OPPO, the leading global smart device brand that recently unveiled its X5 series at MWC, is partnering with rain to offer customers its new 5G CPE routers.
“At OPPO we continue to build our IOT product range as well as our ecosystem. We will continue to combine cutting-edge technologies with aesthetically appealing designs to help consumers attain intelligent and enjoyable lives. 5G is a foundational component of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and OPPO will continue to bring in 5G products to ensure smoother and faster connections,” says Liam Faurie, Head of Operations & Go-to Markets of OPPO South Africa.
Available exclusively on the rain network at launch, the 5G CPE T1a rings true to the OPPO brand with a huge emphasis on design. The routers are white, characterised by its minimalistic cube design with no visible antennas as they are internal. The aesthetically pleasing ultra-fast 5G routers can be displayed in the living room, instead of hidden in the background.
It has a clean yet simple interface with LED lights to indicate the status of 5G, 4G, WiFi and Power. The OPPO branding is subtle and appears on the top of the device, which allows it to blend seamlessly into open living spaces and match the décor at home.
The router is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X55 flagship 5G chipset. Customers can download content ten times faster than on a 4G connection, and downloading a 2GB HD movie will take a few seconds.
The router supports the latest WiFi 6 standard that is capable of higher stream rates and a wider range, so you can work from anywhere. This is perfectly suited for working from home, gaming, streaming and schooling simultaneously.
Customers simply insert their 5G rain SIM card into the router to unlock super-fast connectivity to mobile phones, tablets, computers and any other device with no 5G capabilities to enjoy the same high speeds.
“We are excited to be partnering with rain with its cutting-edge technology and to launch our first 5G CPE T1a product with them in South Africa,” concluded Faurie.
Whether you’re working from home, the office or a coffee shop, the router can tag along with you to provide stable connectivity, suitable for both consumers, gamers and small business needs.
