Failed UK networking vendor Cambium set to turn off its cloudy management portal
Quits enterprise networking hardware business, tells users to install on-prem software ASAP
UK networking hardware company Cambium Networks has entered administration, prompting concerns over the future of its cloud services. The company has faced financial troubles, with unreliable financial reports and a failed attempt to rejoin NASDAQ. In May, the company disclosed that it had laid off 260 employees, or 53.6% of its workforce, without providing severance payments.
Cambium has now announced it will wind down production of its Wi-Fi access points, NSE firewalls, and cnMatrix switches, with a focus on stabilizing its remaining business. The hosted management platform, cnMaestro Cloud, is expected to remain operational until October 1st, 2026, after which the company recommends users transition to the on-prem version of the software.
Cambium customers now face a race against time to maintain their networks and remain uncertain about the long-term viability of the cloud-based management solution.
