What is 5G CPE? The functional characteristics of 5G industrial CPE

　　What is CPE? First of all, to understand it literally, it is the abbreviation of "Customer Premise Equipment", which translates to "Customer Terminal Equipment".

　　 The emergence of 5G networks seems to have brought new solutions to the problem of fiber to the home. After all, the ultra-high speed of the 5G network has approached or even exceeded the current home broadband network speed. Operators no longer need to pull out the optical fiber for users. They only need to equip the family with a 5G CPE device to provide high-speed Internet access services for the family.

　　 Because 5G CPE equipment is equivalent to a 5G router. It converts the 5G network signal into a WiFi signal for transmission on one side, and uploads the data received by the WiFi network into a 5G network signal on the other side. In this way, even if our smartphones and laptops do not support 5G networks, we can still experience the high-speed network brought by 5G.

　　 After the 5G network is built, users do not need to pull optical fibers. As long as the 5G CPE equipment is placed in a place with a good 5G signal, it can provide high-speed Internet connections for TVs, mobile phones, computers, and smart home devices at home.

　　 Combining microwave technology to close the digital divide

　　 The combination of 5G and microwave technology can benefit rural and remote areas even more. Using microwaves for data transmission, the straight-line distance in the air can reach 30-50 kilometers, but the premise is that there is no building block. Microwave can be used in rural and remote areas. For example, building microwave transmission base stations on the top of two mountains can receive 5G network signals in villages and towns between the two mountains. Operators can build very few base stations and can transmit 5G high-speed networks through microwave technology.

　　 Rural and township families in remote areas only need to install 5G CPE equipment to receive the 5G signal transmitted by the base station, so that their families can enjoy high-speed Internet services. In this way, operators do not need to pull optical fibers to every household in remote areas, but only need to build 5G microwave base stations, combined with 5G CPE equipment to provide high-speed Internet and close the digital divide.
