5G outdoor cellular CPEs

A Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) is a high-gain, fixed wireless access device designed to be mounted outdoors (like on a roof or pole). It uses powerful directional antennas to capture 4G LTE and/or 5G cellular signals, even in challenging or remote locations, and converts that signal into high-speed internet for a secure network inside a building.

The Inseego Mobile App is used for installation and device management. It provides intuitive, step-by-step setup instructions and includes a site survey feature to help you determine the optimal location and orientation to mount your device for the strongest signal.

Inseego's outdoor CPEs are designed for sustained gigabit-class bandwidth. For example, some models can achieve download speeds of up to 5 Gbps and provide network coverage up to 20 km from a cellular tower (range and speeds vary by model, carrier network, and atmospheric conditions).

All Inseego cellular routers, CPEs, and hotspots support Inseego Connect, a remote cloud-based device management solution. This platform allows administrators to easily install, remotely monitor network performance and data usage, configure alerts, and troubleshoot devices across their entire network.

Yes, Inseego's outdoor CPEs offer Dual SIM capabilities and support automatic cellular failover. This feature ensures business continuity by automatically switching the internet connection from a failed primary link (like a wired connection) to the secure cellular connection provided by the CPE.

Yes. Features like the Dual SIM slots and support for all major carriers provide flexible, carrier-agnostic connectivity. This allows you to seamlessly switch between carriers or use different carriers for redundancy, ensuring you stay connected no matter where your business operates.

Yes. Inseego outdoor CPEs are rated IP67, which means they are weatherproof and dust-tight, with high temperature range support, ensuring durability and sustained performance in harsh outdoor environments.

Inseego's outdoor CPEs support passive Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). This allows the device to receive both power and data over a single Ethernet cable connected to the indoor PoE injector or gateway, simplifying the outdoor installation.

Our outdoor CPE uses high-gain directional antennas that are much larger and more powerful than indoor ones. This focused connection reduces signal loss (called attenuation), increases the usable bandwidth, and helps maintain a stable link even as network traffic fluctuates.

The best location is typically on a roof or a pole with a clear, unobstructed line-of-sight to the nearest cellular base station (cell tower). Avoid obstructions like large trees, buildings, or metal structures, which can block the signal. Higher is generally better for clearer reception.

You can use five primary methods:

1. Online maps: Use platforms like CellMapper or carrier coverage maps (Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.).
2. Mobile apps: Use tools like Network Cell Info Lite or OpenSignal to track nearby towers and signal strength.
3. Service provider: Consult your carrier for precise tower locations and personalized advice.
4. Crowdsourced data: Check platforms like Ookla Speedtest for real-world coverage data.
5. Community forums: Seek anecdotal tower location information from online groups.
