Do You Really Understand It? HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro Depth Review

5G is the hottest topic in 2019. HUAWEI launched 5G CPE Pro together with Mate 20X (5G) when users thought that 5G terminals were just mobile phones, . What is 5G CPE Pro and what kind of experience can it bring to users in the future?


What is HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro?
The most common saying is that it is a home router facing the future, but unlike the previous router, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro can also insert a SIM card, and it is also backward compatible with 4G networks. In short, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro can achieve functions similar to mobile hotspots. After inserting an independent SIM card, the 5G signal is converted into a WiFi network or a wired network, so that other smart devices can experience the ultra-fast speed of the 5G network through WiFi or wired access. Fast speed beyond your imagination. Of course, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro can also access the wired optical cat's network and share the function of WiFi but this is not its core value.


What kind of changes can HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro bring?
There is a SIM card slot at the bottom of HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro, which supports the mainstream Nano-SIM cards of mobile phones. Within the 5G signal coverage area, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro will share the 5G network through WiFi or wired access after inserting the 5G SIM card.


At present, large-scale 5G commercial terminals have not arrived. The significance of using HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro is to allow 4G mobile phones, smart TVs, smart speakers and other devices in the home to experience the fast speed of 5G networks in advance.


Based on actual measurements, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro can share download speeds of nearly 1000 Mbps in wired mode, which is 125 MB / s .In WiFi mode, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro can share download speeds above 500Mbps, which is 65MB / s.(The network speed may also be faster, but the network cable and network port are Gigabit standards)



5G networks are not only faster than 4G networks, but also much faster than wired broadband. This statement may subvert the perception of many people, but this is the truth.5G gives a lot of imagination to many industries. With the maturity of technology, the improvement of the network, the increase of users and the reduction of costs, 5G networks will one day completely replace wired networks.

How does HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro share 5G?
HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro has a built-in 7nm Balong 5000 multi-mode 5G chipset, which is also the 5G chip used in HUAWEI Mate 20 X (5G) mobile phones. This chip is compatible with both 4G and 5G networks, and also supports SA and NSA networking. At present, commercial 5G networks of operators are in NSA mode, and they will be upgraded to SA mode in the future. HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro can be switched freely without hardware upgrade.


In order to capture signals more rapidly, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro not only has a built-in 5G full-band multi-polarized butterfly antenna, but also has two 5G antenna expansion interfaces, allowing users to purchase external antennas for a better experience.

HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro is equipped with Lingxiao dual-band WiFi chip, has 4 signal amplifiers, supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band WiFi, and can be combined into one to automatically switch. Through HUAWEI antenna algorithm and Beamformming technology, the quality of WiFi can be improved effectively, and the maximum speed of dual-band WiFi can reach 1167Mbps.


In addition, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro is equipped with two network cable interfaces, one is a Gigabit LAN interface and the other is a Wan / Lan adaptive Gigabit network interface. It also supports a mixed network of 5G and wired access, which can bring higher speeds of Web experience.

From a market perspective, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro may not be a hot product, just like many people pay attention to 5G mobile phones with great enthusiasm, but they may not actually buy it.However, HUAWEI spends high research and development costs on such a product, not focusing on its immediate benefits, but on its future value. As the center of the home network, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro supporting HUAWEIHiLink protocol is also an important part of HUAWEI's "1 + 8 + N" strategy. HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro is a product with long-term development. It is a pioneer in this network age.
