Cambridge Broadband Networks Limited (CBNL) develops and manufactures point-to-multipoint (PMP) wireless backhaul and access solutions, serving telecommunication customers in over 30 countries.
PMP is a wireless technology which creates a radio link between a central location and multiple cell sites.

The Company’s VectaStar product uses its PMP topology to share wireless backhaul and access resource between several cell sites, each generating voice and packet traffic. This technology means spectrum can be managed dynamically and efficiently and can reduce capital and operating costs. VectaStar is used by telecoms network providers across the globe to build a variety of wireless backhaul and access networks. This includes new packet networks; mobile broadband network upgrades; ethernet enterprise networks and 2G - 3G IP backhaul migration. VectaStar delivers up to and over 300Mbit/s full duplex per sector and is deployable in 2G, 3G, 4G, small cell and Long Term Evolution (LTE) backhaul networks.
The company offers services including network planning and design; network deployment; network operation; customer training; 24-hour customer support and WEEE recycling.
The Company was founded in 2000 by ten engineers from Cambridge University who secured private equity funding to develop an innovative solution to the increased demand for mobile communications. Soon after the company started, the earliest variant of VectaStar was launched and shipped to the first customers. Over the following years CBNL identified new market opportunities and developed product variants to address those, featuring new frequencies and a move into the backhaul space.
