Our prepared remarks will be followed by a Q&A session. I'd now like to turn the call over to Atul. Thank you, Peter. Cambium's overall revenue performance in Q2 was poor. The performance was a result of a severe slowdown in revenues from Cambium's enterprise products. I will spend the next several minutes explaining what happened, as well as describing how we will get Cambium's enterprise business back on track. First, what happened? During the second quarter, revenue from Cambium's enterprise products was significantly below expectations. While PMP and PTP products performed at or ahead of expectations. The cause of the decline in revenue from enterprise products in the second quarter were all a symptom of a severe slowdown of sales through the enterprise channel to the end customers. This slowdown in the enterprise channel was caused by several factors. First, component supply, including chips, became readily available to our competitors during the quarter, and the advantage Cambium had in supply and order fulfillment was dramatically reduced. As we have discussed in the past, COVID caused major shifts in the global supply chain throughout the past 3 years, and these shifts had a significant impact on component availability and revenue performance. Second, competitors, now with plenty of supply, became very aggressive with pricing in an attempt to regain market share. We saw the impact of these factors, especially in the last month of the quarter, given product shipments are heavily weighted to the last few weeks of the quarter based on distributor orders and requested delivery dates. Third, a decline in global economy resulted in cancellations and delays in end customer projects in several regions and in distributor ordering decisions. All of these items resulted in a bottleneck in enterprise channel inventory. This further exacerbated our reported enterprise revenues due to a higher-than-normal volume of enterprise stock rotations. How will we get the enterprise business back on track? As a result of the poor revenue performance, we have taken several actions. First, we have initiated an individualized strategy with each of our largest distributors and partners to move enterprise products through the channel faster, removing the bottleneck, while also providing aggressive incentives to gain share of wallet with new customers, new markets, and new geographies. Second, we have executed a $14 million annualized cost reduction program, which will protect our profitability and strong balance sheet while we work through the challenges in the enterprise business. Andrew will provide more details on the cost reduction later in our call. Outside of the disappointing revenue performance of the enterprise products, we had some very positive events, including a record quarter for our Point-to-Point PTP business, fueled by execution of large defense deals discussed during our last earnings call. Our defense funnel remains very strong, and we expect to have a record year in our PTP business. Further, our Point-to-Multipoint PMP business performed better than expected, with sequential quarter growth fueled by demand for 28 GHz fixed 5G and strong interest from our newly released Cambium Fiber products. We anticipate PMP revenues will continue to grow both sequentially and year-over-year during the second half of 2023. We expect that final approval by the FCC for 6 GHz spectrum will benefit our new ePMP 4600 and PMP 450v product lines. Summarizing the results of the second quarter, 2023. Revenues decreased 14% year-over-year and 23% quarter-over-quarter, primarily as a result of slowing revenues from enterprise products in the EMEA and North American regions. While our other products and regions performed consistent with or above our expectations. Our gross margin, EBITDA, and profitability were lower than expected due to lower shipments of our Enterprise products. Cambium's second quarter 2023 revenues of $59.5 million were below the bottom of our outlook, while our gross margin of 50.3% came in at the lower end of our outlook. Overall profitability of $0.03 per share was lower than our outlook due to the loss of scale as a result of the performance of the Enterprise business. Looking at revenues across our product lines. Our enterprise revenues declined 82% sequentially and 73% year-over-year. As previously mentioned, we have begun taking aggressive steps to decrease enterprise channel inventory. We expect a return to sequential growth in enterprise products during Q3 2023, and a return to a normal run rate during first half of 2024. Our PTP revenues increased 39% sequentially and 60% year-over-year. We continue to expect strong year-over-year defense shipments during the remainder of 2023, as we are engaged in an increasing number of Global Defense Program of Record, POR. Our PMP revenues increased 20% sequentially, although lower by 5% year-over-year, as service providers are moving from our current generation of PMP 450 products to the new gigabit technologies. This will include Cambium's 6 GHz products, which are expected to help drive PMP revenue growth during the second half of the year upon the FCC's approval. In addition, our 28 GHz fixed 5G product had a record quarter, and we had earlier than expected stocking orders for our new PMP fiber product. Looking at some notable customer wins and new product developments. In North America, Cambium reached a significant milestone as we received official approval from the world's largest global hotel chain for our enterprise solutions. The chain has over 8,600 properties in 133 countries and territories with approximately 1.6 million rooms. We are also working to get our 60 GHz cnWave qualified with this customer. Cambium has particular strength in the hospitality vertical. Approvals such as this give us confidence in our ability to grow the enterprise business in the future. Cambium is now working with partners serving four of the top five global hospitality brands, including deployments with Cambium's cloud-managed Wi-Fi and switching products. In the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, EMEA, we had wins with managed service providers, MSPs, in hospitality, multifamily and student housing sectors in EMEA, including with Nevaya, Nonius, and Freshwave. One of our recent enterprise wins in EMEA included the Hilton Heathrow Airport, a major hotel at one of the busiest airports in the world. In Spain, a regional operator, Globe Telecom, activated the first deployment of the fixed wireless 5G technology in the 26 GHz band. The new network uses frequencies acquired by Globe Telecom in the Spanish government's recent 26 GHz band tender, the last remaining priority tier for 5G services, in combination with Cambium Networks' cnWave 5G NR-based platform. In Cape Town, South Africa, a service provider, Wibernet, is using Cambium's cnWave 5G Fixed in the licensed 26 GHz-28 GHz frequency band to increase service levels for broadband customers by offering