This CPE (customer premises equipment) device is designed to sit on the exterior of a home or business building in order to maximise signal reception inside, particularly for mmWave frequencies. It has an IP45 waterproof rating and can withstand temperatures of -40°C-55°C. The device also supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) and has one 5Gbps port and one SIM slot.
The DWP-1020 5G device was recognised as a CES 2020 Innovation Award Honouree.
