Huawei Launches Industry-Leading Category 12 CPE Solution for the U.S. Market at WISPAPALOOZA 2016

Huawei today announced  a new Cat 12 CPE solution it claims is the industry's first CPE capable of simultaneously supporting 4x4 MIMO and 2CC Carrier Aggregation technologies and achieving downlink throughput up to 440Mbps

Huawei today announced at WISPAPALOOZA 2016 the industry's first and fastest 2.5 GHz/3.5GHz Category 12 CPE solution, which is now commercially available in the United States.

Huawei's Cat 12 CPE solution is the industry's first CPE capable of simultaneously supporting 4x4 MIMO and 2CC Carrier Aggregation technologies, and achieving downlink throughput up to 440Mbps. This first-to-market Cat 12 CPE works together with Huawei's TD-LTE base stations to offer a robust wireless solution and is offered in both indoor and outdoor configurations.

"We are excited to launch the industry's first Category 12 CPE solution to enable U.S. operators in bringing high-capacity, fixed wireless broadband connectivity to their customers," said Ming He, President of Huawei Technologies USA. "Fixed wireless provides a cost-effective alternative to broadband operators with its quick deployment and easy plug-and-play installation paradigm."

This CPE supports both 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz. Huawei is also launching additional advanced LTE technologies, including downlink 8x8 MIMO, 4-carrier aggregation and 256QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) in the near future. These new technologies significantly increase spectrum efficiency and provide peak connecting rates of up to 1 Gbps.