packages of up to 200 Mbps, resulting in increased service levels in a matter of days. We are now seeing the early 28 GHz product POCs turning into multimillion-dollar commercial deals. In the Asia Pacific, APAC region in Malaysia, we had an enterprise win with a government agency for our Wi-Fi 6 access points for a high-speed express train. The train provides nonstop express train service from main transportation hub in Kuala Lumpur to the airport. In Caribbean, Latin America, CALA region, Universidad de La Sabana, one of the most important private universities in Colombia, decided to upgrade their networks with our Wi-Fi 6 and 6E solution, providing Wi-Fi access to more than 12,000 students in an expansive campus with 14 buildings. Cambium was selected over a larger competitor since we gave them superior Wi-Fi coverage at a lower total cost of ownership. Turning to upcoming product introductions and developments since our previous quarterly update. In the enterprise portfolio in Q3 2023, we recently introduced 2 new Layer 2 and 3 cnMatrix EX3K switches, which feature high Power over Ethernet and support Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, video surveillance, and other devices for mission-critical networks. The advanced switches support our Cambium ONE Network architecture and feature dual removable, redundant power supplies, and high power and high-density capability. Within our fixed wireless portfolio, we are eagerly awaiting final approval from the FCC for 6 GHz spectrum during the second half of calendar year 2023. Cambium currently has approximately 25 ongoing trials for our 6 GHz ePMP 4600 product with broadband service providers, which will help drive our future PMP revenues with our first-to-market advantage. Looking at our cnMaestro Cloud software, total devices under cloud management in Q2 2023 was over 980,000, an increase of approximately 6% from Q1 2023 and up 17% year-over-year. Turning to our channel. In the Q2 2023, we expanded our channel presence by adding approximately 390 net new channel partners sequentially and approximately 1,600 net new channel partners year-over-year, which represents an increase of approximately 3% sequentially and about 13% year-over-year. During Q2 2023, Cambium shared our strategy and vision at Cambium Connections, our biannual online webinars for end customers and the partner community throughout various geos. We also held numerous customer industry analyst e-briefings on our new Cambium Fiber solutions, which are generating lots of excitement, particularly with North American service providers. I'll now turn the call over to Andrew for a review of our Q2 '23 financial results and outlook for Q3 2023 and full- year 2023. Thanks, Atul. As Atul mentioned, we have executed a significant cost reduction plan designed to align our cost structure with our current and expected near-term revenue run rate in order to maintain profitability, improve cash flow, and to maintain our strong balance sheet. We expect to realize annualized cost savings of approximately $14 million, of which we expect about $6 million to be realized during the second half of calendar 2023. In connection with our cost reduction, Cambium expects to incur approximately $2 million in one-time restructuring charges during the second half of 2023, mainly consisting of cash severance costs. Financial strength and resilience are our core value, and we will continue to manage costs prudently. Turning to the quarter, Cambium reported revenues of $59.5 million for Q2 2023. Revenues decreased by 23% quarter-over-quarter and by 14% year-over-year. On a sequential basis for Q2 2023, revenues were lower by $17.9 million. The lower revenues were primarily the result of decreased enterprise revenues, partially offset by record growth in PTP revenues and, as expected, a return to quarter-over-quarter growth in the PMP business. We have seen PMP channel inventories decline in the second quarter, which reflects the channel anticipating our new 6 GHz products. Revenues of $59.5 million decreased by $9.8 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower enterprise revenues as a result of higher channel inventories and slowing economies, especially in EMEA, and decreased PMP revenues due to less demand from service providers ahead of the ramp of the product transitions to new gigabit technologies, including our 6 GHz products, partially offset by record PTP revenues due to excellent performance of Cambium's defense products. We continue to expect strong PTP revenues for the remainder of the year due to our expanding defense business. Moving to our gross margin. Our non-GAAP gross margin of 50.3% was higher by approximately 140 basis points compared to Q2 2022. The year-over-year increase in our non-GAAP gross margin was the result of a greater mix of higher-margin PTP defense products and the impact of price increases completed in November 2022, partially offset by the impact of lower enterprise revenues. On a sequential basis, our non-GAAP gross margin decreased by approximately 180 basis points compared to Q1 2023. The lower quarter-over-quarter non-GAAP gross margin in Q2 2023 was the result of lower enterprise revenues, partially offset by higher-margin PTP defense revenues, along with improved efficiencies and the impact from our November 2022 price increases. In Q2 2023, our non-GAAP gross profit dollars of $29.9 million decreased by $3.9 million compared to the prior year, and by $10.4 million sequentially, due to lower enterprise revenues. Non-GAAP total operating expenses, including amortization, in Q2 2023 increased by approximately $800,000 when compared to Q2 2022, and stood at $28.3 million, or 47.5% of revenues. The increase in operating expenses compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to higher headcount in R&D and sales and marketing, as well as increasing wages due to inflation, offset in part by lower variable compensation costs. When compared to Q1 2023, non-GAAP operating expenses decreased by approximately $2.6 million during Q2 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in operating expenses is due to lower variable compensation costs as a result of lower enterprise revenues. Our non-GAAP operating margin for Q2 2023 was 2.8%, down from 9.1% during Q2 2022, and 12.2% of revenues in Q1 2023. Non-GAAP net income for Q2 2023 was $900,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, well below our outlook for the quarter, and compared to $5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share for Q2 2022, and non-GAAP net income of $6.8 million or $0.24 per diluted share during Q1 2023. The lower non-GAAP net income compared to prior year was primarily due to lower enterprise revenues and gross profit dollars, and higher operating expenses due to inflation. While the lower net income compared to the prior quarter's results, was primarily the result of the lower enterprise revenues and the lower gross margin dollars, which was partially offset by lower operating expenses due to reduced variable compensation and tight cost controls. Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2023 was $2.8 million, or 4.7% of revenues, compared to $7.8 million, or 11.3% of revenues for Q2 2022, and compared to $10.4 million, or 13.4% of revenues for Q1 2023. Moving to cash flow. Cash used in operating activities was $4.5 million for Q2 2023, and compares to cash provided by operating activities of $10 million for Q2 2022, and cash used in operating activities of $6 million in Q1 2023. During Q2 2023, cash was used to increase inventories for anticipated higher enterprise shipments, materials to support new products, and to allow for greater product availability and lower lead times for our customers. We do expect the inventories to begin to decrease in Q3 2023, as we expect increased revenues and new products introduced in our Fixed Wireless business. We expect positive cash generation during the second half of 2023. Turning to the balance sheet. Cash totaled $32 million as of June 30, 2023, a decrease of $6.7 million from Q1 2023. The sequential decrease in cash primarily reflects changes in working capital, driven by higher inventories. Net inventories of $82.3 million in Q2 2023 increased by $14 million from Q1 2023, and by $34.9 million year-over-year. Inventories were higher sequentially because of lower than anticipated enterprise shipments and the expected ramp of new product introductions. In summary, Cambium's second quarter results were disappointing, driven by low enterprise revenues and high enterprise channel inventory, further compounded by global economic uncertainty. We are taking significant and aggressive actions to address the issues that we have experienced in Q2, including a significant cost reduction, along with more aggressive sales actions. We are also leveraging the positive performance in our PTP defense products and continuing the positive momentum from our PMP products, which we expect will be fueled by FCC approval of our 6 GHz products. Product delivery lead times are now shorter, causing changes in the channel's purchasing patterns. We are well-positioned for new product introductions and expect to generate cash from operations in the second half of 2023. Moving to the third quarter and full- year 2023 financial outlook. Cambium Networks' financial outlook does not include the potential impact of any possible future financial transactions, acquisitions, pending legal matters, or other transactions. Considering our current visibility as of today, our Q3 2023 financial outlook is expected to be as follows: We expect revenues between $62 million-$70 million, representing an increase of approximately 4%-18% from Q2 23, from the continued strong year-over-year growth in the PTP defense products, and as we benefit from the ramp of 28 GHz and the new PMP products, as well as higher sequential enterprise revenues, although we do expect enterprise revenues to decline year-over-year. We expect non-GAAP, non-GAAP gross margin of between 49.8% and 51.3%, non-GAAP operating expenses between $25.6 million and $26.6 million, non-GAAP operating income of between $5.2 million and $9.2 million, interest expense net of approximately $700,000, non-GAAP net income of between $3.7 million to $6.9 million, or net income per diluted share of between $0.13 and $0.25. We expect adjusted EBITDA between $6.3 million and $10.3 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of between 10.2% and 14.8%. We anticipate a non-GAAP effective income tax rate of between 17% and 21%. We expect about 28 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Cash requirements are expected to be as follows: We expect pay down of debt, $700,000, cash interest of about $500,000, and we expect capital expenditures of between $4 million-$4.5 million. Full- year 2023 financial outlook is expected to be as follows: We're expecting revenues of between $265 million-$275 million, representing a decline of 7%-11%. non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 50.2%-51.6%. non-GAAP net income of between $16.7 million-$21.9 million, or net income per diluted share of between $0.59-$0.78. Adjusted EBITDA margin of between 10.5%-12.6%. For the year, capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $12 million-$14 million, mainly driven by costs associated with new research and development projects. I will now turn the call back to Atul for some closing remarks. While the exact timing of a return to a more normalized revenue pattern in our enterprise business is difficult to predict, we currently expect to see higher sequential enterprise revenues in Q3 and Q4 2023, and a return to a more normalized quarterly revenue pattern in the first half of 2024, while we work aggressively with our channel partners to digest the current level of channel inventory. Our PTP business, fueled by the defense products, is strong, and we expect a record year of revenue in 2023, as we continue to expand the number of programs and countries in which we participate. Our PMP business has turned the corner with sequential growth in Q2 2023, and we expect it'll continue to accelerate with the FCC approval of Cambium's affordable 6 GHz products, with clear first-mover advantage. We continue to see growth in our 28 GHz cnWave 5G Fixed, while our new Fiber products are off to a good start. We also expect increased government funding will help accelerate the growth of our PMP business over many years. We continue to judiciously manage our costs and have taken action to improve our operations and to protect our profitability, while also continuing to invest in innovative new products in order to provide quality products at a compelling value. As mentioned in today's press release, although I have stepped down as the company's President and CEO, effective today, I'll continue to serve as a member of the company's Board of Directors. I'm proud to be handling, handing the leadership role at Cambium to Morgan Kurk, an industry veteran, whose previous industry experience includes more than 11 years at CommScope, most recently as Executive Vice President, Broadband Market Segment Leader, and Chief Technology Officer. I will be working closely with Morgan to ensure a very smooth transition. We are very lucky to have Morgan, with his rich broadband and wireless background, to lead Cambium in its next phase of growth and innovation. Finally, I would like to show my appreciation for employees, partners, and customers. This concludes our prepared remarks. Morgan Kurk, our new CEO, is with us in the room with me. