CPE, known as Customer Premise Equipment, is widely used in the 4G era, and its performance has been upgraded in the 5G era.
What is CPE for?
Extend the coverage of Wi-Fi Signal
As we all know, Wi-Fi signal can only cover a certain distance. This is why your mobile equipment have no Wi-Fi connection when you are in some blind corners or beyond this range. At this time, we can use a CPE to extend the coverage of Wi-Fi signal without deploying network cable.
Convert cellular signal to Wi-Fi Signal
CPE is a kind of larger size User Equipment (UE), it receives signal from operator's base station, and then converts it into Wi-Fi or wired signal, allowing more local mobile devices to access the internet. So whether you are on a mobile phone, a laptop or a tablet, a smart display or a smart TV, as long as it is a Wi-Fi enabled terminal device, you can match it by connecting to a CPE.
Benefits of using CPE:
Reliable connection
A CPE has stronger signal transmission and reception capabilities than a cell phone. So in some rural and suburban areas, CPE can receive the signal while the cell phone can not.
Flexible installation
CPE is divided into indoor models (transmitting power: 500-1000mW) and outdoor models (transmitting power is up to 2000mW), which can be adapted to more demanding environments.
Inexpensive construction
CPE supports multiple devices to access the Internet at the same time without deploying network cables. In the way, CPE can be used in rural areas, towns, hospitals, organizations, factories, campuses, etc.
