5G fixed wireless broadband

A 5G CPE or router connects a fixed site to the operator network, then supplies the premises through Ethernet, Wi-Fi or both.

Check signal quality, power availability and cable routes before choosing the installation position.

Cellular access at a fixed site

Use cellular as the main broadband connection or as a backup to a fixed line. Check the site checklist before choosing the CPE position and local network setup.

  • Primary broadband for homes, branches and temporary sites
  • Backup WAN behind an existing gateway or firewall

Indoor CPE or external antennas?

Start with signal readings at the intended indoor position. If an antenna needs a different location, choose a router with compatible external antenna connections and plan the cable route before installation.

An external antenna does not make an indoor router weatherproof. For an outdoor installation, check the enclosure rating, operating temperature and power requirements in the model specifications. See the external antenna guide for connector and cable checks.