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Amber and begin the Q&A session. Thank you. We will now conduct the question- and- answer session. As a reminder, to ask a question, please press Star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press Star one one again. Please stand by as we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from Simon Leopold at Raymond James. Please go ahead. Well, thanks for, for taking the question. Morgan, it's been a bit, so, hello again. Hello. Two things I wanna ask, let's start out with the sort of question that has to be asked, which is why you opted not to pre-announce this quarter? Then I've got a follow-up on the trending. Thanks. Yeah, Simon, there were quite a few changes we were making, not just revenue miss, but management change, as well as the cost cutting, cost reductions. We felt that all of that should be done together. Based on that, the Board decided not to pre-announce. Okay, then I, I wanna make sure we all understand, when you talk about, getting back to normalized run rate in the first half of 2024, I, I wanna make sure I understand what that means. Yeah, I'll give you my comments, and then Andrew can offer, you know, his, some of his color as well. We are working very closely with our key channel partners on individualized strategy for moving the products to the channel. We are giving them aggressive incentives to move the products. When we look at the sales out, the sales out for Q2 actually was flattish to Q1. We looked at full model, and as Andrew and I worked together, we felt that based on our experience with even fixed wireless broadband, we saw something similar with fixed wireless broadband as well last year. As the pendulum swung from paucity to abundance, it took us 2, 3 quarters to work through that inventory, and fixed wireless broadband now is a lot more towards normal inventory. We know. We know what it takes, we know how it has to be done, and based on that, we feel that first half 2024, it'll come back to more of that normal run rate. Maybe Andrew can make some other comments to that. You know, I think you covered it well, Atul. I mean, we're not in a position yet to be talking much about 2024. When we look specifically at enterprise, and we speak with our channel partners and understand the incentives that we're offering, we do believe that certainly by the second quarter of next year, that we're going to be back to a more normalized run rate. Yeah, what I'm really trying to get at is, what's the value of normal? Because we had three quarters in a row between $30 million and $40 million a quarter that looked like they were excessive, where I would maybe interpret normal as kind of in the teens, millions per quarter, and then some, some growth off of that level through the year. Given sort of the variability of the history of the enterprise Wi-Fi business, I, I guess I'm just trying to get a sense of what that baseline normal value is- Yeah, I understand. in your mind. I think the way to look at it. Well, first, you know, that, that, that through COVID, you're right, that there were some high quarters and, and there's some low quarters in various areas of our business, and COVID played a big part of that in terms of supply chain and availability. I think that we're viewing normal as a quarterly run rate of between $20 million and $30 million, and that's really getting back to normal, and we think there are good opportunities also to grow from there in the future. Great. That's exactly what I was looking for, so that's helpful. Just maybe a quick follow-up. It does sound like the product cycles in PMP are very much on track, and I want to make sure I didn't sort of miss something in that regard on the 28 GHz, 60 GHz. Just want to double-check that. Yeah, Simon, let me give a little extra color on that. First of all, you are right, PMP has turned the corner, and we feel pretty good about sequential growth in Q3 and Q4, as well as year-over-year growth in second half, based on the numbers and based on the funnel. Let me give a little more color on that. ePMP 4600, which has first mover advantage in the industry, with 6 GHz, is being very well received. We have 25 POCs right now, and remember, that is even before FCC has accepted it, just fantastic performance, price performance. People are very much waiting for FCC to approve, and then you will see a good pent-up demand. Canopy 5, which is our upcoming 450 compatible, backwards compatible PMP product, which customers in the field Remember, there are thousands of networks worldwide with PMP 450, and Canopy 5 or 450v, we call it, PMP 450v, that also supports 6 GHz band, and it also is designed to really go into the install base. That'll come in Q4, and we'll start beta trials in Q3. And 28 GH z had a record quarter in Q2. Remember, we always said, while 6 GHz, 5 GHz might have thousands of networks, 28 GHz will have hundreds of networks, but those hundreds of networks will be far bigger in revenue, and we are seeing that. We have many multimillion-dollar deals. There are 10 28 GHz customers which are in commercial deployment, and there are another about 14 which are in POCs. That kind of gives you a flavor that 28 GHz is moving along and really becoming, particularly in EMEA, CALA, Asia, is becoming a very key bedrock of high-performance broadband. Yeah, that's part of what- Thanks for taking the question. Really gives us confidence, Simon, in terms of Q3. You know, you look at Q2, we did have, as we had predicted, sequential growth in the PMP business, and it was actually a little bit stronger than what we had predicted. The 28 GHz deals that we're working on right now, these are some significant deals that you're going to hear more about as we continue through the third quarter. Thank you. Amber, can we take the next question? One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from Scott Searle at ROTH MKM. Please go ahead. Hey, guys. Just a quick clarification. I want to follow up on Simon's question related to enterprise and Wi-Fi. You know, from a competitive standpoint, are you losing anything here then in a normalized environment where competitors have availability to component supply that, that you were able to capitalize on previously? Could you also quantify for us what the level of channel inventory is in weeks, if you have some idea, as what that looks like? Where does Wi-Fi 7 fit into the picture as we're going forward into 2024? I had a follow-up. Scott, let me give my answer, and I'll let Andrew add extra color. In terms of-- remember, we took a lot of market share over the last, you know, probably 2 years from competition. The main reason was very good price performance of Cambium products, particularly in hospitality and multi-dwelling unit market. As the supply became, you know, available or abundant to everyone, some of our competition went a lot more aggressive with pricing, and we did lose some deals. It's not that we won everything. We did lose. Another key factor, which was probably a bigger factor, is the markets we serve, particularly EMEA, the economic impact there, the macroeconomic impact there is far more severe than we sometimes realize in North America. That also slowed down. Many deals actually moved. Many projects got delayed. That also impacted quite a bit. Interest rate, high-interest rates impact multi-dwelling