2. BETTER CONNECTED
MEANS BETTER PROTECTED
The Cambium RDB 350 is a multipoint broadband network that answers
an urgent, growing need: enhanced convoy communications and security.
Leveraging Cambium Networks’ expertise in mobile and mission-critical
communications, the RDB 350 is a high-performance mobile solution
ruggedized to withstand the rigors of military convoy applications.
What makes the RDB 350 so effective?
BUILT-IN MOBILITY. With its industry-standard IEEE 802.16e WiMax technology, the RGB 350 offers built-in
mobility, long-distance ranging and the ability to deliver communications connectivity at speeds of up to 50 mph (80 kph).
MIL-SPEC-810G COMPLIANCE. The RDB 350 is built for the hard use and rugged environments of military
applications. The equipment is compliant with stringent military standards for shock, vibration, temperature extremes,
water, humidity, dust, sand and much more.
THE CAMBIUM
MIMO A AND B SUPPORT. The system supports the upload and download capabilities of MIMO A and B RDB 350
technology, allowing for faster downloads to all vehicles in the convoy.

SPACE DIVERSITY. The RDB 350 system allows for the use of two separate antennas per radio, providing horizontal
and vertical polarization, which can substantially improve performance.
SYSTEM GAIN. The The RDB 350’s transmission power and receiver sensititivity translate to high system gain
that provides the ability to transmit farther and faster with the smallest possible antenna, making the system easier to
transport, install and align.
SECURITY. The RDB 350 assures high levels of security with over-the-air 128-bit AES encryption and can interface
with third party bulk encryption devices.
