Description

Tplink CPE220

Extend your wireless broadband network over long distances cost-effectively with the TP-Link CPE220 2.4GHz 300Mbps 12dBi outdoor access point. Designed specifically for outdoor wireless network applications, point-to-point bridging, and long-range WISP setups, this enterprise-grade customer premises equipment delivers reliable wireless coverage across distances exceeding 13 kilometers. Featuring a weatherproof IPX5 enclosure, high-power transmission, passive PoE support, and centralized Pharos Control management, it is the ultimate solution for outdoor networking projects.

Rugged Weatherproof Design & Surge Protection

Engineered to withstand harsh outdoor environments, the TP-Link CPE220 features a durable outdoor-grade ASA plastic shell rated IPX5 for water and dust resistance. Built-in $15\text{ kV}$ ESD protection and $6\text{ kV}$ lightning protection guard against severe weather shocks. This heavy-duty weatherproofing ensures reliable uninterrupted operation in extreme operating temperatures ranging from $-40^\circ\text{C}$ to $70^\circ\text{C}$.

Enterprise Hardware & High Transmit Power

Powered by a Qualcomm Atheros $560\text{MHz}$ processor and dedicated high-gain power amplifiers, the CPE220 generates up to $30\text{ dBm}$ ($1000\text{ mW}$) of output power. Combined with its internal 12dBi dual-polarized directional antenna, this hardware configuration focuses signal transmission directly toward targeted reception points, overcoming environmental interference to deliver stable, high-speed $300\text{Mbps}$ wireless bandwidth across long distances.

TP-Link PharMAX TDMA Technology

As outdoor network density increases, competition for wireless bandwidth degrades network throughput. The CPE220 utilizes proprietary PharMAX TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) technology to allocate dedicated time slots to each connected device. This intelligent channel access schedule prevents packet collisions, stabilizes latency times, and maintains maximum data transfer capacity across crowded WISP and point-to-multipoint networks.

Centralized Management with Pharos Control

Administrators can easily manage their entire outdoor wireless infrastructure using Pharos Control, a free centralized management software package. From a single workstation, network managers can conduct device discovery, perform real-time status monitoring, execute remote firmware upgrades, and maintain overall network health. An intuitive web-based PharOS interface also allows advanced configuration of specific operating parameters.

Flexible Passive PoE & Effortless Mounting

Deploying the CPE220 on high poles or rooftops is simple and efficient. The unit supports Passive Power over Ethernet, allowing high-speed data transfers and electrical power to pass over a single Ethernet cable up to 60 meters long. Included mounting pole straps and an integrated grounding terminal ensure fast, secure installation without requiring expensive nearby electrical outlets.
