Full indoor coverage with NPP CPE - AP 2 • A new approach for indoor coverage: NPP CPE-AP • Place by the window • Pick up the Wi-Fi signal from the outdoor • Retransmit it indoors • High power Wi-Fi radio: • Tx power - 25dbm (for indoor and outdoor) • Similar range as with the USB CPE (WCPE-24HP-USB) • Kit will include: • Window mount • 5dbi antenna • Optional PoE adaptor WCPE-24DZ-SR
NPP CPE-AP Use cases (1) 3 • Most basic use case: NPP CPE-AP as bridge • Still two virtual Wi-Fi interfaces on the CPE-AP • The CPE-AP acts as a “bump in the wire” • All user’s MAC addresses are visible to the operator • Sometimes required by the regulator • Provides control to the operator on the service usage
NPP CPE-AP Use cases (2) 4 • Case 2: CPE-AP in Router mode • NAT and firewall function between indoor and outdoor SSIDs • Router can hide multiple users behind it • Hiding their MAC addresses from the metro network • NPP CPE-AP can perform 8021.x Radius authentication
Wire Line Option 5 • Wire line connectivity is also available for both modes: • Router and bridge mode • Has advantage over USB based CPE: • Doesn’t require a driver • No compatibility issues with end user’s PC • No profile definition issues with end user’s PC • Can be connected with longer cables • USB cable length is limited to 5-12meters
Considerations with CPE-AP 6 • The CPE-AP has some limitations • The usage of a single frequency repeater halves the capacity of the base station • It is strongly recommended not to allow wireless LAN traffic in the end user’s side • Will eat up the base station capacity • By default, the CPE-AP blocks wireless LAN traffic on the LAN side.
