PTP 700 Point to Point Wireless Ethernet Bridge
PTP 700 Point to Point Wireless Ethernet Bridge, from Cambium Networks, Ltd., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3456 at overall level 2. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The PTP 700 is deployed to create a point-to-point wireless bridge joining two Ethernet networks, or a point-to-multipoint wireless bridge joining between two and nine Ethernet networks. The Module operates in licensed, lightly-licensed, and unlicensed frequency bands between 4400 MHz and 5875 MHz, in channel bandwidths up to 45 MHz, providing aggregate data rates up to 450 Mbit/s. The Module transmits and receives Ethernet frames as plaintext, and transmits and receives encrypted wireless signals. Variants of the module differ in physical format, regulatory compliance, capacity and color.
