5G CPE Information and FAQ

Definition: The full name of 5G CPE is 5G Customer Premise Equipment, which is used to repeat the operator's 5G network signals, convert them into Wi-Fi signals and share them with other terminals (such as mobile phones and IoT devices) to use the network.
 
Accurate functional parameters, sales price, sales time, and sales channels are subject to official release.

1. Functional issues

1.1 Why is the 5G speed of CPE so fast?
OPPO 5G CPE adopts the latest generation of Snapdragon X55 5G chip, combined with OPPO software optimization, including supplementary uplink (SUL) 5G carrier aggregation, HPUE, SRS Switching and other technologies, can achieve the ultimate 5G speed.
 
1.2 What is the difference between providing a network to the device through the CPE and connecting the device to a 5G network?
Provide network through CPE, which is connected with other devices through Wi-Fi;
Other smart devices do not necessarily support all 5G or cellular networks. Through CPE access, they can not only be compatible with various smart home and IoT devices, but also take full advantage of the features of 5G large bandwidth and low latency .
 
1.3 How does CPE connect to other devices?
Provide network through CPE, which is connected with other smart terminals through Wi-Fi;
PE CPE can also connect IoT devices through IoT series (BLE, ZigBee, Zwave, etc.)

1.4 Will 5G CPE consume more traffic?
The consumption of traffic is related to the application used, regardless of the type of device;
Under the same task, such as watching a 1080P movie, 5G CPE and other connection methods consume the same traffic.
 
1.5 Will CPE help speed up?
CPE is to convert 5G network to Wi-Fi and provide it to other devices. The network speed of the device depends on the device's own upper throughput limit, not entirely on CPE.
For devices supporting Wi-Fi 6, OPPO's 5G CPE will provide faster network speeds. At the same time, because of the existence of Wi-Fi 6 and MU-MIMO technologies, other traditional terminals will also benefit from greater network capacity and efficiency.
For OPPO mobile phone users, we will have supporting technical solutions to achieve the gain of the Internet speed of OPPO mobile phones, so that OPPO users can enjoy a more extreme network experience and achieve the effect of 1 + 1 greater than 2.
 
1.6 Can CPE be used in 4G environment?
OPPO 5G CPE also supports 4G network input mode, so it can be used normally in 4G network environment.
 

2. Product features / parameter details related issues

2.1 What is the value of CPE for Chinese consumers?
PE CPE brings a wireless broadband experience that breaks through field limitations, can provide complete network coverage for the home, and fills the limitations of optical fiber in certain scenarios.
At present, the value of CPE is not fully reflected. As more 5G applications mature, there will be wider use scenarios, and CPE will show more and more value, and it is more than just seeing it now.
 
2.2 What is the difference between CPE and router?
PE CPE is Customer Premise Equipment, which is called user terminal equipment, which is the equipment that the user's front end directly connects with the operator
Compared with traditional routers, 5G CPE access is 5G network air interface access also supports wired broadband, while router access is wired broadband or fiber
 
2.3 Is 5G CPE designed to replace fiber?
The two are not a substitution relationship, but a complementary relationship.
 

3. Business plan / product plan related issues

3.1 Does the research and development of 5G CPE products mean that OPPO will develop more business in the future?
Technically, we hope that 5G CPE can help users break through the barriers of the scene and realize the experience of integration of everything.

3.2 Will the price of OPPO 5G CPE be superior to Huawei's?
Product prices, please look forward to the official commercial release.
 
3.3 Will CPE and IoT converge in the future?
The way and rhythm of getting through is currently being planned, and everyone will be pleasantly surprised when it is officially commercialized.