unit, new construction, new infrastructure, far more. While as you, as you look at different companies, different companies will have different dynamics because depending on what segments they serve. In our segment, these were the key impacts. On the channel inventory, I will let Andrew give a little color there. On Wi-Fi, let me do Wi-Fi 7, I'll pass it to Andrew. Wi-Fi 7 is the next Wi-Fi standard. We are looking at that, but we have not made any commitments or any major shifts because we, we make these decisions pretty thoughtfully. We look at the need, we look at the benefits, we look at the differentiation. We also make sure that it's not just technology chasing a solution, but truly there's a customer need. we'll, you know, we'll give more color on that probably in upcoming quarters. Yeah, give you some more color in terms of what's happening in the channel. Our sales out in enterprise this past quarter were, were in the, in the mid to upper teens. Even though we, we reported revenue of only $6 million in the quarter, the channels out, the, the, the sales out of the channel, was still at that, you know, mid to high teens level. We believe that with the initiatives and the more aggressive sales initiatives of working with each individual major distributor, will certainly help drive that $17 million up to a higher level and towards that $20 million-$30 million normalized level that I mentioned, that we believe that we'll get to in the first half of next year. That's, that's the pace. We, we don't, we don't disclose, you know, individual product level detail on channel inventory, but I think you have enough information, you could probably back into it. Okay, no, that's helpful. Thank you. If I could, looking at the guidance for the year of $265-$275, if I take the mid-range of the guidance for the third quarter, it kind of implies a flattish fourth quarter, yet I'm hearing recovery in Wi-Fi, you're seeing continued momentum in Point-to-Point from a defense standpoint, and in Point-to-Multipoint, you've got multiple new products that are going into it. I'm wondering, is there some sort of seasonality or otherwise, that you're expecting in one of those product lines as we go into the fourth quarter? As part of that, what's your current assumption in terms of AFC approval? I think, absent from your earlier remarks, I didn't hear a lot about 60 GHz, but my conversations with the channel, in addition to 6 GHz gaining a lot of momentum, is 60 GHz has actually been seeing a strong resurgence. I'm kind of wondering where that fits into the picture into the end of this year in 2024. Thanks. Thanks, Scott. Let me take the 60 GHz and AFC, and then I'll pass it to Andrew for the guidance for the year. You are absolutely right. 60 GHz and fiber is a very good combination. Where fiber stops, the rains are tough, many of our fiber customers are actually coming to us and asking for 60 GHz. We see momentum in 60 GHz, especially in WISP. I, I think we mentioned a quarter or two back that one of the WISP in Canada, they have deployed about 5,000 60 GHz nodes for a very high-performance network, smart city project, CCTV, last 1 to 2 km gigabit connectivity. We see that. Also, Cambium, overall, you know, I think we also mentioned the last few quarters, we have unique over 1,000 customers worldwide on 60 GHz. This is one of those things that it has taken longer, but absolutely a very key building block for the last mile, last few kilometers to provide gigabit connectivity. AFC. Our current thinking is, and again, remember, when, as the government is working on approvals for 6 GHz, it's difficult to predict. These are its schedules. Our feeling is that September-October timeframe is when 6 GHz most probably will be approved and AFC will be unleashed, and algorithms will be working, and customers can deploy networks. Most of the networks are in POCs right now, and as we said earlier, about 25 POCs we are in already, and we are very much looking forward to turning that on. In terms of the forecast, just to go through some of the details here. First, PMP is somewhat unchanged from where it was when we spoke last. You'll see that for the year, we're expecting flattish to ±1% or so in terms of revenue growth. We do expect both Q3 and Q4 in PMP to show sequential and year-over-year growth. Point-to-Point, as we've said before as well, we have very good visibility in terms of opportunities within the defense sector especially. We continue to expect that we're going to see a record year in revenues in PTP. We're probably gonna see in Q3 and Q4, somewhat consistent revenue that we had in Q2. That's gonna generate, at the end of the year, you know, a very strong, you know, mid-to-high 30s growth rate for the year in terms of, in terms of what we're currently anticipating. The Enterprise sector is gonna take some time, as we said. You know, we're gonna be looking at the first half of next year, probably Q2, when we get to that more normalized level, and we've got to eat through the inventory that's in the channel. We're not counting on a significant ramp-up in revenue, although we are anticipating some level of very modest increase in Q3 and Q4. We are looking at working through that channel inventory with each of our major distributors and seeing that further growth into next year and getting to more of a normalized $20 million-$30 million quarterly level in Q2 of next year. Great, thank you. Please hold for our next question. Our next question comes from George Notter at Jefferies LLC. Please go ahead. Hi, guys. Thanks a lot. Just continuing with the inventory discussion. It sounds like your plan to clear out inventory with the distribution channel is to just incentivize them. Is it just simply a price-cutting exercise, or are there more actions that you can take there? I'd, I'd be curious to hear. Can you tell us how much inventory you think is, is really out there, and how much inventory is out there in excess of normal levels? Any sense of that would be great. Yeah, George, it's me. When, when we say working with channel, I think it's not just price cutting. I think, first of all, we are working with each one of them, the way we did in fixed wireless broadband. We looked at, we worked with each distributor and also, figured out what projects they had, engaged our sales team, worked with them on a very individualized basis. In addition to that, the demand generation programs we have for enterprise, they're also focused on those segments of hospitality, multi-dwelling units, education. It's a combination of all of those things, you know, working with them. Pricing, plus demand generation, plus supporting them with whatever marketing they need, with our MDF funds, all of that. Yeah, the extra incentives are also to get new customers in new geographies, and for those to be longer lasting, in essence, and, and get into those customers and focus on the verticals that we've spoken about in the past. That's number one. Number two, you know, as