Cambridge Broadband Networks was formed in January 2000 by an experienced team with a strong record of successful innovation in broadband wireless design. Cambridge Broadband Networks has pioneered the development of carrier-class, point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access equipment. The company is focused on delivering high quality multi-service networks to network operators with the best price-performance in the licensed bands worldwide.

Cambridge Broadband Networks’s VectaStar product family provides telecommunications operators with a highly flexible point-to-multipoint radio transmission platform, used for cellular backhaul, WiMAX/WiFi backhaul and business access. A carrier-class solution, it supports E1/T1, IP and ATM traffic. It is available for multiple frequency bands: 3.5GHz, 10.5GHz and 23-28GHz. With its capacity, range, service mix, and spectral efficiency, VectaStar is technically and commercially proven in many deployments worldwide. The company has gained customers across the globe and is seeing great potential in China, Malaysia and South Africa in particular.

Amadeus led the first-stage investment round of $5 million including the Italian venture capital firm, Pino Ventures. Subsequently Amadeus helped the company establish a strategic and sales vision and co-invested in further financing rounds. Most recently, in January 2007, together with Accel Partners, TVM and Latin Rim, Amadeus led a $22.5 million investment.
