Amazing AirFiber---5G Outdoor CPE Aurora O2 Pro

Traditionally, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) CPEs (Customer-Premises Equipment) come in two main form factors: indoor gateways and outdoor receivers. Indoor gateways offer an integrated form factor with a built-in WiFi router. The indoor form factor is the most common in the market, enabling self-installation, short time-to-market, and lower solution costs. Aurora C082 has high antenna gains with 7–11 dBi. On the other hand, outdoor receivers require a complementing indoor router with WiFi to distribute the signal. Outdoor CPEs offer high spectral efficiency (enabling high capacity and speeds), long life-cycle, and higher longevity with customers.

One of the keys to Omantel’s success with 5G FWA is that its offering relies heavily on the use of outdoor CPE, which have 2-3 times better performance than indoor CPEs. The outdoor CPEs are installed by Omantel’s professional service delivery team to ensure optimal performance from day one. Indoor CPEs are also utilized in a targeted way in areas that have good radio performance.

Outdoor CPEs have a much higher spectral efficiency than indoor CPEs, enabling two to three times more FWA connections per site.

A correctly installed outdoor CPE is directed to the best serving cell, leading to a lower link budget path loss and improving the utilization of mid-band and mmWave TDD spectrum. The large gain in signal quality results from the 10–15 dB difference in antenna gain and the avoidance of another 10–15 dB in wall/window attenuation losses suffered by indoor devices.