I mentioned earlier, in the call, I'm not sure if you were on or not, but we spoke about the fact that we're expecting enterprise to get to a level, a normalized level of a $20 million-$30 million quarterly run rate by Q2 of next year. The sales out this past quarter were $17 million. Although revenue was only $6 million, we had sales out of $17 million, and a portion of that differential was a result of inventory that was, in essence, exchanged for other inventory, and in some cases it was exchanged for PMP inventory. Even with that, our PMP channel inventory level went down. Even, even more than absorbing that exchange, in essence, that came back from the channel. I think you can. We're not gonna get into specific channel inventory by product line. We've, we've never spoken about that. We're not gonna disclose that. I think I've given you enough information that you can pretty easily back into it. Got it. Okay, and then, I, I, I guess the other question I had was just on the fiber product. I'm, I'm curious about additional reactions. I, I think, you know, Atul, you kind of said earlier that the feedback's been positive, but anything more specific or tangible you can, you can say would be great? Sure. George, as I think we mentioned in last call, our focus on fiber is on the mid-size customers, not very large customers. Our focus on fiber is on our install base, wireless internet service providers. I would say more than half of our wireless internet service providers, particularly in North America, they already have fiber. They use wireless, but they also use fiber. With the government money, many of them are interested in going towards fiber. When we conceived our fiber product, we knew our differentiation has to be in ease of deployment, ease of management, integration with wireless, like 60 GHz. Just making it seamless for our customers who are used to Cambium simplicity. That's what you will see. We have 15 POCs, and we're going to increase that. Initial customer feedback is, yes, it is much simpler to deploy because we have not designed fiber for a large service provider. We have designed fiber for a mid-size WISP and service provider and kept the simplicity. So far, very, very positive feedback. As the government money comes into this space, you'll see Cambium participate there. Got it. Thank you very much. Thanks, George. Please hold for our next question. Our next question comes from Erik Suppiger from JMP Securities. Please go ahead. Yeah, thanks for taking the question. First off, I want to just follow up on the last question about the about fiber. Can you, can you give us a some context around how you think that product, how big that product could become? Maybe you could compare it to some of your other products, or what, what kind of contribution could we anticipate? Then you talked about competition, using pricing to getting aggressive on pricing. What competitors are you seeing? Is it other players like like Ubiquiti, or is it more enterprise-centric custom- competitors, like a an HP or a Cisco? Eric, first one, on the Fiber, as I said, when we design the product, we focus on the mid-tier. I think for the first 12 to 18 months, our goal is to establish the product with that mid-tier segment, our, our existing install base, and go into situations where Cambium is already known for the quality and simplicity. Overall, you will not see us for the first 12 months, 18 months, to really go after very large installation. Opportunity-wise, fiber is going to be, I think, a sizable opportunity because government is also pushing in many government-sponsored programs, fiber. As we work with different states, some states are wireless-friendly, but some states are also fiber-friendly. Particularly if you look at Northeast, which has foliage and all that, they prefer fiber. That's why Cambium went towards convergence. That, Mr. Customer, you can use wireless, you can use fiber. We'll give you seamless single pane of glass to manage. We'll give you simplicity. That's our key message: Focus on your high-performance network, leave the Layer 1 wireless or fiber to us, and the simplicity. I think in terms of size of the opportunity, as our experience is, it always takes, you know, 4-5 quarters to establish traction, get the POC going, and then you have the acceleration phase, maybe after a year or 15 months or so. Fiber can be a, absolutely a substantial opportunity for Cambium, and it is in the PMP bucket. It's Point-to-Multipoint, so some customers will be wired, but some customers Point-to-Multipoint will come from wire. Your second question about competition on the enterprise side, no, it's not the low end. I think the. It's the mid-size enterprise class Wi-Fi providers who lost share to us. They became aggressive, and they also got more chips. I think, no, it is enterprise. Cambium is mid-tier enterprise class Wi-Fi. I hope that gives you color there. Down to your level is like a Cisco or an HP coming down to your level, or are they undercutting your pricing? No, I would not name anybody, but I think. Okay The mid-tier enterprise class players, those are the ones which compete with us. We saw that they, they've become aggressive, and I think for Cambium now, as we think through, especially, we are focused on only a few key verticals like hospitality, multi-dwelling units with the multifamily homes, retirement homes, student housing, and education. We'll continue to focus, keep bringing those APIs and application integration, make our solution complete, and, and be very superior in the outdoor setting, along with the indoor in these segments. That's our strategy, but very focused on mid-tier. Thank you. Thanks, Erik. Please hold for our next question. Our next question comes from Samik Chatterjee at JP Morgan. Please go ahead. Hi, good afternoon. This is Jimmy Chen, speaking on behalf of Samik Chatterjee. I wanted to ask that we've seen a slowdown in the macro environment impacting telcos. Now that we're going to the back half of the year, what are the biggest challenges you're seeing on a thematic level? For example, can we expect to see any improvement in the reduction of elevated inventory levels and extended lead times? Thanks. Jimmy, overall, when we talk about macro slowdown, in our case, I think we saw definitely slowdown in EMEA, in, in our deals, in our business. In North America, as I said, for the enterprise, we do, focus on multi-dwelling units, which is construction, new infrastructure, all of that. I think the interest rates did slow them down. In terms of other thematic things, I would say in some of the countries where we sell products, the exchange rate also impacts us. Not everywhere, but some of the countries where, the currency for them is high because we do sell in dollars. Those are the kind of key thematic things I will, I will say. Overall, the telecom slowdown you talk about, I think is very tied to mobility. When it comes to fixed wireless broadband, fixed wireless broadband