BaiCells EG8561A-NR11 Photon OD63H Outdoor 5G NR CPE, 14 dBi, Gigabit Ethernet, IP67

The BaiCells EG8561A-NR11 Photon OD63H is an outdoor 5G NR customer premises equipment device developed for fixed-wireless broadband connectivity. It connects to compatible 5G cellular infrastructure and provides a Gigabit Ethernet connection for downstream network equipment.

Designed for outdoor deployment, the EG8561A-NR11 combines an integrated directional antenna, cellular connectivity, and an IP67-rated enclosure in a single CPE platform.

5G Connectivity and Supported Frequency Bands

The EG8561A-NR11 supports 5G Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) network architectures. Its documented cellular band support includes:

• 5G NR: n48, n77, and n78.

• LTE TDD: B42, B43, and B48.

Confirm the target operator's frequency allocation, network configuration, SIM requirements, and device provisioning before deployment. Support for a frequency band alone does not guarantee compatibility with every carrier.

Directional Antenna and RF Design

The device incorporates a 14 dBi internal directional antenna and a 2T4R radio configuration. Its directional design is intended for fixed-wireless installations where the equipment can be positioned toward a compatible cellular base station.

Appropriate site selection, signal assessment, and antenna alignment are important for achieving reliable connectivity.

Ethernet Connectivity and Power

The EG8561A-NR11 provides one Gigabit Ethernet interface for wired connectivity to a router, switch, firewall, or other compatible network equipment.

The documented power specification is 24V PoE. Confirm the required power adapter, Ethernet cabling, and installation accessories before ordering, particularly if the existing network uses a different PoE voltage or standard.

Outdoor Installation

The IP67-rated enclosure is designed to provide protection against dust and water ingress under the applicable test conditions. The model is intended for outdoor fixed-wireless deployments.

Mounting hardware, cable routing, grounding, and environmental installation requirements should be confirmed against the applicable installation guide.

Management and Deployment Considerations

The broader Photon OD63H product-family documentation describes web-based management and TR-069 network management. Because features may vary by model, region, and firmware, confirm the available management functions for the specific EG8561A-NR11 unit before deployment.

The BaiCells EG8561A-NR11 is a potential fit for fixed-wireless broadband projects, remote network connectivity, and business locations where compatible 5G coverage is available.

4. Compatibility

Cellular network compatibility: The EG8561A-NR11 supports 5G NR bands n48, n77, and n78, plus LTE TDD bands B42, B43, and B48. The target network must use compatible bands and supported network configurations.

Wired network compatibility: The Gigabit Ethernet interface can connect to compatible Ethernet-equipped network devices. The exact operating mode and configuration requirements should be checked in the applicable manual.

Power compatibility: Use a compatible 24V PoE power solution. Do not assume that an arbitrary IEEE PoE switch or injector is compatible solely because it supports PoE.

SIM and carrier provisioning: Confirm SIM format, carrier approval, network provisioning, and any device-locking restrictions before purchase.

Regional limitations: Supported bands and regulatory approvals can vary by product variant and sales region. Confirm the exact regional SKU before deployment.
