ConnectedPartner Program for Value-Added Resellers and System Integrators:
The Cambium Networks ConnectedPartner program enables our channel partners to better respond to today’s evolving marketplace. The program consists of two levels: ConnectedPartner (CP) and ConnectedPartner Plus (CP+). When partners reach the CP+ level, they receive additional benefits. Additionally, see page 2 for our vertical market programs. Members of these programs receive additional benefits. Together, we’ll provide customers with innovative wireless broadband solutions that enable better information, better decisions, and better results. We hope you’ll take advantage of all the program has to offer your business.
