Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the CPE520 over lower-range outdoor CPE models?
The 16dBi antenna enables links beyond 20km, ideal for distant branch offices, remote locations, or across wide facilities where other CPEs fall short.
How does a 16dBi antenna compare to 13dBi or 9dBi?
Higher gain (dBi) means longer range; 16dBi reaches farther than 13dBi or 9dBi, though it requires very precise antenna alignment.
Can I connect a distant office location reliably with 300Mbps?
300Mbps is plenty for standard office operations like email, VoIP, and file transfers; contact Procure.ae about higher-speed models for bandwidth-heavy tasks.
Is point-to-multipoint connectivity available with the CPE520?
The CPE520 is designed for point-to-point links; for serving multiple remote sites, ask Procure.ae about base station alternatives.
How does the rugged enclosure perform in desert heat?
The rugged design resists dust, heat, and sun exposure; operating from -30C to 70C accommodates Gulf summers, though contact Procure.ae for extreme-climate specifics.
Does PoE power delivery reduce installation costs?
Yes, PoE over a single Ethernet cable eliminates the need for separate electrical wiring to the rooftop, saving installation time and expense.
What are delivery timelines for high-range outdoor CPEs?
Procure.ae supplies the CPE520 across the UAE and GCC on a request-a-quote basis; contact the team for lead times.
Can Procure.ae manage installation on distant rooftops?
Yes, Procure.ae provides site surveys, rooftop installation, professional antenna alignment, and commissioning support.
What frequency band and range does the CPE520 cover?
The CPE520 operates on 5GHz delivering 300Mbps, engineered for point-to-point links beyond 20km.
What comes in the package with the CPE520?
Please contact Procure.ae to confirm what is included—antenna, mounting hardware, PoE injector, cabling, and setup documentation.
What warranty applies to outdoor CPE equipment?
Contact Procure.ae to verify warranty terms for the CPE520, including environmental weathering and heat exposure coverage.
