NR7101
5G New Radio Outdoor Router
The Zyxel NR7101 5G New Radio Outdoor Router supports the latest 5G NR technology and at the same time remaining full compatibility with 4G/3G networks. This makes NR7101 the best choice for operators who are looking for 5G NR FWA solutions to deliver high-capacity, premium broadband services with high-speed connectivity, enhanced network security and deployment flexibility.
Benefits
Lightning-fast internet connectivity
The Zyxel NR7101 has 5G NR DL speeds higher than 5 Gbps* and 4G LTE DL speeds of up to 2 Gbps*. The wide spectrum bandwidth accelerates internet speeds and reduces network latency for premium and time-sensitive connectivity services.
Strengthen your competitive edge with Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)
Deploying NR7101 as part of FWA allows you to extend your 5G service coverage into subscribers' homes and workplaces without extra wire infrastructure. This secures the TCOs and increases business revenue by supporting a larger number of subscribers with a premium fixed-grade connection.
Datasheet NR7101

3GPP Rel. 15 5G NR, up to 5 Gbps/650 Mbps (DL/UL) with the support of NSA & SA mode
DL 4x4 MIMO, 6 built-in highgain 4G/5G antennas of up to 10 dBi per element
Standard 802.3af/at Gigabit PoE
Bridge and router modes, IPv4/ IPv6 dual stack
Remote management via TR069 (TR-181 and TR-143 speed test) HTTP/web GUI and FTP
Hardened IP68-certified enclosure with industrialgrade components
Zyxel mobile apps (iOS and Android)
Remote firmware upgrade

Remote management and upgrade
Through the LTE radio interface, NR7101 supports TR-069, remote GUI and FTP to be fully configurable. Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) support enables remote firmware upgrades and troubleshooting, through events triggered by the operators.

Environmental durability
With IP68-compliant K.21 6 KV/300 A lightning protection, the Zyxel NR7101 guarantees high-quality connections, a longer device life despite the weather and natural challenges. The NR7101 can operate within a wide range of temperature and humidity, which supports your service deployed in wide territorial scopes.

Easy installation and SA/NSA dual-mode compliant
The Zyxel NR7101 is equipped with a flexible wall or pole mounting kit, integrated IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet (PoE) support and dedicated WiFi AP with mobile apps content graphics for eNB/gNB alignment. NR7101 is also interoperable with both Standalone (SA) and NonStandalone (NSA) deployments.
