ATEL AOL-J912 Outdoor LTE Cat 12 CPE with Directional Antenna

The ATEL AOL-J912 is an outdoor 4G LTE Cat 12 CPE designed for the hardest fixed wireless installs: sites at the edge of carrier coverage, metal-clad buildings that block indoor signal, and rural or industrial locations where wired broadband is simply not an option. This variant pairs the J912 outdoor radio platform with a directional antenna, concentrating gain toward a chosen cell tower for a stronger, more stable link than any omnidirectional indoor device can achieve at the same location.

Mounting the radio outdoors eliminates the building-penetration losses that cripple indoor cellular equipment - exterior walls, low-E glass, and metal roofs can each cost significant signal. With the AOL-J912, the radio sits on a pole or wall mount with clear line toward the tower, and the connection comes into the building over Ethernet cabling to feed your router, firewall, or switch.

The J912 platform runs LTE Cat 12, supporting downlink speeds of up to 300/600 Mbps and uplink of up to 75/150 Mbps depending on carrier configuration and signal conditions, and its enclosure carries an IP67 rating for sustained outdoor exposure to rain, dust, and temperature swings.

Typical buyers include WISPs and integrators building fixed wireless service, IT teams connecting rural branches, farms, and utility sites, and businesses that need a dependable primary or backup WAN where the nearest fiber ends miles away. Aim the directional antenna during installation using signal readings, and the site gains carrier-grade internet without waiting on construction.
