Incredibly Uplink Speed - HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 Review

On February 24, 2020, HUAWEI held an online product and strategy launch conference with the theme "Connecting the Future" to release its new terminal products and related strategies. One of the new products that may change the ordinary home network environment in the future is the HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2.

What is HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 and why is it a product that may change life in the future? Because 5G CPE is likely to gradually replace wired routers and become the hub of home networks, allowing families to truly achieve full wireless Internet access.


5G router with faster speed, full frequency band and smaller size
Faster speed: The HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 is equipped with the upgraded 7-nanometer Baron 5000 chip, which not only supports 5GNSA / SA dual-mode, but also supports 200MHz bandwidth and carrier aggregation technology for the first time, so the theoretical peak download speed of 5G is doubled , reaching up to 3.6 Gbps (Based on results from HUAWEI lab tests by comparing the download speed of HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 and HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro. The test is conducted using 200 MHz bandwidth and TDD mode that supports UL/DL ratio of 8:2.). At the same time, 5G theoretical peak upload speed is up to 250Mbps.

All frequency bands: The HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 supports TDD/FDD 11 5G frequency bands, including the high frequency and high speed of the 5G TDD frequency band and the low frequency coverage of the 5G FDD frequency band, which meets the needs of global operators for the network.

Smaller size: HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 inherits the classic look inspired by ancient Greek columns. This allows it to match with any room interior styles you have. Also, the size of HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 is made 1/3 smaller than the previous generation, unlike its powerful performance would suggest. With a simple press, it can connect with any HUAWEI HiLink devices without a password. And it will automatically sync your password even if you changed the Wi-Fi name.

5G Super Uplink.
With the development of science and technology, the simple high downlink speed can no longer meet the needs of users. Especially the booming live broadcast industry, distance education, telemedicine, and VR video live broadcast industry, these areas all rely more on high uplink speed.


As we all know, there are shortcomings in 5G network coverage. The 5G TDD frequency band has high speed, but the coverage is insufficient. The 5G FDD band covers more space, but the bandwidth is small and the rate is limited.But now, thanks to the innovative HUAWEI 5G Super Uplink technology, merging TDD with FDD, HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 will offer incredibly fast upload speed.

Specifically, the 5G super uplink technology complements the high and low frequencies of the TDD and FDD frequency bands and makes full use of their respective advantages, improving the uplink coverage of HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2. In other words, under the same conditions, 5G signal coverage is better and faster.

Lingxiao Wi-Fi 6+ chip
The improvement of communication technology has not only allowed us to leap from the 4G era to the 5G era, but also allowed the Wi-Fi standard to be developed. Although most of the routers we use now are Wi-Fi 5 standards, the gradually coming Wi-Fi 6 standard will be become the mainstream of society.
HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 is equipped with Lingxiao Wi-Fi 6+ chip, and the Wi-Fi speed increases by 150%, boosted to 2976 Mbps on dual bands. Data from HUAWEI test lab, by comparing HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 and HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro. The theoretical value of 5 GHz Wi-Fi is 2402 Mbps, while the theoretical value of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is 574 Mbps.


HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 puts more Wi-Fi devices on the same network, totaling up to 128 device. In addition, Wi-Fi 6 supports MU-MIMO technology, which can support multiple devices to access the Internet concurrently. Specifically, 5GHz Wi-Fi supports 16 devices to access the Internet simultaneously, and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi supports 4 devices to access the Internet simultaneously. Perfect for crowded offices or large houses where many people need to use phones, tablets and laptops at the same time.


The technical application route of HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 may bring greater changes to our lives: there is no need to rely on a wired network anymore. A HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 and a 5G traffic card can build a network environment at home. The future of online life is so smooth and free.
