About This Device
The InHand CPE02 (CPE02-NANR) is purpose-built for one job: turning a 5G data plan into dependable wired broadband inside your building. As a customer premises equipment (CPE) unit based on a Qualcomm X-series cellular platform, it registers on 5G NR networks and falls back to 4G LTE automatically where 5G coverage is thin, so a single device covers sites at different stages of carrier rollout.
Deployment is deliberately simple. Insert a SIM, place the unit near a window or strong-signal location, and hand off Ethernet to your switch, firewall, or point-of-sale system. At roughly 1.8 lb, the compact indoor design fits shelves, counters, and equipment closets without mounting work, and it needs no outdoor cabling, roof rights, or trenching — the classic blockers for wired circuits at leased or temporary spaces.
For IT teams, the CPE02 slots in as primary connectivity for smaller sites, an instant-on circuit while waiting on fiber installation, or an inexpensive diverse-path backup behind an existing router or SD-WAN edge. The NANR model is configured for North American 5G NR and LTE bands; pair it with a business data plan from your preferred carrier and confirm band alignment for your service area. Remote management support keeps distributed fleets visible without site visits, which matters when you are dropping dozens of these into retail locations or branch offices. For the price of a consumer hotspot, the CPE02 delivers a business-grade, always-on fixed wireless access endpoint.
