Living room entertainment small artifact! Skyworth A1 plus box evaluation

The set-top box for televisions holds a unique place in the Chinese market. It's a diverse landscape filled with various brands and types of devices. You'll find household cable TV boxes capable of receiving channels, pirated knock-offs, and even models designed to intercept signals from outdoor antennas. These products range from those with legitimate licenses and standardized production lines to cheaper alternatives that prioritize entertainment value. The set-top box serves as a budget-friendly way to upgrade older TVs, especially as people increasingly embrace the convenience of lightweight and compact solutions. Take a look at the Skyworth A1 PLUS, now available on the market. A solid choice for those looking to enhance their living room entertainment, it offers more than just basic functionality. A high-quality set-top box like this can transform your living room into a family gathering spot, essentially acting as a portable home audio/video integration system. With access to a wealth of movies, TV shows, and applications, including games, the Skyworth A1 PLUS brings families together for shared experiences. The Skyworth A1 PLUS boasts a quad-core Cortex A7 processor running at 1.0GHz, paired with a quad-core GPU, ensuring smooth operation. It comes equipped with 1GB of DDR3 memory and 8GB of EMMC flash storage, which is faster and more efficient than standard NAND flash. While it supports Ethernet and single-antenna WiFi connectivity, it lacks Bluetooth and voice capabilities, and doesn't offer expandable memory card slots. These features give users a clear idea of what to expect in terms of performance. In terms of design, the Skyworth A1 PLUS maintains a sleek and compact form factor with a matte plastic finish that feels premium in hand. The classic red and black color scheme adds a touch of elegance. The remote control follows a traditional multi-button layout, featuring "learning" functionality to sync with other devices, simplifying the setup process. However, it misses out on modern conveniences like Bluetooth and voice commands. On the connectivity front, the Skyworth A1 PLUS includes USB ports, an HDMI interface, an Ethernet port, and an AV component jack, making it versatile for both new and older TVs. This ensures compatibility across a wide range of setups. The content offered by the Skyworth A1 PLUS is impressive, integrating with one of the seven major licensed GITV broadcasters, alongside popular platforms like Iqiyi and Sohu Video. Known for their extensive libraries, these platforms provide a rich selection of content, including exclusive dramas and international series. The inclusion of SKY UI4.0 software enhances the user experience with an intuitive interface and easy navigation. Performance-wise, the Skyworth A1 PLUS handles 4K video playback smoothly, thanks to its powerful hardware. During testing, it showed minimal lag when opening 4K videos, a testament to its decoding capabilities. It also supports H.265 encoding, allowing for efficient streaming at lower bitrates. Overall, the Skyworth A1 PLUS combines strong performance with a competitive price point, making it an attractive option for anyone seeking a reliable and feature-rich set-top box. Whether you're looking to watch the latest movies or play games, this device caters to a variety of entertainment needs. If you're in the market for a comprehensive TV box, this product deserves serious consideration.

Wireless CPE

What is 5G CPE?

Definition of 5G CPE
CPE stands for Customer Premise Equipment. The so-called front end refers to the equipment in front of the customer's terminal equipment. When we use Wi-Fi, if the distance is far, or there are more rooms, it is easy to appear signal blind spots, resulting in mobile phones or ipads or computers can not receive Wi-Fi signals. The CPE can relay the Wi-Fi signal twice to extend the coverage of Wi-Fi.

What are the benefits of CPE?
Through the following comparison table, it is not difficult to understand the technical advantages of CPE products:

* Currently, the global 5G FWA service is mainly in the Sub-6GHz band, with only the United States and Italy supporting the millimeter wave band.

* 5G CPE integrates the low cost of Wi-Fi and the large bandwidth of 5G, combining the advantages of the two to form a strong complement to traditional fiber broadband.

The relationship between 5G, FWA and CPE
It can be said that FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) will be the most down-to-earth application of 5G technology. FWA business plays a key role in enabling "connecting the unconnected." FWA is a low-cost, easy-to-deploy flexible broadband solution. Compared with wired access technology, FWA has been an ideal choice for deploying broadband in many countries and regions because it does not need to obtain rights of way, dig trenches and bury cables, and drill holes through walls. The development of 5G technology is further promoting the development of FWA.

FWA services (including 4G and 5G) have reached 100 million users. FWA is no longer a niche service; The FWA industry as a whole has been supported by numerous suppliers. Why is that? In the 5G era, 5G CPE receives 5G signals from operator base stations and then converts them into Wi-Fi signals or wired signals to allow more local devices to get online. For operators, the initial user penetration rate of 5G is low, and the investment is difficult to realize quickly; The CPE business can use the idle network to increase revenue for operators, so major operators vigorously promote the development of 5G CPE.

FWA services can be used for both home (To C) and business (To B), and customers have different requirements for CPE devices when using FWA services in different application environments, resulting in consumer grade 5G CPE and industrial grade 5G CPE (similar to home routers and industrial routers).

In 2020, the global market size of 5G CPE will reach 3 million units, and it is expected that in the next five years, the market size of 5G CPE will maintain a compound growth rate of more than 100%, reaching 120 million units in 2025, with a market value of 60 billion yuan. As an important market for 5G CPE, China's 5G CPE market size will reach 1.5 million units in 2020 and is expected to reach 80 million units in 2025, with a market value of 27 billion yuan.

The difference between 5G CPE and other devices
CPE can support a large number of mobile terminals that access the Internet at the same time, and the device can be directly inserted with a SIM card to receive mobile signals. CPE can be widely used in rural areas, cities, hospitals, units, factories, communities and other wireless network access, can save the cost of laying wired networks.

A Router is a hardware device that connects two or more networks, acts as a gateway between networks, and is the main node device of the Internet. Routers use routes to determine the forwarding of data. If it is a home router, it does not support a SIM card slot, and can only receive signals by connecting to optical fiber or cable and then convert it into WI-FI to provide a certain number (several) of terminal devices to surf the Internet.

Industrial 5G CPE is equivalent to 5G industrial routers, and the technology of the two is not very different. On the one hand, the industrial 5G CPE converts 5G network signals into WiFi signals for transmission, and on the other hand, the data received by the WiFi network is converted into 5G network signals for uploading. In addition, industrial 5G CPE generally supports routing functions.

5G CPE trends
According to a research report, after evaluating the products of some mainstream 5G CPE suppliers, many institutions believe that the development of 5G CPE products will continue in two aspects: one is to support mmWave and Sub-6 GHz at the same time; Second, the design will pay attention to humanized operation and installation. The industry development trend will accelerate the demand for 5G in the medical, education and manufacturing industries due to the epidemic, and 5G FWA will promote global 5G CPE shipments.
