Hi!
The concept of CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) is new to me but sounds like what I need. I live in rural area with hills, no ISP and limited cell signal. My best approach for Internet has been via my cell phone (Verizon) with hotspot. My proprty is hilly, house at the bottom of the hill. There's better cell signal at the top of the hill. That's my basic situation.
The best I can think of is to mount my phone permanently at the top of the hill with solar power supply, then somehow extend or push the WiFi signal from the phone to my house. Distance is approximately 250 yards. Was thinking maybe the CPE510 ??
I am open to any all suggestions. I am in I/T but not not a hardware or network expert. Please advise.
Thanks in advance!

There are two CPE 510s required, one at the top of a mountain and one at your residence, for a directional link. Over a range of 250 meters, a mobile phone cannot send something back. 6 months ago, I used a mobile phone for my work but it didn't work well. So for the CPE 510 at the top of the mountain, I recommend using an LTE/UMTS wireless modem linked by cable to it. CPE510 and LTE/UMTS router both require electricity, which can be provided by a solar panel or other power sources.
