Ceragon designs and manufactures high-capacity communication systems for wireless backhaul, mid-haul, and front-haul. The company addresses the segment of the cellular market that connects cell sites to an operator's core network (backhaul), as well as distributed cell site functions located in separate geographical locations (mid-haul and front-haul). Ceragon provides wireless equipment with capacities of up to 40 Gbps and plans to add products based on higher frequency bands to support capacities up to 100 Gbps and beyond. [5] Ceragon markets its products under a range of IP-branded product lines.
