Full indoor coverage with NPP CPE - AP
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)
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)
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
5
Wire Line Option
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
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.