actually is increasing because post-COVID, more people are stationary than moving, and everyone needs more bandwidth wherever they are. Fixed wireless broadband, apart from telecom angle, is actually going to be healthy. Mobility could be a different story. Okay, thank you. You mentioned telco customers, however, I'm curious about what are you seeing from non-telco customers? For our Fixed Wireless broadband, I think, by and large, we sell to mid-tier, Tier 2, Tier 3 service providers. So when you say telco, I'm assuming you're saying large carriers or large service providers. Generally, our business is very midstream for fixed wireless broadband. And for the enterprise side, we really don't sell very much to the telco or the large service providers. Most of our business is really those three segments in enterprise I mentioned, hospitality, multi-dwelling units, and education. Okay, thank you. Thanks, Jimmy. Please hold for our next question. Our next question comes from Tim Savageaux at Northland Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Hi, good afternoon. Actually, a pretty good follow-up to that last discussion. Question here, focus on the PMP segment. As you mentioned, 28 GHz as kind of a key driver, you know, of upside in the quarter, maybe in the, in the back half of the year, at least some early deployments. Those, you know, I would think might be with some of the larger carriers, right? I guess that, that's one question is, you know, to the extent we're talking about 28 GHz, are we talking more about, you know, Tier 1, Tier 2 type carriers? Are you seeing any differences in demand dynamics between that segment and your traditional, you know, smaller fixed wireless access? I'll follow- up from there. Yeah. Thanks, Tim. That's an excellent question, Tim. Let me give good color on that. 28 GHz is a 5G licensed frequency. By definition, the kind of service providers we are engaging are larger. Sometimes I may say Tier 2 service provider in our language, but they might be Tier 1 in their country. Your observation is right, the 28 GHz, the reason the deal size in 28 GHz is multiple times that of, you know, 5 GHz or 6 GHz, is because when somebody pays money for the license and they deploy 28 GHz, they also want faster deployment, faster monetization. Overall, I would say, yes, we are engaging larger service providers because it's a licensed frequency, which they have paid for, and deal size is much larger. Now we have also proven Cambium superiority. I think over the last 3, 4 quarters, we have done enough benchmarking, POCs, bake-offs with competition, that customers have realized that Cambium does have a very superior 5G Fixed solution. In many cases, Since it is a 5G, in many cases, we showed interoperability with competition and showed superiority, and that's how we won some of the, some of the key deals. My sense is that not only we had record quarter in Q2 for 28 GHz, it will continue that momentum, and it also gives a good barrier to entry in that country for other service providers. Overall, overall, a good, good business, which will grow as 5G Fixed grows, and we have a very good solution. Great. If I could follow- up on that, I don't know if you can take a shot at quantifying how meaningful the 5G fixed or the 28 GHz business is now. I assume it's still a small part of PMP, but feel free to comment on that. I guess the real question is, you know, as you look at your growth drivers in PMP, 5G and 28 GHz, plus 5G fixed, fiber, and maybe the traditional fixed wireless access, anywhere from 3.5 GHz to 6 GHz to 60 GHz, how would you rank order those, at least in terms of maybe size of pipeline or, or growth potential going forward? Understanding that percentage-wise, you know, some of your smaller pieces will probably grow faster, but which one of those are you most excited about, I guess. Sure. Over the, for the company? I would say I'm very excited about the potential of 6 GHz, because that, there is a large install base Cambium has, in hundreds of millions dollar type of install base worldwide in 5 GHz. All of those customers know how 5 GHz behave, and 6 GHz behaves very similarly. You will see a good, graceful migration and adoption for all those folks who are looking for that, about 1.2 GHz of clean, noise-free spectrum, they will move to 6 GHz. I would say that's probably number one opportunity, followed by 28 GHz, which we now are seeing it's kind of growing well, and with those, with those service providers, larger service providers. I think followed by probably fiber, because fiber will take a little time to gestate for us as well. As I said earlier, it takes 3 to 4 quarters. Fiber will offer a good TAM with the simplicity we are bringing with, and customer feedback is very positive. Then I would put 60 GHz, then I would put 3 GHz, the CBRS 3.5 GHz, in almost in that order, based on the maturity of the product, based on the proof points we have and based on the size, market size. I hope that gives you clarity. It sure does. Really appreciate that. Last one for me, if I can. To the extent that, you know, 5 GHz, 3 GHz or 5 GHz transitioning to 6 GHz is, you know, the top opportunity, how would you assess the competitive environment here? Looks like, you know, some of these smaller kind of startup competitors are gaining more and more traction. How is that changing here, from a competitive standpoint, from Cambium's perspective? Cambium's strategy for last many, many years has been really focused on economics of the product, deliver fantastic performance, and so very superior price performance, but always focus on economics. We feel that the industry standard chips, whether it's Wi-Fi 6 chips or whether it's 5G chips, they keep building algorithms and feature sets like noise cancellation, multi, massive, MU-MIMO, beamforming. Doing it in a proprietary manner is never a winning strategy. It may be short- term, but these industry standard chips provide the economic base, and we are seeing that with 28 GHz platform. 