Definition of 5G CPE
CPE stands for Customer Premise Equipment. The so-called front end refers to the equipment in front of the customer's terminal equipment. When we use Wi-Fi, if the distance is far, or there are more rooms, it is easy to appear signal blind spots, resulting in mobile phones or ipads or computers can not receive Wi-Fi signals. The CPE can relay the Wi-Fi signal twice to extend the coverage of Wi-Fi.
What are the benefits of CPE?
Through the following comparison table, it is not difficult to understand the technical advantages of CPE products:
* Currently, the global 5G FWA service is mainly in the Sub-6GHz band, with only the United States and Italy supporting the millimeter wave band.
* 5G CPE integrates the low cost of Wi-Fi and the large bandwidth of 5G, combining the advantages of the two to form a strong complement to traditional fiber broadband.
The relationship between 5G, FWA and CPE
It can be said that FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) will be the most down-to-earth application of 5G technology. FWA business plays a key role in enabling "connecting the unconnected." FWA is a low-cost, easy-to-deploy flexible broadband solution. Compared with wired access technology, FWA has been an ideal choice for deploying broadband in many countries and regions because it does not need to obtain rights of way, dig trenches and bury cables, and drill holes through walls. The development of 5G technology is further promoting the development of FWA.
FWA services (including 4G and 5G) have reached 100 million users. FWA is no longer a niche service; The FWA industry as a whole has been supported by numerous suppliers. Why is that? In the 5G era, 5G CPE receives 5G signals from operator base stations and then converts them into Wi-Fi signals or wired signals to allow more local devices to get online. For operators, the initial user penetration rate of 5G is low, and the investment is difficult to realize quickly; The CPE business can use the idle network to increase revenue for operators, so major operators vigorously promote the development of 5G CPE.
FWA services can be used for both home (To C) and business (To B), and customers have different requirements for CPE devices when using FWA services in different application environments, resulting in consumer grade 5G CPE and industrial grade 5G CPE (similar to home routers and industrial routers).
In 2020, the global market size of 5G CPE will reach 3 million units, and it is expected that in the next five years, the market size of 5G CPE will maintain a compound growth rate of more than 100%, reaching 120 million units in 2025, with a market value of 60 billion yuan. As an important market for 5G CPE, China's 5G CPE market size will reach 1.5 million units in 2020 and is expected to reach 80 million units in 2025, with a market value of 27 billion yuan.
The difference between 5G CPE and other devices
CPE can support a large number of mobile terminals that access the Internet at the same time, and the device can be directly inserted with a SIM card to receive mobile signals. CPE can be widely used in rural areas, cities, hospitals, units, factories, communities and other wireless network access, can save the cost of laying wired networks.
A Router is a hardware device that connects two or more networks, acts as a gateway between networks, and is the main node device of the Internet. Routers use routes to determine the forwarding of data. If it is a home router, it does not support a SIM card slot, and can only receive signals by connecting to optical fiber or cable and then convert it into WI-FI to provide a certain number (several) of terminal devices to surf the Internet.
Industrial 5G CPE is equivalent to 5G industrial routers, and the technology of the two is not very different. On the one hand, the industrial 5G CPE converts 5G network signals into WiFi signals for transmission, and on the other hand, the data received by the WiFi network is converted into 5G network signals for uploading. In addition, industrial 5G CPE generally supports routing functions.
5G CPE trends
According to a research report, after evaluating the products of some mainstream 5G CPE suppliers, many institutions believe that the development of 5G CPE products will continue in two aspects: one is to support mmWave and Sub-6 GHz at the same time; Second, the design will pay attention to humanized operation and installation. The industry development trend will accelerate the demand for 5G in the medical, education and manufacturing industries due to the epidemic, and 5G FWA will promote global 5G CPE shipments.
For patients with spinal cord injuries and stroke, standing and walking may seem like a distant dream. However, the emergence of exoskeleton robots is turning this dream into reality. These devices, often referred to as "wearable robots," are designed based on bionic principles and ergonomic structures. Their external framework provides support and protection, enabling individuals with physical disabilities to perform essential functions such as sitting, standing, walking, and climbing stairs.
In the medical field, companies like Israel’s Rewalk and the U.S.’s EKSO have already obtained FDA approval and are now in the commercial stage. In China, several startups and listed companies are also involved in the development of exoskeleton technology. However, no single company has yet received CFDA certification, meaning that no products are currently available for commercial use.
On November 11, Shenzhen Step Robot Technology Co., Ltd. unveiled its first exoskeleton robot, BEARH1. According to CEO Chen Gong, the next step is to move into clinical trials, which could take between six to nine months. If approved through the national innovative medical device pathway, the timeline might be even shorter.
The BEARH1 features a dynamic 6-joint system (bilateral hips, knees, and ankles), including hip rotation-assisted joints, allowing for a more natural gait. It is suitable for users between 150cm and 175cm tall, weighing less than 85kg. The exoskeleton is adjustable in size, and its real-time gait monitoring system can be viewed via a touchscreen. Sensors detect body movement in real time, while AI algorithms predict user intent. This helps doctors assess gait patterns, identify functional limitations, and improve walking posture, ultimately aiding in the recovery of normal mobility.
Compared to traditional exoskeletons that use rigid actuators, the BEARH1 stands out by incorporating flexible joint drivers. This design eliminates the need for force and torque sensors, enhancing stability, accuracy, and safety while reducing energy consumption.
Founded in September 2016, Shenzhen Step Robot has already reached its third product iteration in just over a year, backed by Lenovo Venture Capital. Liang Ying from Lenovo Ventures believes that flexible joint technology will become a key component in future robotics beyond exoskeletons.
Industry experts like Xu Feng from Shenzhen Xiang Xiang Biomedical Electronics suggest that the company's innovation in flexible joint technology has given it a competitive edge in the market.
With over 20 million disabled people in China, and only 1.357 million receiving basic rehabilitation services as of 2016, there is a clear gap in accessibility. Additionally, with an aging population and a rising number of stroke patients—projected to reach 31.77 million by 2030—the demand for advanced rehabilitation solutions is growing rapidly.
However, the high cost of current exoskeletons, ranging from 60 to 100 million yuan, remains a major barrier for many users. While Shenzhen Step Robot aims to reduce costs through local manufacturing and R&D advantages, making the price about half of foreign models, it still remains expensive.
Despite these challenges, industry insiders believe the exoskeleton market in China could eventually reach 100 billion yuan. With increasing government support for rehabilitation services under medical insurance, the future looks promising for this transformative technology.
