Overview

The ATEL WB550 gives your business a fast path to 5G internet without waiting on a wired circuit. This indoor fixed wireless access gateway pairs a 5G cellular radio with an integrated omnidirectional antenna, so installers can place it near a window or high shelf and get a usable signal without aiming. Connect your firewall or switch over Ethernet and the site is online the same day the SIM is activated.

  • 5G cellular WAN for fixed wireless access deployments
  • Integrated omnidirectional antenna - no aiming or external antenna run required
  • Indoor gateway form factor for desk, shelf, or wall placement
  • Ethernet LAN handoff to firewalls, switches, and SD-WAN appliances
  • Suitable for primary, temporary, or backup WAN roles
  • SIM-based activation on compatible 5G carrier service
  • Compact unit, approximately 2 lb shipping weight
  • Stand up a new site in hours instead of waiting weeks for a wired circuit

The ATEL WB550 is an indoor 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) gateway built for businesses that need dependable internet where fiber or cable is unavailable, delayed, or too expensive to trench. It terminates a 5G cellular connection indoors and hands off to your LAN over Ethernet, acting as the WAN edge for a branch office, retail location, clinic, or temporary site.

The integrated omnidirectional antenna is the practical difference-maker for indoor installs: there is no dish to aim and no external antenna run to plan. Place the unit where signal is strongest, typically near an exterior wall or window, plug in power and Ethernet, and the gateway handles the rest. That makes the WB550 a good fit for IT teams standing up many sites quickly, and for managed service providers that need repeatable, low-skill installations.

As a dedicated FWA gateway rather than a consumer hotspot, the WB550 is designed for always-on duty. Use it as primary internet at sites with no viable wired option, as an instant-on connection while you wait out a 60- to 90-day circuit install, or as a cellular backup path behind an existing router or SD-WAN appliance so card processing, VoIP, and cloud apps stay up during outages.

The gateway ships ready for carrier SIM activation on compatible 5G service. Exact throughput depends on your carrier plan and local signal conditions, as with any fixed wireless deployment.

Ideal for

  • Primary internet for branch offices and retail sites without viable fiber or cable service
  • Instant-on connectivity while a new location waits out a 60-90 day wired circuit install
  • Cellular backup WAN behind a firewall or SD-WAN appliance for outage continuity
  • Rapid connectivity for temporary offices, construction trailers, and pop-up locations

Questions buyers ask

Does the WB550 need an external antenna?

No. The omnidirectional antenna is integrated, so there is nothing to aim or mount outside. For best results place the gateway near an exterior wall or window where cellular signal is strongest.

How does the WB550 connect to my network?

It hands off internet over Ethernet, so you can connect it directly to a firewall, router, switch, or SD-WAN appliance as the site's WAN connection.

Can I use this as backup internet?

Yes. A common deployment is placing the WB550 behind an existing edge device as a secondary WAN path so payment processing, VoIP, and cloud applications stay online during wired outages.

Do I need a carrier plan?

Yes. The WB550 activates with a SIM on compatible 5G service; you will need a business data plan from your carrier. Real-world speeds depend on your plan and local signal conditions.
