What is 5G CPE

5G CPE is a type of 5G terminal equipment. It receives the 5G signal sent by the operator's base station, and then converts it into a Wi-Fi signal or a wired signal, allowing more local devices (mobile phones, tablets, computers) to access the Internet. The full name of CPE is Customer Premise Equipment, and the industry likes to call it "Customer Terminal Equipment". In fact, Premise means "premise, hypothesis", and a more accurate translation should be "customer front-end equipment". The so-called "front" means that it always stands "in front" of the user equipment. Its function is to convert mobile communication signals (4G, 5G, etc.) or wired broadband signals into local LAN signals for use by user equipment.

The 5G CPE on the market is very similar to the "optical modem" function of our home fiber broadband. In essence, the "light cat" is a type of CPE. The difference between "optical modem" and 5G CPE is that the "optical modem" connects up to the operator's optical fiber access network equipment, while 5G CPE connects to the 5G base station.

5G CPE products all use the same or similar 5G chips as 5G mobile phones, have strong 5G connectivity, support SA/NSA networking, and are compatible with 4G/5G signals. In terms of speed, 5G CPE and "optical cat" are comparable. But 5G CPE is an enhanced version of "Optical Cat, whose advantage lies in its mobility and flexibility.

 If CPE is just to strengthen the Wi-Fi signal, then it is meaningless, after all, Wi-Fi routers can also do it. Its real power is that it can perform secondary relay on mobile phone signals (such as 5G/4G signals). It turns the received 5G/4G signal into a Wi-Fi signal and provides it to the devices around you. CPE is used to re-relay the operator's network signal.

Although operators have carried out extensive deployment of 5G base stations so far, and have achieved considerable results, the data collection places in the industry are often located in remote mountainous areas and reservoirs, which makes 5G signal coverage relatively weak. Unstable. The signal is relayed twice through the 5G CPE industrial gateway to expand the coverage of the 5G network, so that the monitoring area is covered by the 5G network, and it is convenient for data collection and transmission.

5G CPE function

5G CPE industrial gateway has the following functions besides 5G signal relay function:

has stronger computing power, fast speed, strong functions, supports edge computing, and also has face recognition and video in-depth analysis capabilities.

 Support built-in lithium battery power supply, support 4 POE ports, can provide stable power supply for external devices. The unique built-in battery design and peripheral power supply capability can provide continuous power to the device in the event of an unexpected power failure.

Industrial-grade metal casing, durable and reliable in quality; high EMC electromagnetic compatibility, stable work in strong electromagnetic environment, passing EMC level test to ensure transmission stability, super moisture-proof, lightning-proof, and anti-electromagnetic interference ability to adapt to various harsh environments.
