UK networking hardware vendor Cambium Networks has entered administration and warned customers its cloud management platform may shut down by 1st October. The company laid off 260 staff — 53.6% of its workforce — without severance pay and has ceased production of Wi-Fi access points, firewalls, and switches. Administrators are attempting to salvage the fixed wireless broadband business whilst selling off existing stock. Cambium is urging enterprise customers to migrate from cnMaestro Cloud to its on-premises management software immediately. However, the software is only available under a 90-day trial licence with reduced functionality after expiration. The company's troubles follow years of financial difficulties, including unreliable financial reports for 2022 and 2023, subsequent NASDAQ delisting, and warnings about its ability to continue operations.

When a company enters administration, it means that it is unable to pay expenses, debts, or other liabilities, according to SquareUp.com. Companies House adds: "When a company goes into administration, they have entered a legal process (under the Insolvency Act 1986) with the aim of achieving one of the statutory objectives of an administration. "This may be to rescue a viable business that is insolvent due to cashflow problems. "An appointment of an administrator (a licensed insolvency practitioner) will be made by directors, a creditor or the court to fulfil the administration process." A statutory moratorium is put in place once a company enters administration, giving it "breathing space" to allow for financial restructuring plans to be drawn up free from creditor enforcement actions. A company can continue to trade while in administration, but daily management and control are handed over to the administrators. Companies House continues: "Within 8 weeks it is the administrators' role to formulate administration proposals. "Creditors are then asked to vote by a decision procedure to approve the administrators' proposals. "If the administration involves a sale of all or part of the company's business, the proceeds (after the costs of the procedure) will be distributed to creditors in a statutory order of priority." Administration will end automatically after 12 months unless the administrator asks the court or creditors for an extension. Through administration, a company can be: * Rescued and passed back to the directors * Enter liquidation * Be dissolved Recommended reading: Other UK companies that have closed or entered administration/liquidation in 2026.
