Failed UK networking vendor Cambium set to turn off its cloudy management portal
UK-based networking vendor Cambium Networks has entered administration and ceased production of its enterprise hardware, including Wi-Fi access points and switches. The company has laid off over half its workforce without severance and warned that its cloud management platform, cnMaestro Cloud, will likely cease operations by October 1, 2026. Customers are urged to immediately install on-premises software to maintain device management, though this solution is currently limited to a 90-day trial license.
- ▪Cambium Networks has entered administration and stopped producing its Wi-Fi access points, NSE firewalls, and cnMatrix switches.
- ▪The company dismissed 260 employees, representing 53.6% of its workforce, without providing severance payments.
- ▪Administrators indicated that the fixed wireless broadband business is expected to resume operations after a short pause.
- ▪Customers are advised to install the on-premises version of cnMaestro before October 1, 2026, to avoid losing management capabilities.
- ▪The on-premises software is currently available only under a 90-day trial license, with future support dependent on a potential business acquisition.
