OpenCPU 5G architecture
The Sanechips ZX298501S runs at 2 GHz and acts as both the application CPU and the 5G modem, removing the need for a separate host processor.
COMMERCIAL 5G CPE
BWC_Z1
Wi-Fi 6 AX1800OEM READYCommercial 5G CPE built on an OpenCPU platform.
BWC_Z1 combines the Sanechips ZX298501S 5G modem, Wi-Fi 6 AX1800 radios and five gigabit Ethernet ports in a compact vertical enclosure. As an OEM platform it is offered for rebranding, so partners can ship it under their own brand and firmware.

DEPLOYMENT & MANAGEMENT
Plug and play, then managed from the cloud.
Plug and Play with auto APN
Insert a nano SIM and the CPE brings the link up on its own, negotiating APN settings without manual entry.
BW_CLOUD remote management
Register the device to BW_CLOUD for centralised monitoring and remote administration across a fleet.
WireGuard VPN
Build encrypted site-to-site or remote-access tunnels directly on the CPE.
Cell tower details
The interface reports detailed information about the base station the device is currently attached to.
Dual nano SIM tray
Two nano SIM slots sit behind the bottom cover, selectable for carrier choice or failover.
Full network feature set
Port mapping and support for mainstream network protocols cover typical commercial gateway duties.
