The CPE3-P is built for long-range outdoor bridging, and the datasheet lists a coverage area of 3 km (1.86 miles). It also lists a maximum bridge distance of 3 km, with example bridge performance figures of 90 Mbps at 0.5 km, 80 Mbps at 1 km, 60 Mbps at 2 km, and 40 Mbps at 3 km. That matters because it gives you a realistic picture of what to expect as distance increases, instead of just seeing one headline number. Online product listings for the exact model also highlight the same long-range positioning, which lines up with why range is one of the first questions buyers ask about this type of wireless bridge.

Yes, the datasheet supports both types of deployment. Under software, it lists both Base Station and CPE working modes, and under performance it says the maximum number of connections supported by the root bridge is 5. That makes it suitable for point-to-point links as well as smaller point-to-multipoint setups where one root bridge connects to multiple remote units. Online listings for the exact model also describe it as a wireless bridge with TDMA and support for 1 to 5 PTMP CPEs, which matches the datasheet details.

The datasheet lists a wireless data rate of 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz. It also supports channel bandwidths of 20/40 MHz on 2.4 GHz and 20/40/80 MHz on 5 GHz, which helps explain how the unit reaches those rates. For buyers, this matters because a bridge is not just about distance, it is also about whether the link can carry enough bandwidth for the traffic you need. Online product pages for the exact CPE3-P emphasize the same 867 Mbps 5 GHz positioning, which is one reason speed is such a common pre-purchase question.

Yes, the datasheet directly addresses camera use, which is a strong sign this is one of the most practical buyer questions for this model. It gives recommended connected camera counts by distance, including 12 cameras at 0.5 km, 10 at 1 km, 8 at 2 km, and 5 at 3 km for 4–5 Mbps streams. For higher 7–8 Mbps code streams, it recommends 5 cameras at 0.5 km, 5 at 1 km, 2 at 2 km, and 1 at 3 km. That gives you a much clearer idea of whether this bridge can realistically support your surveillance link instead of leaving you to guess. 

Yes, the CPE3-P is designed with outdoor use in mind. The datasheet lists an IP55 rating and also specifies surge protection details, including ±4 kV for common mode on the service port and ±4 kV common mode / ±2 kV differential mode on the power connector. It also supports an operating temperature range of –30°C to +55°C, which makes it better suited for demanding outdoor environments. Online product listings for the exact model also highlight the IP55 enclosure, which is exactly why durability is one of the top questions buyers tend to ask before installing a bridge outside.

The CPE3-P supports multiple power methods, which makes installation more flexible. According to the datasheet, it can use a 12 V, 1 A DC power connector and it also includes a passive PoE injector using a 24 V, 0.6 A DC power adapter, with support for PoE/PoE+. The datasheet also explains that when the unit is powered by 24 V passive PoE or 802.3at, it can supply power to other devices via PoE, but when powered by 12 V DC or 802.3af, it cannot supply PoE out. That is useful because it helps you plan the install correctly and avoid surprises when powering downstream devices.

The datasheet lists 3 x 10/100BASE-T ports. That matters because it gives you more flexibility than a single-port bridge, especially when you need to connect more than one wired device at the remote side. The unit also has a stated PoE budget of 15.4 W for two ports, which is important if your design depends on powering other devices through the bridge. Online listings for the exact CPE3-P also call out the 3 x 100 Mbps ports, which reinforces why port count is one of the most common buyer questions.

The product title and datasheet identify the CPE3-P as a 5 GHz CPE with a 13 dBi built-in antenna. The datasheet also lists antenna gain as 2 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 13 dBi on 5 GHz, with both 30° horizontal and 30° vertical orientation. For buyers, that matters because a more focused antenna pattern is exactly what you want for long-distance bridge links where signal direction and stability are important. General outdoor CPE guidance online also notes that CPE devices are typically directional rather than omni-directional, which fits this product’s intended use.

The datasheet shows several management options, including Web management, Cloud management, SNMP, and SSH. It also supports tools like antenna alignment, spectrum scan, and Self Organizing Network, which can help when you are setting up or maintaining a wireless link. This matters because a bridge is much easier to live with when you can monitor it remotely and fine-tune it without unnecessary site visits. Online listings for the exact model also mention eWeb and Lysora Cloud, which matches the management features shown in the datasheet. 

The datasheet includes a package contents section, so this answer can stay very specific. It lists 1 device, 1 user manual, 1 warranty card, 1 DC power adapter, 1 PoE injector, 4 Phillips pan head self-tapping screws (4.2 mm x 19 mm), and 4 cable ties. It also shows power cord, rack-mount bracket, and mounting bracket as “-”, so those are not listed as included accessories. That helps you avoid assuming extra hardware is in the box when planning your install.
