Wireless CPE
Outdoor CPE, point-to-point and sector antennas for ISPs and WISPs.
Wireless CPE (customer premise equipment) connects a location to a service provider over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint radio link. These devices are common in Kenyan WISP networks that deliver internet over long distances without fibre.
Point-to-point vs point-to-multipoint
- Point-to-point links connect two locations, often with directional antennas for long distance.
- Point-to-multipoint uses a sector antenna at the tower serving many CPE devices.
Popular choices include Ubiquiti airMAX radios and TP-Link Pharos CPE devices. Frequency band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) and antenna gain are the key specifications to compare.
