of our miners told us that a customizable dashboard was the only thing standing between their full stack of hashrate and the pool. OCEAN heard them, and built it.”

PORTAL is powered by Sub-space Locker, an application-independent encrypted storage and access-control system developed by OCEAN. Built on public-key cryptography, Sub-space Locker authenticates users, stores encrypted application data, and controls what each user can access. Encryption and decryption happen locally in the user’s browser, leaving OCEAN and other intermediaries unable to read the underlying data.

“Every mining pool dashboard on earth makes the same trade: your tooling for your identity,” said Jason Hughes, VP of Engineering at OCEAN. “PORTAL refuses that trade. Miners get pool-grade information in the most sovereign way possible. We couldn’t read their data even if we tried.”

Since launching in 2023, OCEAN has focused on returning sovereignty to Bitcoin miners through permissionless, non-custodial pooled mining, fully transparent and auditable TIDES payouts, and DATUM, which puts block template construction back in miners’ hands. PORTAL extends that mission from the pool to the mining operation itself.

OCEAN Portal is available now at portal.ocean.xyz.

About OCEAN

OCEAN is a Bitcoin mining pool built on miner sovereignty. Operated by Mummolin, Inc., OCEAN offers non-custodial payouts, transparent reward accounting, and DATUM, the only pool technology that lets individual miners construct their own block templates.
