FAQ
Can Vankom provide both indoor and outdoor CPE devices?
Yes. Vankom can provide indoor CPE, outdoor CPE/ODU, router and gateway-style devices according to the target FWA scenario, radio environment and operator requirements.
Do all models support the same bands and interfaces?
No. Band combinations, Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi generation and management features are configured by model and project. Vankom confirms the final specification during project evaluation.
When should an operator choose outdoor CPE?
Outdoor CPE is suitable when indoor signal quality is limited or when better antenna placement is needed, such as rural homes, suburban rooftops, edge sites or enterprise yards.
Can these devices integrate with operator management systems?
Selected configurations support TR-069/TR-181, remote firmware update, Web UI and other management options. Integration details should be confirmed against the operator platform.
