"Motorola's CPEo 450 demonstrates once again that a superior performing CPE provides greater wireless coverage, increased throughput and network capacity, and higher service availability. These attributes translate into lower capex and operating cost for carriers, a faster ROI, lower churn and greater customer satisfaction."
