Earlier this year, during the Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain, Huawei announced the Balong 5000 5G modem as well as the Huawei 5G CPE Pro router. Now, the device is available for reservation in China through JD.com but the pricing details of the same have not been revealed yet.

The Huawei 5H CPE Pro router is powered by the company’s own Balong 5000 chip which supports Sub6G full-band coverage. The device was awarded China’s first 5G wireless data terminal communications equipment license on 10th July, making it the first router in China to support 5G all-net communication.

The router is designed for home as well as medium-sized enterprises to provide high-quality broadband access. With Wi-Fi 6 technology, it can achieve up to 4.8 Gbps speeds as it supports 4G and 5G networks.

As per the company’s claims, it can download 1 GB HD video file in just 3 seconds through 5G. Also, it is the first CPE router from the company to support HiLink, a smart home interconnection platform developed by Huawei.

It comes with dual-height thermal fins and fluid mechanics design, which improves the Huawei 5G CPE Pro’s thermal efficiency by 30 percent, reducing its volume by 45 percent and offers 5G peak performance by 60 percent compared to the previous generation.

5G technology is going mainstream this year and to be the first-movers into the 5G space, Huawei is all set to launch products compatible with the new technology. Before the company officially launches its first 5G smartphone, it is all set to launch a 5G router.

Huawei has today teased a 5G Wi-Fi router launch by shared a poster on Weibo. The text on the poster reads — “5+6=3.X? is the taste of new products! January 24, 2019, for you!”, confirming that it will be launching a new product on 24th January in China.

The poster doesn’t clearly state that the 5G Wi-Fi router will be launched. But looking closely at the “5+6=3.X” text in the poster, we can see that it says 5G, clearly hinting at the 5G technology. The ‘6’ could be representing Wi-Fi 6 which is the abbreviation for the Wi-Fi 802.11 ax.

The Wi-Fi 802.11 ax standard promises higher data transfer rate and larger capacity along with higher energy efficiency. Further, it’s being reported that the Wi-Fi 6 can reach the speed of up to 11Gbit/s. It is expected to be widely used in smart home devices or IoT-based devices.

This year will witness the 5G technology go mainstream and Huawei wants to be the one leading the game. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Huawei’s chairman Hu Houkun (aka Ken Hu) announced that the company has deployed 5G networks in 10 countries and will soon deploy in 20 more countries.
