1.1 Product Overview
5G CPE BOX is a 5G BOX product designed for in-vehicle applications. It can convert 5G wireless
signals into Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.1 and Wi-Fi 6 signals, providing stable and high-speed 5G access
for in-vehicle devices and passengers.
The product integrates the latest generation Qualcomm Snapdragon SDX55 baseband chip, complies
with 3GPP Release 15 standard, and can support independent networking (SA) and non-independent
networking (NSA) network deployments. Covering the 5G commercial network frequency bands of
major global regions and operators, it is compatible with the 3G/4G multiple networks to meet Mobile
scenario requirements. The product also integrates the latest generation Qualcomm Wi-Fi 6 chip
QCA6391, adopts 2x2 MIMO, and supports 2.4G and 5G working simultaneously. The maximum Wi-Fi
download rate can reach 1.8Gbps, effectively improve the multi-user access experience.
The product supports hardware and software watchdogs, which can adapt to input voltage fluctuations
of 8V~16V. 5G CPE BOX uses a dedicated in-vehicle Ethernet port, which is more reliable and stable in
a vibration environment and can be installed by screwing, fixing with adhesive, or sticking on the glass.
5G CPE BOX adopts a built-in radiator design, it can work normally at -30℃~ 70℃and can work
stably for a long time in the complex environment of the vehicle.
