Although it has come into the 5G era, 4G CPE still makes a difference in many areas using 4G. In this article, we will introduce a series of V-SOL 4G CPE devices to help you learn what features exactly 4G CPE can bring you!
Part I. What is 4G CPE?
4G CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) is a terminal device that can transfer 4G signals into WiFi signals to provide hardware devices with networks.
Part II. Introduction of V-SOL 4G CPE
Here we will introduce 4G CPE in terms of three types including LTE Cat4 CPE, LTE Cat6 CPE, and outdoor CPE.
Type 1: 4G LTE CAT4 CPE
There are three types of LTE CAT4 CPE. They are almost the same but some performances are different.
XNC1841
With 1WAN/LAN port, 1 LAN port, and 1 input port, the XNC1841 4G LTE Cat4 WiFi Router provides a SIM card slot and 2×2 MIMO internal antennas. Its speed can reach up to 150Mbps. It supports 802.11 b/g/n and accesses the Internet through LTE FDD/LTE TDD/WCDMA. Multiplayer gaming, HD streaming, video chatting, etc. can be carried out at the same time. It’s a good choice for the home/office/service industry.
XRC5241
The indoor CPE XRC5241 takes 2×2 external antennas and supports 4G network backup. The speed can reach 50Mbps of uplink and 300Mbps of the downlink. It enables 32 devices to connect, which is really suitable for the application of Smart Homes. It also supports SIM card insertion that’s easy and convenient to use. In addition, the CPE router is reliable in that it offers VPN pass-through support (PPTP, L2TP & IPSec), Firewall, and Local & Remote management, making it fit for ATMs, banks, and chain stores.
XRC5242
This CPE has 2 external WiFi antennas and 2 external LTE antennas, which increase and enlarge the signal coverage. The built-in advanced WiFi chipset and OFDM ensure stability and allow connecting to multiple devices on the same network. The device also can back up the 4G/RJ45(WAN) network. The Ethernet will be connected through DSL or PON CPE once the 4G network goes down. Thus, it’s appropriate to adopt this CPE in video conferences and business presentations.
Type 2: 4G LTE CAT6 CPE
XKC7241
It’s an advanced LTE CPE with great performance. It takes 4×4 MIMO LTE internal antennas and 2×2 MIMO WiFi internal antennas, which leads the speed to a high level. The voice port works for VoLTE or VOIP. Besides, there are USIM, standard SIM slot 3FF, and auto-MDI/MDIX.
XNC1842
The LTE CAT6 CPE XNC1842 has 1 WAN/LAN port and 3 LAN ports with 1 micro USB port. There are 4×2 MIMO internal antennas. With this CPE router, you can enjoy the dual-band WiFi 5 network (2.4GHz&5GHz) with a speed of up to 300Mbps.
Type 3: Outdoor 4G LTE CPE
XKC7243
With 1 RJ45, 10/100/1000Mmps POE, and 1 SIM slot, the 4G CPE outdoor router designed in industrial grade adopts 4×4 MIMO and makes the speed up to 300Mbps. With features such as IP65 waterproof, shock-resistant, and lightning protection, it can ensure the quality of wireless communication in different outdoor environments. It’s developed to accept 4G signals in weak areas, which can be installed on the wall or pole mounted.
XRC5243
This outdoor CPE device has a LAN/WAN port, RJ11 port, 1 micro USB, Nano-SIM slot, and 1 DC input port. It can supply 12V/5V power. The LED indicator can indicate signal strength which is convenient for users to find the best position to get a better 4G signal. It supports automatic APN matching according to USIM, cell locking, VPN, WEbUI, and TR069/FOTA management.
Part III. Is it possible to remotely manage 4G CPE？
The remote management of 4G CPE is achievable through V-SOL VCCM a cloud management platform with Mobile APP service for home users of CPE including wireless routers, ONT, 4G CPE, etc. It allows users to open services, self-diagnose, upgrade push, monitor traffic, and so on.
Features of V-SOL VCCM:
• Deployed on Linux, no extra cost for operating system and database, reducing the cost of building the platform for customers.
• Support cloud platform deployment and one-click rapid deployment.
• Build a smart life App of V-SOL and support customer self-service.
• Improve customer service efficiency with the VCCM APP which supports customer self-service, the majority of equipment problems can be solved without a home inspection.
• Support MQTT protocol, V-SOL CPE including a wireless router, ONT, 4G CPE, etc. can access the open third-party IoT(Internet of Things) platforms such as Doodle and Huawei’s IoT platform, based on MQTT protocol.