5G is bringing a lot of those algorithmic and features with these chips, it becomes commercialized, economical. Cambium's strategy is to design products which are economical, high volume, serve the broad mid-tier segments versus very high-end performance and very expensive. I think, yes, there are companies which will do that, but that's their business strategy. We have shipped 14 million radios worldwide in the last 10 years towards thousands of networks with that economic strategy. I think 6 GHz will bring such performance with noise-free environment that we are very excited. Then 28 GHz bringing the license frequency, 5G, where we have a leadership product. I think PMP has turned around. It took us 3 quarters of a lot of hard work. It has turned around, and I think now you'll see PMP grow, which is a very key pillar of the company. Take our next question, Amber? One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from Paul Essi at William K. Woodruff. Please go ahead. Thank you. Good afternoon, and thanks for taking my question. Most of my questions have been answered. I did have one question on the, on the 6 GHz. There's been, you know, obviously a lot of anticipation, you know, both on, you know, customers and Wall Street, and I'm sure yourself. Assuming, I think you mentioned October is your best guess at when this thing may be able to go commercial. I know you have some out in the field already, but how are you prepared? Do you have a lot of finished inventory? Do you have parts inventory? Maybe give us a little color on how quickly you can ramp this thing, because I know the demand is there. Yes. Anything you can provide, that'd be great. Thanks, Paul. Thanks for the question. Andrew has been very supportive as we were building this new product. You know, our inventories and spend, all that, we are pretty careful. With the new products, we look at all that. We are ready. We procured the right chips, we have the right inventory, and also, as we work with the customers, some customers are more aggressive in deploying access point on the tower so that when FCC approves it, they can get going with commercial offer to their customers. FCC has given to those 25 POCs we are doing, they have given the trial licenses, so everyone can get their feet wet with a less number of subscribers, make sure they can manage. Overall, our feeling is September, October timeframe. Again, we know we can't guarantee, we get government's work, but our feeling is that based on some of the work going on in FCC, some of the testing they are doing, some of the trials and pilots going on, that's our reasonable guess at this point. We are ready. We will have a very good first-mover advantage. We probably have the largest footprint. We are also using latest chips to design the 6 GHz network. Our product will be not just differentiated, but also a significant first-mover advantage in 6 GH z. Right. You know, in terms of, in terms of revenue, I would qualify to say that, that we're not, we're not counting on a big ramp-up of revenues in, in the fourth quarter of this year. It'll be somewhere in the single- digits, but we do expect the bigger impact to be next year in terms of, in terms of distributors, stocking inventory and, you know, getting product out into the marketplace. There will be impact, positive impact in Q4, but not a huge ramp, and the bigger ramp will be next year. Great. Thanks very much. That was helpful. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from George Notter at Jefferies LLC. Please go ahead. Hi, guys. Thanks a lot for letting me ask another one. I, I realize it's getting late here. I'm, I'm kind of shocked that no one's asked about the CEO transition so far. I guess I'd love to hear from Morgan, why do you think joining Cambium is, is, is, is the right play for you, and, and what, what kind of opportunity do you see here? Then for Atul, you know, just listening to the call, Atul, you don't sound like a guy that's gonna kind of step into the background and, you know, retire from the company and, and, and just be a more traditional board member. You, you kind of sound like you're going to be very involved here. I'm sort of, you know, wondering, you know, how you think about that and your role in the company going forward. Thanks, guys. Yeah. By the George, I'm going to give Morgan the floor very soon, but let me share some thoughts. First of all, I'm very pleased to see Morgan with me. He brings very good industry knowledge, broadband knowledge. He brings very good channel knowledge, operations knowledge about our communications business. He also brings, in my opinion, very good thinking. I think we are. We, every company goes through growth phase, change, new ideas, and I'll be working very closely. In fact, last few days, we've been working very closely. You will see a very graceful and very solid transition. Nothing will drop. You will see him and me, well, collaborating, working together. The last point I also mentioned to Morgan is, I'll introduce him to all customers, all channels, so you will see a very methodic and thoughtful things. With that, I'm gonna pass it to Morgan. Yeah, thank, thanks, George. I see this as an opportunity for me to move back into the wireless industry, which is something I'm very passionate about, to bring some of my experience to the company. What I see about the company is a company made up of great people with really good technology that I can help lead to higher higher heights. It's not such a large company that it can't be agile and adaptive, and that's something that I had wanted as my next adventure. In terms of the working between myself and Atul, I think it's what he said, we're trying for a very collaborative transition. Today, being my first day, he's obviously handling these calls, having the background and the history. We'll be handing off customer contacts and relationships throughout, over the next few weeks. Then he will be a standard Board member that I will have as a resource to bounce ideas off of and understand history from. 10 years of that is fantastic, and I, I welcome that type of relationship. I will say, George, you asked a great question. I'll say, I have no doubt in my mind that under Morgan's leadership, Cambium is gonna go a new height and a new level of growth. My goal is that we are gonna work for our shareholders, our customers, our employees, and continue for Cambium to be a trailblazer, innovator, and a good, solid business performance. Great. Thank you. Thanks. We'll take one more question. One moment for our next question. Our last question comes from Erik Suppiger at JMP Securities. Go ahead. Actually, it's just a follow-up from the last one. Can you talk about the timing of the search for bringing Morgan on? When, when did you start that search? What was the recruitment process like? Then you talked about a program to reduce for cost reductions. Will there be headcount reductions as well? Let me first of all, we don't comment on any of the recruitment, any of that. Erik, I will not go there, but I'll pass it to Andrew. Andrew can give a little more color on the cost reduction. Yeah, thanks for the question. We are, we do have headcount reductions, both in terms of employees as well as contractors. When you look at it in total, it's about 10% of the workforce. As we said, there's a total of, of $14 million annualized cost savings. About 95-10% of that is headcount related, and, and about 4%-5%of it is non-headcount, related to contract, you know, contracts and R&D type projects that are being delayed or deferred into next year. Not, you know, that we believe that we are going to be a stronger company as a result of this. It's we are gonna be a very much agile company and looking forward to success in the coming quarters ahead. Very good. Thank you. During Q3 2023, Cambium Networks will be meeting with investors virtually on August 9th, at the Oppenheimer Annual Internet Communications Conference.
