Indoor CPE offers cost-effective hardware and self-installation capabilities, facilitating rapid market entry and economical rollouts. However, it faces challenges with indoor signal attenuation, leading to coverage, throughput, and network capacity challenges, the latter of which translate into higher unitary network costs.
Outdoor CPE provides superior signal reception, higher data speeds, and extended coverage range when compared to indoor CPE. It enables providers to serve more households per cell, potentially reducing overall network costs per subscriber. The trade-offs include higher initial hardware expenses and the potential for requiring professional installation, which increases deployment cost and hampers deployment agility.
Through-Window CPE is a hybrid solution that combines the benefits of both indoor and outdoor CPE for 5G Fixed Wireless Access. It typically consists of an outdoor antenna connected to an indoor module, offering improved signal quality and higher data rates compared to indoor CPE, while maintaining the cost-effectiveness and ease of installation associated with self-installable solutions.
