These peak rates are specified at 20 MHz bandwidth using a 2:7 TDD configuration. Actual performance depends on network capacity, signal conditions, carrier aggregation configuration, and the capabilities of the serving base station.

The CPE supports LTE TDD channel bandwidths of 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz. Carrier aggregation capabilities include multiple downlink component carriers and uplink carrier aggregation, depending on the MIMO configuration and network deployment.

Integrated Directional Antenna and MIMO

The EG8015G-M11 incorporates an internal directional LTE antenna with an 18 dBi gain specification for its 3.5 GHz configuration.

Its LTE radio architecture supports:

• Downlink MIMO: 4×4.

• Uplink MIMO: 2×2.

• Antenna type: Internal directional.

• Maximum transmit power: 23 ±2 dBm.

This configuration is designed to improve wireless capacity and reception in compatible fixed wireless installations.

Ethernet and Power

The EG8015G-M11 provides a Gigabit Ethernet interface for wired network connectivity. The device supports PoE power, allowing power and data to be delivered through the Ethernet installation when used with a compatible power arrangement.

Verify the exact PoE adapter voltage and included accessories for the unit being supplied.

Network Management and Security

The device supports web-based local and remote management, TR-069, and SNMP as documented in the manufacturer specification.

Additional capabilities include:

• NAT and Bridge operating modes.

• IPv4 and IPv6.

• SIM PIN management and SIM lock.

• Automatic and manual network connection.

• Full-band scanning and frequency locking.

• Cell locking.

• VPN support, including L2TP, GRE, and PPTP.

• Port forwarding and port triggering.

• DMZ and application-level gateway functions.

• IP and MAC filtering.

• Access control and firewall functions.
