This document describes a NetPoint Pro CPE-AP device that can provide indoor WiFi coverage by picking up an outdoor WiFi signal through a window-mounted antenna and retransmitting it indoors. The CPE-AP has a high-power 25dbm radio and can operate as a bridge to pass traffic or as a router to hide users behind NAT and provide separate indoor and outdoor SSIDs. It also supports a wired option to avoid issues with USB connections. However, using the CPE-AP as a wireless repeater halves the capacity of the base station, so it is recommended to block wireless LAN traffic on the indoor side.

NetPoint Pro CPE AP
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 users 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
Wire Line Option
Wire line connectivity is also available for both modes: Router and bridge mode
Has advantage over USB based CPE:
Doesnt require a driver No compatibility issues with end users PC No profile definition issues with end users 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 users side Will eat up the base station capacity By default, the CPE-AP blocks wireless LAN traffic on the LAN side.
