In previous discussions, we have extensively covered Fixed Wireless Access Customer Premises Equipment (FWA CPEs) that utilize outdoor antennas. Traditionally, these solutions involved connecting outdoor antennas to indoor routers. However, POYNTING’s technology has since evolved, resulting in a more efficient solution known as ePoynt.
ePoynt solutions combine highly broadband omni or high-gain antennas with a “router agnostic” enclosure. These innovative devices have gained popularity due to their ease of installation and flexibility. Here’s why ePoynt stands out:
Despite the innovations and advantages of ePoynt, the cost of these integrated CPEs can still be prohibitive, limiting their widespread adoption in FWA offerings.
The ultimate FWA CPE would involve a seamless integration between the Router Company and the Antenna Company (POYNTING, of course!). This “tightly coupled” integrated CPE can be achieved through the following process:
This integration brings several significant advantages:
By adopting this approach, we can significantly enhance the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and market penetration of FWA solutions. The collaboration between POYNTING and router manufacturers promises a future where FWA CPEs are not only more affordable but also more accessible and reliable for widespread use.
