The FWC-133-3550 from Blinq Networks is a Category 12/13 Dual-Band Outdoor Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). It has been designed to provide connectivity to base stations in the 3.5/5 GHz bands and supports TDD-LTE bands 48, 42/43, and 46. This 3GPP Release 12-compliant radio has a built-in high gain directional antenna that allows expansion of the LTE signal coverage and an RF front-end with 2 transmitter and 4 receiver channels. It can be used as a router or a bridge (upon request) and consists of a 4x4 MIMO that uses 2CC carrier aggregation (20 MHz each), resulting in a total bandwidth of up to 40 MHz (uplink) and 80 MHz (downlink).
The FWC-133-3550 utilizes a dynamic host configuration protocol that can serve up to 253 clients at a time, IPv4, IPv6, and IPv4/v6 dual-stack network management, and allows for VPN pass-through in the NAT mode. This CPE has a built-in web server for web-based configuration and uses password-protected access for secure remote monitoring and control. It can be configured and updated via FOTA with switchable dual firmware features. This CPE delivers a data rate of 440 Mbps (downlink) and 30 Mbps (uplink) and has a receiver sensitivity of -96 dBm. This radio is available in an IP65-rated protected enclosure. It requires an AC supply from 100 to 240 V and also supports power-over-Ethernet for outdoor WAN port (802.3af).
