We’ve all experienced those frustrating moments when your Wi-Fi does not reach every room in the house or every corner at the office because the Wi-Fi signal is too weak. These areas are often referred to as blind spots.



However, for this to work, a plug point is needed. But what happens is there if there aren’t any connection points to plug the network cable into? These are especially true for remote office and remote site work setups, where fixed cables are not very efficient.


This is where the 5G CPE routers come in handy.



What is a 5G CPE Router?



A 5G CPE router is a type of 5G terminal equipment. It receives 5G signal from the operator's base station, and then converts it into Wi-Fi or wired signal, allowing more local devices (mobile phones, tablets, computers) to access the internet.



In turn, 5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. 5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices.





5G wireless technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra-low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users. Higher performance and improved efficiency empower new user experiences and connects new industries.



Simply put, a 5G CPE Router is specially designed to take advantage of the latest 5G technology, in order to boost and improve your home or office network.



What are the Benefits of Using a 5G CPE Router?



1. High Speed

A 5G CPE router typically supports a 200MHz bandwidth and carrier aggregation technology. As a result, the 5G theoretical peak download speed is doubled, up to 3.6Gbps. In addition, the theoretical peak upload speed of 5G is as high as 2.5Gbps.





2. Robust Connection

5G CPE Routers support plenty of frequency bands, up to 11 5G bands. Taking into account the high frequency and high speed of 5G TDD band and the low frequency coverage of 5G FDD band, they must meet the demand of operator networks worldwide. In addition to 5G bands, these routers also support the full range of 4G and LTE bands.



3. Portability / Mobility

5G CPE Routers, considering the powerful signals they put out, are very space efficient. They are typically the same size as your regular drinking mug. More so, because they do not rely much on wires, using these routers will certainly reduce space clutter and setup.
