TP-Link CPE510 5GHz Outdoor Wireless Access Point

The TP-Link CPE510 is a professional-grade outdoor wireless access point engineered for long-range point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless networking applications. Featuring a built-in 13dBi dual-polarized directional MIMO antenna and operating on the 5GHz frequency band, this device delivers reliable 300Mbps wireless connectivity over distances exceeding 15 kilometers.

Enterprise-Grade Hardware for Outdoor Deployment

Built with Qualcomm Atheros enterprise-level chipsets and a weatherproof enclosure, the CPE510 operates in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to 70°C (-22°F to 158°F). The industrial-grade design withstands harsh environmental conditions including rain, snow, wind, and direct sunlight, making it suitable for deployment in challenging outdoor locations.

High-Power Transmission and Extended Range

The CPE510 features adjustable transmission power from 0 to 27dBm (500mW) combined with high sensitivity reception down to -95dBm. This advanced radio front-end design enables system-level optimizations for wireless transmission distances exceeding 15 kilometers in field-tested conditions. The dual-polarized directional antenna with 45° H-plane and 30° E-plane beam width ensures focused signal delivery with reduced noise interference.

MAXtream TDMA Technology

TP-Link's proprietary Pharos MAXtream TDMA (Time-Division-Multiple-Access) technology optimizes network performance in point-to-multipoint configurations. This technology improves throughput, capacity, and latency performance by reducing wireless competition and collisions as network scale increases, maintaining consistent end-user experience across multiple connected devices.

Multiple Operation Modes

The CPE510 supports five operation modes: Access Point, Client, Repeater, AP Router, and AP Client Router (WISP). This versatility allows the device to adapt to various network topologies and deployment scenarios, from simple point-to-point links to complex outdoor Wi-Fi coverage applications.

Enhanced Protection and Reliability

Double ESD protection safeguards the device with 15KV ESD protection and 6000V lightning protection. The grounding terminal and PoE adapter with grounding wire provide multiple layers of defense against electrical surges. The passive PoE adapter supports deployment up to 60 meters (200 feet) and includes remote reset functionality for convenient maintenance.

Centralized Management with Pharos Control

The included Pharos Control centralized management software enables network administrators to manage multiple CPE510 units from a single interface. Functions include device discovery, status monitoring, firmware upgrades, and network maintenance. The PharOS web-based management system provides detailed configuration options for professional installations.

Technical Specifications

The CPE510 operates on IEEE 802.11a/n wireless standards across the 5.15-5.85GHz frequency range. It features one 10/100Mbps shielded Ethernet port with passive PoE input, consuming a maximum of 13 watts. Security features include WPA/WPA2 encryption, wireless MAC address filtering, and multi-SSID support with VLAN tagging in AP mode. The compact dimensions of 110 x 57 x 33.5mm facilitate easy mounting using the included pole mounting straps.
