A 4g cpe router unlocked 300mbps request starts from the site, not from a catalog adjective. Write the bands, the SIM policy, and the test that the 300 Mbps number is supposed to survive.
| Question | What to ask the factory | What not to assume |
|---|---|---|
| Throughput | Direction, band, channel width, and whether 300 Mbps is a PHY rate or a TCP result. | A title that contains 300Mbps is not a lab report. |
| SIM and lock | Whether the firmware accepts a third-party SIM and which bands are disabled in that build. | Unlocked in a listing is not a carrier approval letter. |
| Radio | Frequency range, MIMO, transmit power, and receiver sensitivity on the proposed model. | A family sheet for an indoor router does not cover this outdoor chassis. |
| Enclosure | Ingress protection test, operating temperature, and the connector mating cycle if the antenna is removable. | An IP65 sticker without a report stays an open item. |
Background: a buyer needs one outdoor CPE to feed a small yard office, with a 15 m Cat6 run into an existing switch and no tower climb beyond a parapet mount. Process: the note lists bands B2, B4, B12, and B13 as questions, asks for a 12 V or PoE power choice, and requests the FCC equipment authorization ID for the exact model. Result: factories reply on one band list and one power path, and any 300 Mbps row is tied to a named test instead of a headline. This is a buyer worksheet, not a completed installation and not a measured saving.
Managed login versus a fixed bridge is a real split. A managed unit can expose SNMP or a web console, and it adds a credential and a firmware path. An unmanaged bridge can be enough when the indoor router already handles policy. Write which side the site needs before you compare prices.
New versus refurbished hardware changes warranty, license transfer, and remaining software support. Ask for condition, prior-use statement, and whether the SIM lock state survives a reset. Do not treat a lower unit price as proof of remaining life.
IEEE 802 overviews can suggest Ethernet questions. They do not prove that this 4G CPE and the indoor switch will pass traffic. Applicable FCC equipment authorization must be checked for the exact proposed radio. This desk does not certify radios.
Continue with the configuration cards or the requirement form.
Match connector, impedance, and the gain the radio was characterized with. A higher gain antenna can change the compliance file. Ask before you add it to the bill of materials.
When the CPE datasheet lists the PoE class and the injector can supply it at the end of the Cat6 run. A 48 V passive injector is a different line from 802.3at.
Keep them outside the radio unit price until the destination and the requested timing are known. A budget figure can be per unit or for the whole order and can stay blank.
There is no file upload on this form. Paste bands, SIM policy, quantity, destination, and timing into the requirement field. Factories can then answer the same sheet.
